A correspondent asks What To Do.
by Dir. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1919. By Frank Crane,

A correspondent asks What To Do.
The answer is, Go To Work.
That is the only safe answer to so general
a question.
There is no form Of human activity nobler
nor more necessary than that of providing
food, clothing, shelter, and transportation
for the race.
As Carlyle says, Product In Gods
name, producev'
The man who can be most certain that
he is doing the will of the universe, helping
some and hurting none, is the Business
Man, which term includes all who labor with
hand or brain to supply themselves and
their fellows with the needs and wholesome
enjoyments of life.
Such man is the only one who is sure
that he is not making mischief.
The writer, the poet, the artist, the
preacher, the reformer the politician do
not know. 1t may turn out they are doing
more harm than good. Subsequent ages of
wisdom may regard their efforts as him
ORANGES to progress. They may simply
have been in the road.
But whoever raises potatoes or wheat, or
grinds flour, or bakes bread, or makes coats,
or as a merchant brings these goods to
the people he only is undoubtedly moral
And whose teaches children how to con-
troll themselves and to cooperate with 9TH
ers for the Common Good, and to Work
in fidelity and to keep themselves off other
peoples backs, the same shall be called
greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
My correspondent feels surgings. She
wants to devote her life to doing good"
or else to write about it. She feels that
business would be a bit soiling, such as
pounding the typewriter, teaching school,
cooking, raising children, or selling ribbons.
Dear young lady, you're wrong. Doing
good" reforming the world and redeeming
men from the error of their ways, and all
that, is an overcrowded business.
If all the advisers of the race, including
me, were to take vacation and go to hoe
ing corn, the world would still stumble
along. Men and women would still marry
and have pretty babies, and honest folk
prosper and rogues come to grief, and

blackberries ripen, and mankind generally
go on making mistakes and getting over
them and becoming wiser, sounder, sweeter,
and decenter, until the millennium.
Go to work! Produce! So only you are
surest you are not to become a nuisance
God works. my Father worketh hitherto,
and | work" He gave only Ten Command
ments many centuries ago. But He works
all the time, raising bees, growing grass
for the cattle, carrying rain to parched
fields, reddening apples and girls cheeks,
pushing rivers along and by His chemistry
turning all effete things again into whole
some life-makers. :
Go thou and do likewise!
The only sensible advice to any young
person is: do something for which the
world is willing to pay you money. Take
nothing you do not earn. Save of your
surplus to take care of yourself when you
are unable to work more. And be cheer
full"
All else is vanity and vexation of spirit
