Real Religion Garment That Must Be Worn Every Day In

sabbath-A Niche In the Busy Word-Its So Sim
pie and Easy to Be Honest
DOLLY DALRyMPLE

| The secret of life, my friends, is service,
This starts off like a sermon, but il
| isn't-it's merely a fragment from the
! diary of busy woman's life, and l am
wondering in the beginning just how
many of us know the meaning of the word
| Service"
Do you know that service is doing
your share in making life move more
smoothly for the people about you?
That is doing your share to hasten the
day that shall be marked on the calendar
as ''the millenniumn-tha red letter
day" OF the world. when everyb body shall
have attained the state of charity and far
reaching kindness, when he will be busy
doing for as he would be done by?
OF course. theoretically, you want that
day to come, and so do l. but it isn't COM
Ing right for YOU or for me. unless We
get busy doing our little best to make
all the other people we know do their
best.
No-no-nol
1t isn't a question of church or even OF
Sunday. SO you needn't start retailing
your religious activities.
True religion is a garment that must
be worn every day in the week, instead
of a cloak merely donned for the Sabbath.
Suppose while we are discussing things
we reduce the matter 10 a working bass.
l will assume that you are working for
your living, even as | am working Tor
mine; that you have the satisfaction of
filing niche in the business world. and
thar you are contributing your share 10
the world of business.

A maid recently applied to a housekecp-
er of my acquaintance, asking for posi-
tion saying she had been living with Mrs
So and So for year.
Doesn't she take boarders?" the house
keeper asked
well, naw'm. said the maid. 'she don't
zactly keep boarders She has er few
friends who jes comes IN ther tex dey

her house, but naw'm--she don't do as you
'low--tek boarders, prozactly.'.
Now will you tell me WHY any one
would want to deny taking boarders or
be ashamed of doing it?
To my mind Keeping boarders is tie
very hardest work that woman can do.
She earns twice as much as the average
boarders pays--and she ought TO be proud
of making a homo for people who can't
afford a home; for giving them good food
and generally making them comfortable
It's so much simpler to be honest with
ones SELF and other people
The only reason that a woman shoulda
be ashamed of taking boarders, or clerk
ing in shoe store, or writing for news
paper, or doing anything under the sun
to make an honest dollar, is when she
doesn't give value received for what she
is given.
