NOBLESSE OBLI(:E.

Every person owes something to
his fellow men and in so far as he
pays his obligations he lives a full
life. The life of the hermit is not
natural. God created men to live in
groups, i'll families and tribes
Through society their natures have
developed until no man is complete
alone.
where to one another. The musical
talent should delight the crowded con-
cert hall and the orator ought TO Use
his powers of rhetoric for the better
ment of mankind. The rich should
help. not crush. the poor while the
poor should do their best for their
neighbors and themselves.
The higher rank a man has. the
more he owes the world. The French
prOverb. "Noblesse Oblige." means
nobility imposes obligation" a man
of rank in tyrant-ridden France re-
rognized high obligation in THE
protection and preservation OF the
rights of his dependents. How much
more should this same principle he
recognized in a free country where all
have greater opportunities?
1t is not enough that a man is
thrifty and law abiding. He should
be generous and kind. He should
have love for his fellow men. His
learning and his wealth do not belong
tions to share his ability and his pos
sessions with others The more he
has. the larger are his opportunities
and the greater his responsibility.
