DOING.

When you have a thing to do, you
will do it right in proportion to your
love of right. But do the right, and
you will love the right; for by doing
it you will see it in a measure as it is,
and no one can see the truth as 1t is
without loving 1t. The more you talk
about what is right. or even about the
doing of 1t, the more you are in danger
of exemplifying how loosely theory
may be allied to practice. Talk with
out action saps the very will Some
thing you have to do is waiting IN
done all the time, and getting more
and more undone. The only refuge lie
to do.-George Macdonald.

Think Of all the poverty-stricken
foreigners who come here with the
huge handicap of ignorance of the
language, and of almost everything
else, to make money, and do. OF
course, as long as people are miser-
ably poor they spend very little, but
that is not the reason they thrive.
The reason they succeed is mainly
that they expect TO succeed and ac-
cordlngly do succeed.
