KEEP YOURSELF WORTH
ALL YOU POSSIBLY CAN

lonn. man or young woman, YOU
are worth something Don't sell
Yourself too cheap. Your health.
strength, intellect, industry, applica
ton, morals, principles and high
charactcr--all of these are an asset.
They are worth something if You
have any of them. They are price
less if you have them all, for they are
what make foremost men and wom-
en-. They make great teachers, work
rrS, preachers, leaders. generals in
wal, captains of industry, managers
of railroads and heads of corpora
lions.
Such men aS these are not chosen
Tor their good look, or fine clothes.
Certainly not! Neither are they ever
chosen because of their dishonesty,
immortality, thoughtlessness, selfish
ness or disbelief in the hand of d.
vine Providence. Some men of this
kind succeed but the exceptions are
rare.
Remember, in this frivolous time.
that the one thing you really have
rs long rs you live is your body.
That is yours. That stays with you
To the end You must live with your
self. Where you go, it goes with you.
When YOU pass away it is in your
ra-kct. There is only the hope of
Immortality left to console your
friends.
II this be- true-and it cannot be
dcnled-make the priceless gift of
Your Creator a sanctuary, clean,
sweet, wholesome, spiritual as well
rs physical, living life that YOU know
You should hive, putting high value
on the human frame in which You
make your home.
Bcaulify it with all the graces of
department, corutesy, kindness and
affection. Do not cheaper it with
vice, RIGHTEOUSNESS. greed. intemper-
arr", eordidnc,s, mbclicf and all the
train of sorrow and suffering that
follow in the path of sin.
Keep yourself worth all that you
can. Hold yourself in the worlds
market at the highest price
As the farmer seeks to win the
prizes with the best products of the
soil aud breeding stable, as the man
uiacturer strives for the finest work
Of the loom, the forge or the spindle,
rs the young housewife delights in
the most delicate embroidery and the
artist in the highest example of his
art, 50 let everyone, however humble,
seek the best for what he has to offer
and he will get the higher price.
There is a public market always
open for our varied talents. We need
20 to no pawnshop with them. We
need not cut prices. We need not
sell at II sacrifice. There is no bar
gain counter for soul and body. "The
life is more than meat and the body
more than raiment."
The young man who thinks that the
world owes him a living, that he must
have it regardless Of what he gives
in return, makes fatal mistake.
The young woman who believes
that n pretty face, graceful figure
with beauty madorned and the dis
play of many jewels, will win her
way is following the leadership OF
the blind. She will pay the price with
bitter repentance.
Avoid the primrose path of dali
ance. Take the beaten way, though ii
be straight and narrow, for the end is
peace.
The discoverer must sail over
many troubled seas. He must climb
the highest peaks and break his tor
tuous way through many jungle,
but if in the end he reaches the goal
he will be satisfied.
There is goal for you John A.
Sleicher in Leslie's.
