Loyalty.
Life is a bridge over the gulf Of
eternity. on it stands many classes
of human beings all eagerly pressing
forward.
On one side are the rulers, the
great men of earth proud of their
wisdom, of their wealth, and of their
birth; on the other the great mass
Of the people of whom it may we'll be
written
He who is loyal is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth"
When God drove man out of Para
disc He said, "In the sweat of thv
brow thou shalt eat thy bread" These
words are often interpreted as II God
had sent labor to mankind as curse,
however this is quite wrong: labor
should not be a curse but blessing,
consolation outside the gates Of
Paradise. The serious-minded will
corroborate the statement of Carlyle:
II slept and dreamed that life was
pleasure. I woke and found that life
was duty. / worked and found that
duty was pleasure" Work is pleasure,
and success brings joy. The material
benefit alone brings triumph. Every
new success swells our breast with
satisfaction, every victory over OBJ
stables, makes our heart beat faster
with pride.
The law of service is the connect
ing INK which binds us to God and
our '~'ow-men. True education or de-
veic, ent of our physical, mental
and moral powers fits us for this SER
vice. To be educated then, is to be
of the highest use to others for no
man is Independent of his felIow-men,
every one is uncorsciously affected by
the attitude of others.
Loyalty is the great hinge to sue
cess and good motto is BE true
to your business. true to your en-
ployers. true to your house." This is
quality woven in the very fabric of
humanity, the key to every treasure
whilst disloyalty locks the door. A
man who is loyal will never give up
the ship; if the ship sinks, he goes
down with it, as hero.
Brains and ability are potent fac.
tors in a mans success, but without
the frmest and most thoroughly
grounded principles of honest loyalty
they are factors which will lead to
destruction. We trust our lives to

Christ. Pagan Rome STEPPED in vice

light of christianity. Paganism made

were prosecuted and much blood shed
for the faith Of Christ; man was
raised to higher plane, he had some
thing to look forward to, that is an
eternal reward: slavery was abolished
and education set on a grander basis.

the saying, "They are able because
