1t is interesting to study the life
and character of a great man. They
are great because they have submit
ted to servitude. There are persons
whose lives are full lof service; while
others are working for their own
permanent personal interests. In the
end the self sacrificing man profits
once said, "Chirst came not be min
most.
The greatest helper of humanity
istered to but to minister unto. !"
Should this not be our purpose IN
life since it was the purpose of so
great a man? Could we choose a
better example to pattern ourselves
after? And again when Christ's apos-

BAND CONCERT AND
VAUDEVILLE PLEASE

A splendid concert of over half ar
hour was put on at the Rylandel
theater last night by the Royal Scotch
Highlanders band, of ST. Petersburg
Fla, following which a vaudeville bill
of six numbers, accompanied by an
orchestra recruited from the band
members, was staged.
The band, which has appeared here
in concert before, is probably the
equal of any of its size in existence
being composed of only II men, in

classical and popular music with equal
versatility, and delivered power and

BY MISS RUBY HARRIS.

The truth of this statement is so
obvious that we are made to wonder
if any one would even attempt to
contradict it. If there are such peo-
pie, we may safely assume that their
opinions were formed not from any
true sentiment or firm conviction,
but because of an utter lack of the
unselfishness which is the keynote
of this motto and the chief charac-
teristic of each person who has adopt
ed it. Service often means sacri-
flee, and naturally those who do not
care to set self aside, would, in a
vain effort to justify their unworthi-
ness criticise their superior fellow
men who take the broader view of
this motto. These same people
would probably deny that it is more
blessed to give than receive; that
honesty is the best policy, and that
virtue is more to be sought after
than gold or silver. The principle
involved in all these maxims is the
same.
A great minister has said that self
justification is the result of the
wrong kind of determination. 1t
must be remembered that although
we may succeed in deceiving our
selves, we cannot deceive God. 1t is
quite possible for ones conscience to
be trained, so that it may never
cause acute pain. But because God
is justice, we know that in the record
book of the ages our faults will not

I vironments always possesses a love
for his fellowman and always makes
the sacrifice of self for his fellow
man. Love is the best of all traits
and those whom you love are willing
to serve.
Who then are our masters of
art, business, music, literature, medi-
cine, law, science, and of all great
lines of human endeavor? The ans
wer is, those who have served faith
fully through the long, dark hours,
toward the goal they have set out for.
Those who would rank among the
leaders must win their leadership
through wise, humble, sincere serv-
ice.

'e moderated, nor our virtues mag

be moderated, nor our virtues mag
nified.
Surely the author of the words ur.-
der discussion had in mind something
more than ordinary service. A kind
deed, or word, to be worthy of
II is the willingness that counts; not
the size. Frequently more strength
of character is needed to perform the
small service than the large ones
which must surely bring applause
from the world. he who serves I'M
tiringly and silently, wins the approx
al of God and of his own conscience
as well. And after all, those are
the two main factors of happiness.
Therein lies the profit-the sense of
calm, and of duty well done,w hich
comes from within. DR.. Frank
Crane says, "The great soul has its
resources within itself the small soul
looks to outside things and other peo-
pie"
Only when the masses of the world
have adopted this motto of the Ro-
tarians, and have tried, as they are
trying, to live up to it, carrying out
in every day life its principle of UNI
selfish service, only then can the
world be said to really be safe for
Democracy "He who would be great
est among you, let him be servant Of
all"
