out of the dilemma. and pull up the one
who looks to him to make things straight
and smooth. Hardly any one realizes
how much dependence we place upon one
another. till that one Is removed from our
environment, and we are like ship at
sea with disabled rudder till we find
some one else to whom we can confide
our difficulties and, In way, shift re-
sponsibility to them. A. E. RANNEY.
Our lives are songs;
God writes the words,
And we set them to music at leasure;
And the song is sad or the song Is glad.
AS we choose 10 fashion the measure.
We must write the song,
Whatever the words.
Whatever its rhyme or meter:
And II it Is sad, we must make II glad.
And il sweet/we must make il sweeter."
Mrs. W. +. HALLECK.
Responsibility brings happiness. for life
is not worth the living unless we have
something or somebody Of whom to think
and love There is no living in love with
out sorrow. care, responsibility. but by
doing cur duty our cares are pleasures,
our sorrow is changed into Joy which no
man may take away from US.
W. H. REED.
We are placed IN this world for some
good purpose We have duties to per-
feHow-man. These duties are our re-
sponsibilities.
We owe IL 20 ourselves % make the
most Of the talents given us and we owe
it 10 mankind to use our abilities for the
general good.
The little Dutch boy who stopped a
tiny leak in one of the Holland dykes
with his finger and patiently held il in
place all night until relieved next morn
ing had a high idea OF the responsibility
resting on his little shoulders toward
his fellow-man-
The captain who calmly goes down with
bis vessel gives 70 the world a splendid
example Of the responsibility incumbent

Responsibility goes hand in hand with
/ influence. for just so sure as our words
/ and deeds influence others for good or
evil. just so sure are we responsible for
/ the trend Of that influence. Every intelli-
gent human being is responsible 10 the
world and his Creator for his little share
of the worlds work In a material way.
/ AS optimists our chief responsibility lies
| in always being kind and cheerful TO all
with whom we come in contact. A gen.
tie word. a kindly smile. a helping hand.
/ and we cheer the world on TO purer
thoughts and higher ideals.

/ We admire the man who has carried
the weight of responsibility on his
! shoulders, and yet lived we'll laughed
often, and loved much; who has gained
/ the respect OF intelligent men, and the
love OF little children; who has filled his
niche and accomplished his task; who
has left the world better than he found
H.
! We who are responsible for an i'm
proved poppy, a perfect poem, or res
cued soul. should never lack apprecia-
ton of earth's beauty or fail to express
it, We owe TO the world the best that
we have and should only look for the
good in others. The human race is like
an endless chain where each link gently
leans upon the other. B. R. soNEN.

Responsibility walks hand in hand with
capacity and power. If the master takes
no account nf his servants. they will
take small account of him and care not
what they spend, who are never brought

Every tub must stand upon it's own

Every days toll is an every days bless,

Though povertts cottage and crust we
may share;
Weak is the back on which burdens are
pressing.
But stout is the heart that is strength
ened by prayer.
Somehow or other the pathway grows
brighter,
Just when we mourned there was mons

Hope In the heart under the burder
seems lighter,
And somehow or other we get 10 th'

Let come what will. I mean to bear #

The government should conserve th'
health of its citizens The spirit shown
by the Optimist Club lifts a great shar,
of the burden from many shoulder OF
account of the little ones being sen
away from the torrid heat. If it coulC
be lifted from thousands 1t would be al

den rests on mothers after being up al
day, having to walk the floor with sicl
babies suffering with the heat. Those
