Loyalty" says ADVANCE THOUGHTS, lis one Of
the human traits which contribute most of the unity
strength integrity, and growth, of any organization
Loyalty perhaps is entitled to be considered first
Loyalty is devotion to those leaders who originally
saw the vision, and have wrought out, in struggle,
sweat and work the primitive structure and still
ry the banners, and lead the march onward up the
sleeps eff accomplishment Loyalty. first, presup
poses devotion to ones God. Secondly, to those
men, and their ideals, whose works clearly reflect
the inspiration of the great Universal Creator Fur
ther the spirit of Loyalty is very closely allied to
that other spirit Service which must be the impulse
animatng the great mass of humanity in it's struggle
onward and upward.
Loyalty works both ways-and is equally ad.
mrable whether given by the inferior to the superior,
or vice versa. No is so great, or small
part of any industrial structure, that he can ignore
this mandate
Loyalty brings out, and presses deep in, the
tact of individual Importance in the work of the
world. He who carries the bricks is as vital
cessity in the erection of the building as he who
builds the walls.
The Spirit of Loyalty essential in the
ployer it is in the employee. 1t gives the inter-
weaving of justice and that mutual desire and
watchfulness for each other personal welfare
which results in mutual happiness and prosperity.
Loyalty gives Royalty to Service. Loyalty

An exchange remarks that: Some people find
it hard to understand that there is hardly anything
in III hiatt riu III
luck is mere chmera and, like the end of the rain
bow hard to fnd," and continues thus: No one
rides free the road happiness, and he who tries
to do always finds it has just eluded his grasp,
and he is left to profit sulk over his deluson.
Perhaps 1t would be too much to say that all
human sorrow misery could be traced to the habit
to get something for nothing, troubles and
sorrows have as many phases as humanity itself.
But if we consider this statement in the negative it
may not be so far from the truth for no is
so utterly miserable who is willing to pay the price
of happiness
The price that all sterling gifts demands, most
people would seemingly prefer to get by some make
shift pretense rather than to make honest eff
fort to secure. Just why that should be the is
not easy of solution; but the facts remains that We
cannot get out of the world than we are will
ing to put in it, We can nc more change the nat
ura law that governs all things than we can fool the
Almighty.
The worlds choicest gifts are rot hard to find
if we look about in the right way but you seek
diligently, and. having found, pay the price-in
other words, We will be rewarded in proportion to
our efforts. In that way man will come to the un-
Outstanding that he is compensated in proportion to
his worth. Having paid the price for the object of
his CHOICE the reward is as sure to follow as the
dawn of day.
A prominent business man has said that Never
was there machinery, social and political, for
doing all kind of work than at the present time
says writer in the UMPIRE. yet never were the
efforts of the individual needed for the accom-
plishment of great results. The very existence of
progressive methods and organizations constitutes
danger, though it is not reason for abandoning
modern machinery. For with the danger is develop
ing here and there, increased of RESPONSE
