The citizen who, through avarice or
SelfishnesS. declines to bear his part OF
the burdens of citizenship, is i'll one
sense robber He takes something for
nothing No law can reach him but an
outraged public sentiment should de-
prive him of esteem.
Stinginess does not pay even from a
worldly standpoint. The leech-style OF
living may save il few dollars for sell

lost in the end.
Public spirit is not measured by finan-
cial ability The wealthy are not al

poorer are the most liberal. \ mans

agency of men. certain minor duties are
imposed upon. members of their house
holds, and even here the full RESPONSE
bility devOlves upon the head of the
family.
The Fourth Commandment. providing
for Il proper vet practicable observance
of the Sabbath. directs that lin it thou
shalt not do any work. thou. nor thy
son, nor thy daughter, thy man-scrvant.
nor thy maid->ervant. nor thy stranger

of the household are comprised within
the prohibition except one. Nor thy

been led to suppose that the >i"ni!-

i quite different. is we inn
