you might as well get in step with
the soldiers so that you might be in
position to do something added
Mr.. Nulhohand. There are 2.400, 900
soldiers br:nful of pep who have or
soon will be coming over.
His subject was 1.-THE Path of Great
est Profit" or in other words "be
good for something" There is a cry
ing need for persons who are good
for something. The question is not
asked any more how much do you
have?" but the interrogative is "how
did you get it?" Here he outlined the
two great classes of people in this
world-those who lift and those who
leap. He quoted Ella Wheeler Wilcox
poem. 1.-TWO Kinds of People" It is
as follows:
No; the two kinds of people on earth
mean.
Are the people who lift and the people
who lean.
Wherever you so you will find the
worlds masses
Are always divided in Just these two
| classes.
And oddly enough.i you will find, too,

There is only one litter to twenty who
lean.
In which class are you? Are you cas-.
ing the load
OF ove srsss filters who toll on the
Or are you a leaner, who lets others
| bear
Your portion Of labor and worry and
care?
Mr.. Mulholland urged his audience

how the many who pass to rest and
leave nothing but mere dollars behind
are soon forgotten. Those who do
work worth while are those who have
done something TO tighten the bur-

smile is contagious, he added, and he
told of how on occasion he had adj

melancholy sight as he saw 1000
sober faces confronting him. but soon
one Of the prisoners smiled after the
speaker had done so and the smile
was CONTAGIOUS until every man in the
vast crowd was smiling. a different
audience then was before him
He dwelt at some length on people
ded eating themselves to the best
thing that is in them. Here he told
how the Toledo Rotary Club had done
uplift work in the poor section of that
city and how as result of their work
OF mercy So boys and girls are healthy
and walking about the streets of that
city today. Rotarians Clipped in $500

time the fund does not go lower than
$4,000. He graciously told OF how

work the Toledo Rotary Club has done
and he termed this travelling on the
pathway of greatest profit" You

the man in town who hammers every.
thing tine Chamber of Commerce and
the Rotary Club does and believes that

in every town who don't know how
