NO EXCUSE FOR EARLY RISING
Man Who Gets Up at Dawn Is Stupid,
Is Assertion Made by Father
Dwight.

The arrogance Of the man who
arises to the minor heroism Of a cold
bath has been complained of by less
heroic folk who arise to a tepid or
warm one. To be set apart by the
ability to stand the shock of cold wa
ter has seemed to less vigorous folk
an unsubstantial claim to immortality.
1t lacks moral sufficiency and is too
much made Of by the cold bather.
Another arrogance is given consid-
Grafton by the Rev. Walter Dwight,
5. j., in America. 1t is the
Of early risers. Father Dwight denies
them heroism and enters into doubt
as to their intelligence. AS a rule he
hnds them a notably arrogant Set"
appearing to believe that they move
on a higher ethical plane"
Every normal human being, not
given ordinarily to early rising, but
being on occasion tempted or forced
into it, has felt the strange spiritual
af1atus, the moral patting on the back
IN consequence thereof. The feeling
that a good deed has been done for
a naughty world is inexplicable, but
supreme.
Father Dwight is remorseless. The
early riser is the least intelligent of
mankind.
