Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1913-09-19

There never was time in which
mankind was absolutely perfect in all
things; nor do we believe such will
be the state of society before the
millennium dawn; but, there have been
periods in which existed more
wholesome regard for sacred obliga-
tons. The tendency to degenerate
from exalted conditions is a growing
failure; and the affection is apparent
in every phase Of civilized life. The
Golden Rule is trampled upon daily,
and there Is a small inclination to
render as we would receive. Senti-
ments, enthusiastically expressed In
favor OF religion, fall short in its
practice; and promises faithfully Civ.
en- are treated with disdain. Through
this medium lack of confidence Is
created, and operations are hampered
because faith in integrity is destroyed.
There are few who, seemingly real
izing that the performance Of obliga-
tons of individuals to each other Is
the basis upon which prosperity
stands; because q solemn trust be-
tween man and man removes obstruc-
tons and throws wide the gates OF
opportunities. But when these are
closed on account of mans delinquent
cy and indifference to the duties
which should direct his steps, stagna-
ton follows; and general depression
reigns where peace and plenty should
abide. Nothing Is SO destructive to
happiness as the unsettled condition
which disturbs the repose of communi-
ties; and every act which casts a
shade over the conduct Of society re-
tards to a certain degree, Its on
ward strides. Little fOrethought rel
alive to the part each is expected to
play in the drama of life is exhibited;
and we drift along needless Of inev.
liable consequences. Very often, dill
igence in small matters leads to con-
troll in great ones; and by our failure
to properly cultivate the chances by
which our varied careers are affected,
We forfeit cherished blessings and
lose the reward which faithful service
begets. Our understandings are ex-
perimental, and We are not wise as
to the outcome; but where duty meets
its requirements, things may be reck-
oned with less degree of uncertainty.
The wheel of fortune ever turns; at
each revolution somebody wins and
somebody loses; but winner and loser
alike pursue their occupation in hopes
of final success. With faith in the
honesty of our fellowman, we rest
our hopes of triumph; but should he
desert our cause in the midst Of &C.
ton, our prospects are doomed to dis
appointments. Human interests are
so interviewer that whatever Injuries
one member mas a baneful effeG up
on the other, likewise; therefore, 1t
is fitting that caution in dealing
should be exercised lest. in our ef-
forts to handicap the progress Of
others, we do irretrievable damage
to our own.

Colonel Newport, the eighty-two-year-

"Ah, well! And why, then, has
not Edward come to bid me good

They could not make him remember
that Edward was long dead. With
tears in their eyes his grandchildren
brought him letters and flowers to dis
tract him.
