THE FUTUHE CITIZEN.
ARE YOU?
Are you a time killer? Do you
stand about talking when you
should be disposing of duties that
press upon you?
Do you put off until 9 -.3 o o’clock
she tilings that might just as well
be done at 9 :oo?
Do you lag through a task instead
of attaching it with all the steam
on and pushing it through briskly?
Do you frilter away a single hour
of the day that might be made use
ful in benefiting your health, your
mind or helping your business? Do
you squander in se’fish idleness
moments that you could use in be
stowing comforts upon others?
If so, stir yourself. You are go
ing backward If you do not look
out the rest of America will leave
you far behind.
If you live long you’ll live about
70 years. This is a short while in
which to accomplish much. You
should be firmly established in your
career by the time you arc 40. The
years sweep past and you will be
40 almost befote you know it. So,
get busy. Get into the American
spirit. Learn the value of the
hour Do not alLw u solitary one
ot the precious hours to flit past un
utilized. It you are at work, work
hard and reap the reward; if not
at work pick up a good substantial
book and add to your learning, if
you are not reading a substantial
book take some physical exercise
and benefit your health. But do
not lie around and kill time.
Stir yourself to-day—this morn
ing.— Louisville Courier Journal.
GEMS OF THOUGHT
The cautious are generally to be
found on the right side.
By speaking when we ought to
keep silence, we waste our words.
The original noise is what counts
—most people are merely echoes.*
Be sin til and keep your voice loud
—there is plenty of big precedent!
lie whose principles are through
ly established, will not be easily led
from the light path.
Beware of ever doing that which
you are likely, sooner or later, to
repeat of having done.
Good habits tire mentors and ser
vants that regulate your sleep, your
work, your thought.
The mintage of life is to know
that rest is rust ; and that real life
lies in love, laughter and work.—Ex.

meant men to be. It is true that
man is fallen ; it is not true that he
cannot rise It is true that man is
weak ; it is not .true that lie cannot
be strong. We recognize heredity,
but we recognize also divinity.
Heredity is mighty, but the grace
of God is stronger still. There is a
world of human Weakness round a-
bout us, and weak inen and women
are proving false to themselves,
their friends, their God; but this is
riot of necessity. A man may not
be able to avoid disaster, but he
can escape dishonor; he may not
be able to avoid insult and injustice
and persecution, but he can manage
to retain his honesty, and if he die
he can at least die at peace with
God. But to do so he must be true
to himself, his friends, and his God.
The price may at times seem great,
but the reward is inestimable.
—The Christian Guardian.
DON’T DODGE
D> not dodge. Whatever the
difficulties to* be met, they are not
made easier by trying to dodge
them. In trying to dodge a missle
from one direction you may come
in line with one from a different
direction. When we dodge trouble
we are more than likely to get into
other trouble no less easy to endure.
Look with courage on what must
be met. Faced with courage diffi
culties are half conquered. Better
meet and conquer difficulties than
to dodge them. Do not dodge du
ties that devolve, on you. Duties
performed add strength and dignity
to character. It matters li'tle what
these duties are; though they be of
the simplest and humblest, well arid
truly done, they ,.cquire dignity.
Stand up bravely and squarely to
meet the difficulties of life. With
courage you will conquer. You will
come through with fewer scars than
by trying to dodge duty or difficulty.
Trying to evade begets in a man a
cringing spirit. He gets a habit of
truckling, and upright, self respect
ing manhood is done. Don’t dodge
if you would hold hold yourself a-
bove meonne-s. — Milwaukee Jour
nal.
