Few Persons Get Full
ADVANTAGE of Reading

That there are several million per
sons in the United States beyond the
age of childhood who are illiterate,
cOntradicts the statement put by
Shakespeare in the mouth of Dog
berry, that ito read and write comes
by nature" There are other millions,
nominally literate, who yet read so
little and with such pain, that to them
books are as an instrument upon
which they have not learned to play

versity of Chicago, emphasized this

art, but reading to ones own mind
is also an art, which can be devel-
oped, as other arts, by incessant
practice. If he were to give as much
attention to the cultivation of this

A Sermon for Today
Why Some Never Succeed.
By REV. JOHN r. GUM.

"Yet a little sleep, little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to sleep:
so shall thy poverty come as one that
travelleth, and they want as an armed
man."-Prov., Who'll.
Whenever I read this text think OF
the little boy whose father called out
to him from the foot of the stairs one
morning and told him that breakfast
was about ready, and that he would
be expected down in five minutes. the
five minutes passed and as many more,
but the boy had not been heard from:
The father went up to his room and
called him again.
MY son." he said impatiently, will
you never get up? How often have I
told you that the early bird catches
the Worm!"
The boy reused up, and, as his father
walked back down the stairs, he heard
him saying to himself, Let the early
bird have the fool worm If it wants
it; I don't want any worms nohow."
"Yet little sleep, a little slumber,
little more folding Of the hands to
sleep'-thus MANY spend their time
will bring them success. Such people
never succeed, and the reason why Is
plain enough. Success is not some
thing that comes to you; it Is some
thing you have to 60 after.
We have & GSox. many sayings in our
language that are misleading. One
of them is the old saying, "All things
come to him who waits" They come,
but they come to the other fellow.
There are too many waiting for things
to come. to them; too many waiting for
crowns % be placed upon their brows,
when they have never shown them
selves worthy of a crown. Those who
wait for all things to come to them,
will find, after a while, all things going
from them.
We talk about men making "lucky
hits" But a mere lucky hit does not
entitle one to be called successful
man. Real success is something at
tanned, not something that happens to
one accidentally. One may come into
possession of wealth or some high sta
ton by accident of fortune; but that,
instead of bringing success, may be
the worst thing that could happen tG
him. Unless he has previously proved
himself by his own eXertion and effort,
the chances are that it will result in
