appeal 10 his sense Of du;y. but you
can't make the sort of appeal 10 him
that he gains from his own reflections
after he owns home.
He buys lot and quito often borrows
money 10 build n homo. His hopes are
ccntered in the enterprise and he works
for 1t and il becomes his own particular
interest in his general allotment on
Gods rnotstool
"Whrn he finally achieves his ohj"c-
tive and owns his home. he realizes il is
his and that he is protected in his own
rrship by his government: that under
the laws. he is given tho right TO trans
fer what he has earned to the next gen.
ration and realizes that this generation
too will bc protected.
He gets a real object lesson of tho
relation that exists between the govern
mcnt and the individual
