HERE AND THERE
SABBATH REFLECTIONS.

II You ignorantly conduct your pri.
vate business SO as to conflict with the
public good you are not good citizen.
II you knowingly conduct your private
business so as to conflict with the pub
lie good you are q vicious citizen. A
man who considers his own private in
terests of more importance than the
public good is not properly educated
He makes the very serious mistake of
injuring the whole of which he himself
is part, thus ignorantly injuring him
self indirectly. The college that sends
out graduates with such propensities is
emitting very vital part. If pecu-
liarity of circumstances demands that I
should sacrifice my private business for
the social welfare and willingly do so,
l have done great thing; and not from
any angle is my loss total, for myself
am part of the body receiving the
benefit. Seer Here Is great principle
that will yield wonderful returns il
carefully cultivated. In fact, q man.
greatness is measured by his concern
for the public good. It stands in in.
verse ratio to his selfishness Our like
ness to God increases as our selfshness
diminishes.. There is difference be-
tween the extremely selfish man and
the brute in favor Of the brute. The
selfish man is base deserter from
higher plane, the brute is a humble
creature doing as its Creator designed.
A careful summing up hinges the whole
case on selfishness. We grow superior
in proportion as we overcome self.
