Every ruurtyr who gnv bis life to keeii the faith wna a nucrlflce for us. Every scientist who devoted his years to patient Invevtlgation added to our light Every soldier who fought for right eousness helped to carve out the civ lllzatlon we enjoy. We are the belra of all these men, They tolled for us, planned for us. agonized for us. When we think of the infinite pains by which our institutions were buiit up. that human blood was used 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 Ixxlies of men, us the coral Isle Is made up of the animal cula of the sea, we are staggered by the obligation placed upon us. How can we ever tell our gratitude to those who thus gave their all for our happi ness V The thought Implants in us a rever cn< e for our Institutions and a desire to Ijo very loyal to society. Its rules were made for our benefit Even though sometimes defective, in human institutions are apt to he, they yet are uecessary until something bet ter can be put in their stead. Our peace, prosperity, liberty, en llghtcnment, security; our inventions, scientific knowledge, philosophy, reli gion, art, litem Unto; our schools, clubs, churches, great cities, beautiful vil lages, railroads, steamships, ocean ca bles, wireless, aeroplanes, comforts, conveniences all these and other blessings are free gifts to us. They have been patiently wrought for n through the long ages of thu past. All that Is asked of us lu return 1 that wo 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 all that lias been done In our behalf we would never rest easy one moment un less we were doing for others. Humanity has placed on us a debt of snored honor. This debt we must repay to human ity. Heart to Heart Talks By JAMES A. EDGERTON service. There is but one true basis for ei ther wealth or fame. It is service. Any wealth we gain for which wo have not rendered an equivalent serv ice is tainted. Any fame we enjoy that hus not been earned by seVvlce is false fame that will turn to dispraise. The Greatest of tlie Great said he came not to be ministered unto, but to minister. ills life was one of service. The old motto of the nobility wn* •‘lch dien” U serve). The ilrst meaning of service is that ( it Is something we do for others. lie who does any useful work is ben etiting others. It may be the raising of a crop that others may have food, they in turn paying an equivalent price. Whether he recognizes it or not. Ills task is altruistic. He may think that ho works only for the selfish reward, but as a matter of fact he feeds the hungry. Perhaps his work is ministering to the sick. The vulgar idea is that the doctor works only for his fee. Vet no fee can measure the easing of pain, the saving of life. Whatever we may say of the doctor, lie works for others. The one who serves may lie a writer. He entertains, comforts, instructs or Inspires others We in. siiv that In docs it only for the money or reputa tion it will bring him, yet that is hut a small part of the truth. He is min istering to tils fellow men. Or lie may l>e an a list, saying, ns true artists do, that he does not work alone for what lie may gain in return but. ratiter, for the very work's sake Yet even this falls short of the whole truth. He is adding to tin* world's beauty and so is serving counties' 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 stantial thing is the service we are rendering. Moreover, our Importance in the scheme of thiugs depends on this serv ice. It is the rook on which is build ed the temple of our civilization. One other point. The important thing is the service and not the To ward. The man who works from that end is the man who wins in a big way. The absolute scientific basis of suc cess is not how uimii I can jet from others, but how much I can do fot others. BANKS COUNTY JDURNAL mmJtK, ut*. Stig Morris and The Pair of Mules When a Georgia mule gets mix ed up with things in general, then business begins to pick up. This was tiue list hursday. A certain business man ol this city sent, up near Mays\illc nnd had l! c bad ill to levy on the mules. T he.se mules, be it said were innocent parties. .Mr. R.

Then Bailift W<l kins smelt a mouse-- possibly two mice tor he made haste forthwitn back to the stade, only to find that those mules we:cgone. 1 hey went by wireless. That brought on more talk. The next legal step was to swear out a warrant for the man who had told those mules to leave town just an ter, if not sooner. This was done, and Mi. Siig Moi ris, a well known capialist of thaL city was placed und:r arrest, charged with telling the mules to leave town.
