PLEASURES OF WORK.


There is no nobler sight than a
workman going home sober to kind
home Men work for wives and chill
dren. If you take away the home you
paralyze industry. There are men
who do nothing; there are women
who do nothing, who eat up their
souls in petty cares. They are the
hinderers in the community. They
have no object to suffer for. Work
for the home calls out the reserves
of the heart. To the young man work
and pleasure never seem associated.
He associates gladness with a holiday,
a time set apart from work. In the
garden of Eden Adam had nothing to
do but enjoy himself. After he sinned
he was doomed to work. What are
the songs of gladness that all true
workmen have? The consciousness of
independence is one of them. Spinoza,
the highest philosophical genius in
Europe, could not accept charity, but
earned his living with his own hand.
