THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Mind Yoon Own Business. Moralists, with their cry of “"do good to others.’’ have got hold of the-wrong end of the stick. The most effectual way of doing good to others is to mind your own business—the most elleetual hut the least showy, .for there is nothing in it to indicate to the passer-by that you are a philanthropist. 1 our conduct will commend itselt only io those who honour good done in secret. Assuredly there is no form of “social service” com Durable to that which one can render by doing his job to the very best of his ability. The enemies of society are those who .scamp their jobs. Nothing makes you despise a man so completely as the sight of him scamping his job.—Dr ],. P. Jacks.
