tons that he was satisfied no man
could get from the mere profits of

rockefeller 1T is more of a dis
grace to he sick than to be in jail
SAID he. When one is put in Jail it

laws are perfect
All of Us in Debt.
Some people boast that they are out
OF debt They do not owe any man a
cent, they proclaim This is rot.
everyone Of US was in debt to the hu-
man family q million dollars before
ne was born and not one of US Will
ever be able to discharge the obHga-
ton, however long his life span. Some
people think the world owes them a
living Don't you believe it. The
world doesn't owe ANYBODY ANYTHING.
We are all liabilities on the human
family. Even our first suits of cloth
Ing were obtained on credit
Some people think they have done
their ltfe's work while they are still
young and they retire. They say they
are through and nature takes them at
their word every time The man who
says he is going to quit work and do
nothing for the rest of his life is
marked for an early close of his earth
~ career. Nature doesn't suffer any
dead timber to he lying about very
long. When the Lord wants a man to
retire He viii serve notice in due form
and at the proper time. The speaker
said he expected to keep on working
as long as he was able. Death will
have to catch me on the rum" he
added.
Here" and now" are two of the
most potent words in the language
Here is the place and now is the time
to start our service to others and to
make heaven on earth. If everybody
would undertake this reform tomOr-
row morning before night it would be
accomplished over the whole world.
We need a heaven on earth. for it's
going to be trying change for some
of us when we go to the heaven that
is beyond, unless we begin fitting our
selves for it now
Il want the kind words and acts
that others mean for me now and
while l am alive" said DR.. King. Il
don't want other people to wait till l
am lying here cold and stiff and then
come and shove a gates ajar up at
me and say, Here, take a SMELL"
All Need Work.
Work is what we need to make this
earth a paradise. There is lots of it
TO be done. No man need be out of
employment for three days. Put your
goods in the window when you want
10 sell them. Some men say they can't
get work It's their own fault Start

is to be done. If you see a lawn
mower, shake hands with it. If there
is a carpet on the line, beat it. Do
your work better than it ever has been
done before and you will make your
self indispensable. If the man who
first employed you will not keep you
his neighbor Will be waiting for you.
Go into partnership with the person
or firm for which you work Don't
say the" store, the" shop, but say
our store, our shop. And think
There is not much real thinking done
in this world. Find your work and get
at it There is joy in working and one
must love his work.
Slavery Still Exists.
We thought that we had abolished
slavery in this country some years ago,
but we didn't The lowest form of
slavery is that of the man or woman
who goes reluctantly to work in the
morning, does as little as possible dur

watching the clock
Dream on and make your dreams
come true. Smile, hope, see the good
and the beautiful in life. Look up and
not down.

He kept his hearers in continuous
laughter.
