DUTY.
Copyright. 1915, by DR.. Frank crans.)

The very best kind of man and the
who does what he ought to do.
There is but one cowardice. 1t Is not
doing ones duty. There is but one
failure, the failure to discharge an
obligation. There Is but one sin, not
doing what we ought.
The biggest word in the language is
ought The man who keeps it bright
within him, always visible and always
revered, is a real man.
There is so much of the superfiuous
| among us, SO much glory in affairs that
are none of our business, so much sue
cess that is essential treachery. and so
much goodness that is but interesting
meanness.
1t is better to keep your word than
to speak pleasantly.
1t is better to tell the truth than to
lie entertainingly.
It is better to be loyal than to be af-
fectionate.
1t is better for you. If you are an
employer to give your workers fair
wages, and little more. to treat them
with consideration, and to recognize
them as human beings than to wiring
money from IneH1 10 give " CtldIity-
1t is better to be honest toward wom-
en- than attractive.
1t is better for woman to deceive no
man than to win one.
It Is better to pay your debts than
to give to the poor.
1t is better to earn your living and
take yourself off other peoples backs
than to be saint or genius.
1t is better to have a little efficiency
than a lot of knowledge.
{. hntf TOR RI than

One earned dollar is worth more to
YOU than a thousand given you.
There are" said Elizabeth Inchbald,
persons who love to do everything
good but that which their immediate
duty requires. There are servants that
will serve every one more cheerfully
than their own masters; there are men
who will distribute money literally to
| all except their creditors, and there are
wives who will love all mankind bet
| ter than their husbands. We have acts
of generosity. self-denial and honesty
where smaller pains would constitute
greater virtues"
| Duty is the egg of all goodness.
| 1t is the primordial protoplasm from
which all organized excellences de-
| velop
without it religion is hypocrisy, love
is poison, activity useless. kindness
cruelty and every good quality as a red
apple full of wormy meat.
