HALF A MIND

1.-THE soul of the sluggard
desireth and hath nothing: but
the soul of the diligent shall
be made fat" prov. l3:4).
One of the commonest of
modern expressions is, "Ihave
half a mind to do It," Not
much chance of the job being
done.
A man with a "half a mind"
never chopped a homestead out
of the forest. Never built
bridge across a gaping canyon.
Never produced an antitoxin for
a killing disease.
The man with the "half a
mind" is a sluggard--" "desireth
and hath nothing" He builds
many castles but they are all
in the air.
Idleness is the curse of body
and mind. 1t is the nurse of
wickedness and the mother of
crime. 1t is the chief cause of
melancholy, and is a destroyer
of acquired skills of the soul.
The desire of the slothful,
which should be his excitement,
is his torment. He desireth gain
but despiseth diligent work. His
breast becomes a castle ruled
by hate, covetousness, and self
pity.
A school teacher once said:
81 have only six more years
of teaching before retirement.
Then I'll start living" There
is something radically wrong
with such an attitude toward
life. The teacher had no heart
in his work. No doubt but he
was inefficient, slovenly in pre-
paration, and had ''half a mind"
to quit many times.
"Seest thou a man diligent
In his business7 he shall stand
before kings" prov. 22:2e).
Make up your mind and do
something. 1t is better to make
a mistake attempting something
than to make no mistake by
doing nothing.
Start the furrow and pillow it
through to the end. Begin the
course and finish 1t. Hold to
your course In spite of con-
trary winds and vicious opposi-
tion. Soon you will discover that
these very things work for you.
