THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
YlltiTK IS A PltOl'lT-K.MtNKU. “In teaching morals one of the common arguments is that sin is pleasant, and righteousness a heavy task. Being a worthy man is likened to tarrying a cross. Sueh teaching isn't experience or real life. 'I he most wretched people we have tiro the evildoers. The man with a reasonable amount of success to his credit gets along easier and more comfortably than bis neighbour who is a failure. There is more pleasure in thrift anti work than in idleness, waste, and dissipation, and honest and industrious men always have most money. 1 tint not much interested in the great, things wo have long worked at with little result, hut I wish 1 might somehow induce people to realise lhe importance of the single virtues which are also comforts anti profitable.”
