over.

view utterly different from that of
the military man. An infraction of
discipline which seems to one a trif-
ling matter appears to the other of
great importance and deserving of
severe punishment.
The soldier must learn to obey in
stinctively. He must subordinate his
own thoughts and wishes and person
ality to the word of command. An
army moves as a unit, and it cannot
do so unless every individual compos-
ing it is absolutely subject to dis
cipline.
If your son refuses to pare pota-
toes when you ask him, you can re-
primand him and refuse to serve him
with potatoes at dinner, and the mat
ter practically ends there. II your
employee will not pare potatoes at
your command you have only to dis
charge him and hire some one else
who will be more accommodating,
and the matter ends there.
But the soldiers refusal to pare
potatoes may be the little end of a
wedge whose large end is the sacrifice
Of the lives Of ten thousand men.

There is wide though sometimes
unconscious general recognition of
this responsibility. Many wealthy
people who do not need to work for
their own support show their realiza-
ton Of this principle by taking up
some work of value to the commun-
ity. They enter into public life or
devote themselves to some question
of education or general betterment
of conditions. II they do not take
this course they are reduced 10 the
most useless, profitless and weari-
some form of toil-that OF seeking
their own amusement and pleasure.
Wholesome satisfying employment
develops a mans faculties. keeps him
keen and ready for opportunity.
Put your heart into your work.
Enter into it every morning with
feelings Of interest in it and gratitude
for it, and you will know the blessing
Of labor.

THE BLESSING
OF LABOR.

Charles Kingsley once said, BE
thankful every morning of your life
that there is something you must do,
whether you like to do il or not.
Whether you are painting picture
or hammering iron, whether you are
keeping books or washing dishes and
sweeping floors, your work is the
thing which saves you from yourself.
While your hands and thoughts are
occupied you have no time for morbid
introspection. The clear duty before
you is to bend your energies to your
work and do it conscientiously and
well. II is only in this way that you
do your duty to the world.
Every person has an obligation be-
fore him. He must engage in some
thing useful to prove his right to live
in a busy universe. II he cannot
leave the world better than he found
it. he can at all events take his share
Of keeping the world in order while
he is here. The responsibility OF
labor is incumbent upon him.
