mule carried out of the stream In his sponges,
are the lot Of men who hang back who find
triiing excuses or the most absurd Of reasons
for not doing what they ought to do.
Is it not men and women Of very mediocre
intelligence whom we find saying in q Jealous
tone: i" 1t is not my place to do that: that
is not my work. Is 1t men and women who
are making any place in the world for them
selves who qutbble over simple tasks? There
is a pettiness destructive of any nobility of
mind and character among those who would
make hair splitting divisions of duties, or
would argue the question as to whether II

developed intelligence in man or maid when
you find either fearing. in a quarrelsome
way that too much is being required of them.
Even when this is actually true. a sullen
resistance is never half as effective as some
honest straightforward acceptance Of the
situation until matters can be improved.
The man of sullen attitude is little prepared
to recognize a real kindness or to make the
best Of any situation good or bad. He be-
lieves II necessary to be on the defensive
