OUK DEBT TO HUMANITY.
How much wo owe twin kind!
Every hero that dl<#l for liberty died
for you and me.
Every martyr who nave hla life to
keep the faith wan n sacrifice for us.
Every scientist who devoted Ids
yearn to patient In added to
our llirht
Every soldier who fought for right
eousucss helped to carve out the-civ
lltzatlon we enjoy.
Wo are the heir# of all these men.
They tolled for uh. planned for us,
agonized for US.
When we think of the Infinite pains
by which our Institutions were bulit
up, that human blood was iimsl for
the mortar between all the stones In
the temple of' our civilization, that the
heights on which we dwell were erect
ed out of the bodies of men, as the
coral Isle Is made up of the unlninl
eula of the sen, wo are staggered by
the obligation placed upon us. flow
can we ever tel! our gratitude to those
who thus gave their all for our happi
ness 7
The thought lmplunts In us a rever
ence for our Institutions and a desire
to Ist very loyal to society.
Its rules were made for our benefit.
Even though sometimes defective, as
human Institutions are npt to he, they
yet aro nocessury until something bet
ter can lie put In their stead.
Our peace, prosperity, liberty, on
llghtenment, security; our Inventions,
scientific knowledge, philosophy,, roll .
giou, art, literature; our schools, chibs,
churches, great cities, beautiful vil
lages, railroads, steamships, oecstn ca
bles, wireless, aeroplanes, comforts,
conveniences all these and other
blessings are free gifts to us. They
hnve been patiently wrought for us
through the long ages of the past.
All that Is asked of us In return Is
that we use them to the best advan
tage; that we do not abuse or ruthless
ly destroy these precious Inheritances.
If we were keenly sensitive of nil
that has been done In our behalf we
would never rest easy one moment mi
les# wo were doing for others.
Humanity has placed on us u debt
of sacred honor.
This debt wo must repay to human
ity.

SERVICE.
'•There Is but one (rue basis fur ei
ther wealth or fame.
It is service.
Any wealth we gain for which we
huve not rendered an equivalent serv
ice Is tainted.
Any fame we enjoy (hut has not
been earned by service is false fame
Unit will turn to dispraise.
The Greatest of the Great wild l
came not to be ministered unto, but U
minister.
llis life was one of service.
The old motto of the nobility wu*
“Ich dlen” (1 serve).
The first meaning: of service is that
It Is somethin# we do for others.
He who does any useful work Is ben
efiting others. It may bo the raising
of a crop that others may have food,
thoy lu turn paying an equivalent
price.
Whether he recognizes It or ot. ills
task is altruistic, lie may think that
he works only for the selfish reward,
but as a matter of fact lie feeds the
hungry.
Perhaps his work Is ministering to
the sick. The vulgar Idea Is that the
doctor works only for his fin-. ViA no
fee can measure the easing of pain,
the saving of life. Whatever we may
say of the doctor, he works for others.
The one who serves may be a writer.
He entertains, comforts, Instructs or
inspires others. We may say that tie
does tt only for the money or reputa
tion It will bring him, yet that is but
a small part of the truth. Ho Is min
Is taring to his fellow meu.
Or he may be an artist, saying, as
true artists do, that he docs not work
alone for what lie may gain in return,
but. rather, for the very work’s sake.
Tef even this fails short of the whole
truth. He Is adding to the world’s
beturty and so Is serving countless
thousands In the highest way.
So It is throughout life. If we are
worth our salt we are serving others.
The reward we receive is but the
sauce on the dish. The solid, sub
stautlal thing Is the service we are
rendering.
Moreover, our Importance in the
scheme of things depends on this serv
ice. It is the rock on which is budd
ed the temple of our civilisation.
(>ne other point. The important
thiug la the service and not the re
ward.
The man who works from that end
M the man who wins In a big way.
The absolute scientific basis of suc
cess Is not how much 1 can get from
others, but how much I can do foi
Others.

Prsvsntion of Autointoxication.
The germs which are always
found in putrefying food unito

whether more harm than good

the growth of these bacteria,
which are. in reality, scavengers.
The natural wny to overcome
