importance of Work.

A negative life Is Q wicked life Someone has said Tho angeleever ap peared to a man who was not at work" You cannot make man good py keeping him idle. T must be about my Fathers business." said Christ H. the temple. That Is the gospel of ev. cry man who is loyal to his own soul, Is the comment of the Ohio State Jounual. There Is no excuse for idle ness. Work, like virtue. religion. faith, Is from within. The impulse toward the right h what keeps man at work. and if he is not at work he lacks the impulse. His religion Is too weak to exert itself. A positive life is the only true life. Nor is mere altrufsm the only form of work. It is as much . mans duty to help himself as 1t is to help others. 90 that help Is upbuildipg. which is the very condition of ones being . benefit to others. A man who loves roses, sunsets. stars, creeks, trees, birds, Is a friend of humanity. Loving Gods beautiful world includes man. or 1t Is false love. Not to love these creations of goodness and grace denotes negative life that is positively wicked
