no finer dessert than pawpaw eaten
with cream and sugar. It is used to

Pleasure in Well Doino.

Pleasure has way of coming indi.
rectly-where least you look for her
and when least you expect her. She
turks in the happiness of work well
done. She fingers in the consciousness
Of honest bookkeeping with life, and
she always is to be found in the Joy
Of growth and progress. In all these
ways honest pleasure is to be found.
This isn't meant to be dull preach
ment against anything but work. But
it does mean to say that happiness lies
in doing and the consciousness Of well
