ProcrastinatiOn.

It is admitted that procrastin-
 ation is the thief of time. If so,
 it would seem to be fatal to suc-
 cess. Observation and reading
 and reflection indicate that only
 two things are requisite to some
 measure of success, and they are
 promptness in dispatching busi-
 ness, or the absence of procras-
 tinatiOn and the desire to do right; so that requirements for success are simple. The absence of procrastination means some degree of courage and faith in oneself, and the desire to do right reinforces this courage and faith.
 Procrastination is a fear of not doing the work right-a lack of faith in ones's own equipment for the part; and hence the bet ter equipped one is for the work, and feels himself to be, the less temptation there is for procras- tination. Among the benefits from keeping up with, or a little ahead of ones work, is the absence of a feeling of hur- ry, and one feels more poise and has a clearer vision; and when one is once somewhat ahead of his work, the daily task there after is no greater in amount than when he was constantly behind, and all the time his eff ectiveness is increased by that ceiling of confidence and content ment with himself brought a. bout by the knowledge that he has been able to do his work and do it on time, and that he has a surplus of time left.
 And the highest authority says that the world fights for the righteous, who are those who desire to do right, the gentle; and in another place the same authority says the gentle shall the earth, and we see this prophecy being fulfilled, as inhabitants of the earth, those who inherit it are gentler from age to age; and of necessity this prophecy must be fulfilled in it's completeness, because the un- gentle eat each other up or wear each other out by mutual friction. Memphis Ws-Scim- itar.
