want them to detect 1t a little later
in your degeneracy. When the child
gets to the point of standing upright
after fashion and can waddle over
the dusty rug, we tell our admiring
friends how Bessie can walk and she
| is only eleven months, whereas Bes-
sic is never going to walk in the
truest sense of the term.
If you are laborer, there are
many subjects which need your at
tention, There is theology, science,
the capital and labor matter, the err
rors of scripture and the mistakes OF
Moses, these all need settling each
week of your life, and this will give
you an excuse for manifesting your
mate Laziness, for you cannot work
and talk at the same time. So II
you ever expect to become efficient In
genuine Laziness, you will make a
strong point of talking good deal
on subjects as foreign to your own
life as weasels to chickens. A weasel,
as you know, is a small carnivorous
quadruped, and chicken is q
hicken.
If you are minister of the Cos
pei, lop off little this year. 1t will
not be necessary to read that chapter
again for you read several times in
school and two or three times since
you left school, and of course you
absolutely know what it says. Make
a stagger at it and work from that
basis. You might get book of il
Illustrations and select some good
things and work them in. You can
twist the scriptures quite lot to
make them fit an illustration supplied
by the newspaper men, and besides If
you do not read accurately your
Laziness will grow more readily. At
ter while you will get to thinking
it as hard for rich man to go to
heaven is it is to stick needle in a
camels eye and that when they threw
down Jezebel the disciples picked up
twelve baskets of fragments. One OF
the best students we have on the
list is the minister who makes few
calls upon parishioners, and Stops
along through his quotations, forget
ting what the poet said, and also
forgetting what poet said it. We
have quite few ministers listed
among our. students, nearly all of
whom belong to the Bapperterdist
church.
If you are mother in your home,
cut and cover a little. Tell Joe you
will tan his jacket if he does that
again, and then when he does it,
tell him again about the tanning he
will get NEXT time. Keep on telling
him about something that never takes
place except when you are good and
mad, and then your natural Laziness
coupled with our best endeavors in
training you, will see you through,
for you can get out of more real
brain endeavor and reduce yourself
to the point of the veriest Laziness
through this slipshod way easier than
in any other way we have ever seen,
and what we most want is to be
permitted to drift along with the tide
of he least resistance.
If you are a Christian father in
the home, you do not need to pray
with the family That is an old
obsolete practice. Cut it out. You
are in busy world, and this matter
of praying is one of the greatest
enemies of the cause you have espous-
ed. |. e., genuine all-wool and yard
wide Laziness. Besides, what do you
want to waste time for? For what
reason do you want to bow your
knee to the Almighty? The Presid-
ing Elder won't come your way more
than once year, and you can deliver
over to him the worship while he is
within your gates, and that is the
very natural thing to do anyway. The
Superintendent of Missions won't
come in on you very often and it is
the easiest thing in the world to do,
just to let him pray at that time.
No man has ever yet got our sheep
skin who has been in the habit of
praying with his family, and if you
want to be out your had-earned
money and get nothing in return,
just let your wife keep you in the
notion of praying with her and the
children. This institution has as
much regard for the grace of God as
anybody has, but you have listed with
us with the idea of graduating as the
most graceful Laziness dispenser in
your state, and we feel under obliga-
tons to do the best we can for you.
