the more intricate business of life.
If all men were qualified for high

There is something for all to do, the
high and the low, the weak and the
strong, and each and all should meet
the Obligations falling to him in
cheerful and conscientious way, and
the world will be the happier for 1t
all.
The great fault of many men Is to
distrust their avocations in life. They
feel that their neighbor has been bless
ed with a better position in society,
while they have been forced, by cir
cumstances, to carry on the work new
er rightfully intended for them to co.
Some have disagreeable work to do
in life and are dissatisfied.
All work can not be pleasant. Some
positions are dangerous, some are not.
Some work requires men to meet and
mix with muck, while Others face the
cashiers desk in oanks. There IS a
social difference. Yet in both positions
men are fulfilling their destinies. Fate
is the final arbiter of our lives. No
one at birth can say what the days
will bring to him. Sons of wealthy
frequently meet their ends in direst
poverty, glad to tramp from place to
place and profit by some small task.
The sons of ditch-dig.ers sometimes
stalte the world with their genius.
We are al at birth equal. In death,
when We lie down for our final rest in
the grave, God recognizes no differ-
encc in our clay.

his energies to making the business

should respect his calling, whatever
it may be. He should honor his bus
mess, for any honest business is en-
titled to respect. He should never
blush because he occupies a humble
position in life and his neighbor a bet
ter one. He should look out into the
world with fearless, honest eyes, and
do his best. Angels can do no more
1t is surprising how many men there
are who do not wi n their sons or any
one else, to adopt their calling. This
IS mistake. It Is never wise to speak
i'll OF your vocation in life, howcyer
repugnant you may think 1t is, or
however humble.
It IS an encouraging sign and
speaks well of a man when he shows
a pride in what he IS doing.
