The young man who thinks he is
poor because ne has no bank account,
little understands the value of Gods
free gift Of health and strength, little
appreciates the fact that the brightest
and best of the country are self-made,
and come to the notice of the world
from just such beginnings. Not by
idly moaning that they are poor, but by
going carefully to work, petfecting
themselves in their chosen pursuits and
becoming so useful to those about them
that their services are always in de-
mand, whether it be en- the platform,
in the shop or in The kitchen, for all
are honorable alike.
