Speaker Inspires
Right Living in
Talk Before Club

nrIay afternoon, showed with his
logical address why low living does
not pay in the end, and that some
day '.the high cost OF low living"
must be paid for Mr.. Smith, who
Is rapidly gaining a name for him
self with his platform sermon-lec-
lures. introduced clever wit from
time 10 time In illustrating his
points and still brought out the
truths in q way seldom equaled.
Discussing his subject from four
standpoints-the high cost of low
physical, intellectual, moral and
spiritual living-the speaker said
in part: We look upon good health
as good religion: but the trouble
is, we don't expose ourselves to
health, for 1t is contagious Here
are three things TO get-plenty or
air, plenty OF sunshine and plenty
of sleep. 1t has been proven that
the man who works at night is less
efficient than one who works in the
daytime. Pain is friendly-the best
friend a man has. Every ache
warns that there is bridge out.
and you will have to come back and
pay the high cost Of low physical
living If you keep going on in the
same direction
I'D like TO send you out to dis
cover your own town, TO see what
bargains are offered right here at
home" said the speaker on speak
ing on his second point. But the
best bargain a man ever made was
when he became an American
school boy. His second. the invest
ment in a college education. The
worst bargain n parent ever made
for his child was when he allowed
him TO give up college and take
job. Your bargains are in your Ii
braries. schools, magazines and
book stores Wealth is not money.
but the thing which you put in
your head or heart that does not
rattle. 1t is the power to enjoy
life.
Some people can raise the aver
age OF community by leaving ii.
Everybody is an asset or a liability.
and you get out OF life, your town
or your club exactly what you put
into it. And every community has
to pay the high cost of the low
moral living OF everyone in the
nc Lillic mas COIDe
when school boards should scru-
tinize the applicants for teachers
positions as they have never done
before. And l personally do not
feel that the home has yet appre-
ctated the cooperation available in
the school teacher in the public
school" In speaking OF schools
and the general conduct of the
young people OF this age. Mr..
- Smith said: 1.-THE time has come
fNwhen mothers must put a stop 10
EOthe epidemic of immodesty which
= mas swept the country, or the whole
country will have 10 pay. Some
day America is going to pay FOR its
low moral living"
Speaking from the spiritual stand
point Mr.. Smith brought out the
point that man ought to be happy
IN his religion. which ne defined
as The establishment of right re-
lanonship between man and his
God"
