TAKING RIGHT VIEW OF WORK
Man Makes Serious Mistake In Becom
ing Despondent and Thinking Of
Himself as a Slave.


In commenting on a recent Once
over concerning the blessing It should
be to be able to work and to have
work to do, man writes as follows:

But, in this era of maladjusted econ.
omic conditions, the workers lifo, with
its slave status, leaves much to be
desired. Am rlght?"
From one viewpoint, yes; from an.
other. no.
The working conditions OF laborers
might be more ideal, tbs true, but you

Are they not improving each year?
Are not working hours becoming
shorter and pay larger for those who
make the necessary effort to perfect
themselves along their certain line?
II q man is unwilling to give the
time, study and effort to make himself
more valuable to his employer, should
he hope to have his wages advanced? +?
The workaday world is far removed
from slavery.
When a man begins to think OF him
self as a slave he is bringing about
condition within himself which has
tendency to place his efforts on the
plane Of those OF slave.
