The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1915-07-29


is to my mind most striking. l think
it was clipped from the Baltimore
Sun, and it is a whole sermon, in a
way, unto itself. 1t is called Stick
ling to IT.
Sticking to it-that's the thing
Turns the toiler to the king,
Makes the slave master strong
In the thunder of the throng,
In the moving ranks OF time
Where the minstrel mornings chime.
Sticking to it-that's the way
Men are more than dust and clay,
Strong in purpose, true in might
To the spirit of the day
Ringing with the tune Of right,
| Lovely with the lyric lay.
Sticking to it-that's the rule
Helps the winner in this school
Hard with lessons of the strife,
Sown with shadows all through life,
Big with meaning, bright with sun
Sticking to it till we're done.
Stick to it. That's the idea. Stick
ing to it is something very Jew Of us
do. We start something, but often
times somebody else has to finish it.
| do not mean it as reflection upon
them, but nearly all Of our great in
tventors failed to complete their
tasks. But, in their case, it was not
a lack of ambition or enthusiasm.
Applied to the ordinary tasks OF life,
it means that when we start a job,
we should stick to it until it is finish
ed. Most of us have an ambition to
accomplish something in this world.
We should never lose sight Of that
goal. And if our task seems hard, we
should go at it with an increased
vim, for things that cost no effort
are not worth while. There is lot
of pleasure in doing your work, if
you look at it in the right way. All
work is a pleasure-that is there is
the possibility Of its being made a
pleasure; but, unfortunately, most OF
US view work with disdain, as drudg'
cry.
I see that in Walterboro there is a
big building boom on, despite the
cry of hard times" The old saying
is prepare for war in the time OF
peace. We might change this around
and make it read, prepare for busi-
ness in the time of dullness. This
appears to be what is going on over
in Walterboro, and it is a pretty good
thing too. Our merchants and busi-
ness men have not been over bur
dened with work now for some time;
so why not utilize the spare time in
preparing for the good business we
are promised in the near future?
There are just a lot of things we
can do all the time. Fact is / don
think one ever has any time to
waste. When there is no real busl-
ness going on, the time should be
used in getting ready for the busl-
ness you expect to come after While
If our merchants-I don't mean just
the merchants of Bamberg, but all
merchants-utilized their spare time
in keeping their stores neat and at
tractive, what lustrous, shining
place our stores would be!
believe Bamberg is about the
best town in the State. What dc
YOU think about it? Don't think so?
Well, the town is unfortunate, if II
has many residents who think this is
not a fine place. If there are things
about the town that you don't like
and no town is perfect-instead o!
giving vent to your feelings about
things in general, why not talk
where the talking may be beneficial
and try to remedy these conditions
Now there are many-yes, many
improvements I would like to see IN
Bamberg, and if 1 live here long
enough, expect to see them. And
do you know, small atom of an in
dividual that l am, when these i'm
provements are made, I am going tc
feel very proud of the fact that | con-
tributed what l could in the way o1
announcement toward the cause
Don't mean to say that my encour'
agement is worth anything-proba
bly, not-but ! gave all could. Have
you?
