What Do You Owe
TO Your Community

Friend, stop and think what
you owe to your community. But
FIRST stop and think what your
community has done for you.
How many men In your COM
uunity have accumulated what
they have outside of that COM
nuuity2 Very few, You will
admit.
Now, how was II possible for
you to accumulate property Was
it purely by your own exertions,
or did not business conditions
contribute largely to the result9
If you are 4 farmer, and were
your farm a hundred miles from
civilization, what would it profit
you? How much wealth could
you amass?
No, friend, your holdings are
not solely the result of your own
energy. The entire population
IF your community has contri-
outed to your upbuilding.
What though you are the most
capable lawyer or doctor, If you
ire located in a spaEsely settled
country where there is little
demand for your services, what
does your capability profit you?
What of the expert builder If
there are no houses to build?
What of the engineers, If the
nearest approach to q locomotive
we're the old ox-wagou of our
grandfathers2
So you see that wealth is very
largely a matter of environment.
Without a populous community
all men are at a disadvantage in
its accumulation, and as the COM
munity grows in population the
opportunities for accommodating
wealth increases.
This by way of reminding you
that however ''self-made" you
may boast yourself, you are in
reality "commuuity-made," and
you owe a debt to. your commun-
tty. And the size of that debt is
ia exact proportion 10 the amount
If your holdings in the COM
munity.
Now if you-ow this debt-and
we do not think you will dispute
it-isn't it up to you to discharge
it when called upon to do so?
How many times has your COM
nunity called upon you in vain
when plans for its betterment
we're being made? A road was
to build for which funds were not
available. Did you contribute?
A school house was to be'repaired
and the grounds beautified. How
much did you help? Your church
vas old and out Of date, and the
membership wanted to rebuild.
Did you chip in?
In short, you are paying your
debt to the world and to your
community in the only logical
Way-assisting to the extent of
your ability to make it a better
community for your children and
your children's children to live
in?
Now you will admit that you
1--WE to your parents a debt You
can never repay-to them. The
only way you can possibly pay is
to pass it on to another genera
ton. That is natures eternal
plan.
Just so you can pass on to the
community of the future what
the community of the past has
done for you.
Will you pay the debt?
1t makes not a bit of difference
who you are or what you are,
this town has done more for you
than you have done for it. You
may be rich, or you may be poor,
Or just in moderate circumstances,
but in either case your home town
has done much for you that you
have never recognized or repaid.
This statement is worthy of
serious consideration BY every
citizen Who believes in irving a
