aay.
Not the saint and the sinner, for tits
well understood
The good are nalf bad, and the bad
ale half good;
Not the rich and the poor, for the
count of mans wealth
You must first know tne state of his
conscience and health;
:<ot the humble and proud, for in
life's little span
Who puts on vain airs is not counted
man;
Not the happy and the sad, for the
swift-fying years
Bring each man his laughter and each
man mis- tears.
No. the two kinds of people on earth
that mean
Are the people who lift and the people
who lean.
Where'er you go you will find the
worlds masses
Are always divided into just these two
classes;
And oddly enough, you find, too, I
mean,
There is only one litter to twenty who
lean.
In which class are you? Are you
easing the load
Of overta1ed lifters who toll down
the road?
Or, are you a leaner, who lets others
bear
care?
And that reminds me to remark fur
ther that l belong to that class where
There is only one litter to twenty
whn lean -
l am and have always been a litter
and expect to continue in tnat role to
the end. 1 want you to come along
and join my band and let us all lift
together and the lifting will be- 50
much the easier for me and for you.
And you can never realize and appre-
ciate the good that will come to you
by being a member Of the litter band
until you really do some lifting. Yoa
know that you can't pull yourself very
high by lifting at your own boot
straps, but if you take hold OF che
otner fellows boot straps you may be
able to lift him ever 80 high. Really,
there is no telling how much we might
lift this town 4 we w2u:d all take hole
of each others boot straps, and not
b. palling SC hard o. our own.
heard there were those in the COM
munity who are now very much inter-
ested in the laymen's movement and
that this county of NeWberry is to be
organized and a great big meeting Is.
to be held at Newberry sometime soon,
and great big speeches are-to be made.
That's all riShy il a way. l believe IN
these meetings and in getting up the
enthusiasm, but like to see some OF
the enthusiasm spent in the way OF
helping the other fellow, not only by
wise counsel, but by that which takes
hold of his boot straps and helps to
lift hi mup oLt OF the mlre. And
helps him to stand alone and to walk.
Talk and conventions won't ac-
complisn this by themselves. 1t is all
right to have them but they must be
followed up by that class which be-
longs TO the lifters.
By George see that the house has
passed the bill allowing them there
60 pints of beer a month. but it is not
to have but five per cent. of alcohol.
I really have been much amused at
the action of the present legislature in
some matters that they have discuss
ed. and undertook to deal with, but
it is all right, l reckon, or it wouldn't
be.
