WHOSE JOB wnLIFINIsH.

No man ever really finishes his life
work. It is impossible for any Of US to
do q perfect Job, live as long as we
may and work though we may TO the
limit OF our strength, Always there
will be something left whe nthe sun
goes down and the call comes to quit.
Now, there is nothing about this that
ought to make use feel down In the
mouth, and think that life ID not worth
living For 1t Is always possible for
you and me to do a little something
toward finishing up some other mans
Job, as well as pushing our own just as
far as we can.
II may be father is the man whose
work we will take up and carry on
farther than he was able to press 1t
before he went away. He made the old
home Just as beautiful as he coud. He
cut the fallow In the back lot; his
hands logged the fallen trees and
burned them; he pulled the stumps
and built the barn and perhaps the
new house. He did good, honest work
and left the world better than he found
II. A good, earnest, true farmer was
your father and mine.
Now 1t is left for you and me to
press fathers task still farther toward
= Eerfect condition. We ought to be
better farmers than he was. Don't you
knew It? He left us with the old place
in good shape-we see the marks of
his fingers on everything we touch.
The fields are smoother for what he
did: the fences are better than when
he burned the stump fence and re-
paced it with rails or woven wire; the
buildings are more convenient; but
Ne, with our advantage, ought to make
all these things still better.
And If we do this, that is all that
will be expected Of us, That, as a
matter of fact, is our job. and upon
The way we do it will depend the sue
cess we make of our lives. Fathers |
job becomes our job. His dream, our
dream. His longing to do the very best |
possible, our higest aspiration. And !
if this is so. we sureyl viii be happy |
and reach the very best there is in
life for us. Let's go right ahead, then,
hopefully, courageously and like men.
That is all that will ever be asked OF
us.--E. l.. Vincent in Farm Life.

A THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH.

All the editors in the world are al
ways telling all the people In the
world what to do. II Is fortunate, per-
haps, that all the people do not al
ways do what all the editors tell them
But the editors should worry! Having
given the advice, their responsibility
ends. They 60 ahead, blithely, or bit
terly, as the editorial temperament
chances to trend, and give out more
advice. This particular editor is like
other brethren In the field. He is full
Of good admonitions, II not of good
deeds, and would like to emphasize a
thought 70 rthe month. He advises you
to be cheerful, to resist the prevailing
contagion Of captious criticism, and
to read the Sermon on the Mount, We
can't reform the world by barking at
1t. We can only make ourselves and
others bit uncomfortable. There is
Just as much practical wisdom in the
words of the Master, today, as when
he uttered them two thousand years
ago when he went I'D into mountain
and taught his disciples. When we get
mad at everybody, and smart with
sence Of the seeming injustices of the
world, If we get dow nthe good book
and read the fifth, sixth and seventh
chapters of Matthew, how our worries
and vexations fade away! - Farm
