WE MUST WORK.

Many man whom you see acting
foolishly knows better. Every loafer
knows that he should work. Every
liar knows that he should work.
Every liar knows that he should tell
the truth Every thief knows that
It Is written Thou shall not steal.'
After all we do not suffer for lack
Of knowing, but from lack of doing.
II the race would rise 10 the point
where 1t can demand the respect of
other races It must do the things
which win that respect Today the
platforms are filled with idle adj
visers, seeking to lay upon the shoul-
ders OF others, burdens which they
would not touch with their fingers.
In the Bible Is written: Six days
shall thou labor and do all thy work.
1T Is labor over nature
