USES OF THRIFT

Are there no blessings for man in prosneritv bevond ~
material joys of easier living? M
Shouldn't prosperity mean more than the thought "wiu #
last" than an opportunity for extravaganza and dissinaton
than a respite from worldly care?
prosperity meaas more money, of course, more comforts
more pleasures, more freedom from worries. more low in LIVING
IN INDUSTRIOUS are working their way forward and upward
IN thrifty are laying aside a competence. Hundreds of +bors
ands of homes are being built. 1t is a time rich with hone .nd
achievement.
But what does all this really mean to us?
merely more money, more comforts, more pleasures?
Adversely develops great differences in men. Prosperity
develops greater differences still.
Many are glad to seize the fruits that fall from the cornu-
copla and eat, drink and be merry.
Many others store them securely away where they are oil
no use to themselves or anyone else.
And others carefully use them as means to develop their
own minds, to broaden and sweeten their sympathies. to edu-
cate their children, to lend a helping hand to the weak. to
soothe the sorrowing, to make the home wholesomer and hap
pier, to build schools and hospitals and churches, to grasp not
the joys that must perish with themselves but to create those
ieaven1ng human forces that shall endure forever.
Wealth itself never advanced humanity a single step. Pros
perity that is wholly material can never truly benefit any
people. 1t is enriched soil in which the real treasures of life
may be better grown.
