A SACRED REQUIREMENT OF NATURE

ONE OF the potent factors in dividing into
classes is their viewpoint of work
One man looks upon labor somewhat as he
would upon a penal sentences from a court his
idea OF labor is that only the poor are to perform
ii, that he work that others might rest his
one slothful dream OF wealth is TO give him free
dom from work, his idea OF dollar hunting has the
one incentve-that he might be able to rest He
believes that ii wealth to come to him his
first OF it would be to quit work. This class
OF people retire from all activities as soon as they
and often they allow themselves to be retired
by age when they have only reached the youth of
old age.
The direct opposite of this class are the men
who in love with their work. They have a
goal they are seeking to reach That goal may
be the paying out OF a farm the building of
sky scraper the giving OF college training to
children. 1t matters what the goal is it is
source of inspiration at evening and it, sends them
cheerfully about their task each morning Work is
mans greatest solace work Is halo distinguishing
the willing worker from the man who looks upon
labor a form of slavery.
There are as many goals to be reached through
labor as there are men. Every man owes it to
himself to strive for supremacy He may seek
supremacy in apple raising, in oil production, in
sheep raising, in surgery, in law, in branch
OF the ministry, it matters not in what legitimate
better than any other contemporary is doing it.
A minister may realize that he can't go to the
top in pulpit oratory but there dozen phases
OF the ministry and in OF them he excel
One farmer may know that in ownership OF
age he cannot go to the top but in plant breeding
he can.
While hale hearty slothful man laziy
dreams of the hour when he can quit work the
invalid who has been forced to sit score Of years
yearns for the sweet privilege OF doing days
labor, although that day may be with pick and
shovel it would come as "A holy b<nediction close
life OF inyadism
six days shalt thou labor was not a sentence OF
seryitude. 1t is expression OF mans greatest
liberty OF his most vital opportunity-that OF labor
To be able to work is OF mankind" s"many rich
blessings. In counting the many things
to gratitude the privilege OF labor stands
the top To work is one OF natures most sac
red requirements. A cessation from labor destroys
usefulness and when usefulness is gone happiness
goes with it.
Recount the you know intimately who have
risen above their fellows. You will remember
awkward youth that provoked laughter and gave
little promise but in maturity you see this same
youth has exceled others. Back OF his every
achievement is constant labor in direct line He
did not scatter his fire. He did not try TO know
everything but he srove to master thing Sue
cess does not come gift. it is born of arduous
labor Success is not thing to be limited to
few. there is enough for generous distribution
among all and work marks the road that leads
to its fountain head.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY 5. W. Straus. President American
Society for Thrift.

Carlyle said, He that can work is
a born king Of something"
We have witnessed many unfortun-
ate instances of men who sought to
build colossal fortunes without work
ing for them. Ii seems TO be one OF
the laws of life that whatever is
worth attaining must be gained
through the medium of hard work
And it is the element of thrift that
coins our hard labor into terms of
success. For hard work in itself is of
no avail unless we save the profits of
our labors.
To work hard throughout the year
and have nothing to show for it. is.
to say the least not encouraging, and
of course if continued can lead only
to failure. The young man who stands
on the threshold of life with the usual
ambitions of youth must realize that
if he is to attain substantial success.
he must have not only the qualities
of intelligence and integrity, but he
must be prepared to work hard and
save. His savings at first may be
small and their comparative insignif-
icance may bring him periods of dis
couragement. But he may rest assur-
ed that if he is working in a con
scientious manner, giving his best to
his job or his business. and is putting
something by each week or each
month, his chances for success are of
the very best.
One cannot lay too much emphasis
upon the value of work and savings.
The two must go hand in hand. Not
only do they add to ones store of
material resources, but they have Il
soldifying effect on the character.
Thrift is discipline, self imposed 1t
is the discipline of the soldier in the
army. 1t is the sacrifice of immediate
pleasure or convenience for the future
upbuilding and gain. 1t is the trl-
butte which Today pays TO Tomrrow.
In these early days of the school
year when the problems of the proper
training of the young occupy much,
thought, particularly in the minds of
parents. it is well to bear in mind
these facts.
Teach the thrift of hard work and
saving. 1t is one of the surest means
of personal success.

The Community Sing
A FRAGMENT
Mrs. Walter Hardy

Five thousand people were in at
tendance at the Community Sing at
Central Park. That did not include
the invisible throng which lowered
near. invoked by the old time melQ-
dies
Youth at the threshold eagerly push
ing open the portal sang with all the
gusto of their age, but there were
others, those half way up the hill who
sang the songs of their youth, and
the world of today fell from about
them and there enveloped them the
mantle of the past when youth was
theirs with its joys, its hopes, its
tragedies and its pains. SO there We're
tears in their voices as they sang.
but there were smiles on their lips
and love in their hearts and swift,
was their flight back through the
years.
MY Old Kentucky Home"
silver Threads Among the Cold
What do they not conjure? The old
firesde-the circle there, young and
old grey haired mothers mellow
voice. And outside the river flowing
quietly out to sea with the scent
of the water lily in the nostrils.
''Juanita. Juanita, Let Me Linger
by Thy Side"
The same old love ditty sung under
pallid moon and filling the air with
its tender passion. Today and yes
terday where the difference? Yester-
day it was hoop skirts-today ii is
narrow ones. How short the bridge
which spans when fragment of n
song can wrestle from out the ages
al that it holds.
Dixie. the anthem of the southland
want to hear it always at these
sings. We have with US still a few
veterans in grey, but they come back
to us in phantom shape thousands
strong, their muskets on their shoul-
Gr,s. marching in column formation
ard we see them through brimming
eyes but we laugh gaily and We sing.
Den ! wish ! was in Dixie, Hoo
ray Hooray"
And so it was in the City Park
that night where the phantom forms
OF that mighty throng that crowd ou,
nertories ana haunt our dreams.
