A DAILY MESSAGE
WHAT ARE YOU WORKING FOR? Am: you working to have more or to he more? Are you working for fame, or for knowledge ? Are you working lor a higher place, or for higher worth? Are you working to build a character. or are yo i building yoursel 1 ’ into a mausoleum of gold and silver 1 -' Do you count your gains in silver or in service? Many there lie who work feverishly through many years to acquire wealth enough to enjoy life, but to whom enjoyment never comes. In the process of coining money they coin their souls. They become living mummies, in whom the milk of human kindness has quite dried up—in whom the love instinct has withered to ashes —to whom flowers, poetry, music, laughter, friendship, have no meaning. Oh, pity these, the work of whose lives has built them only a tomb ! —M. PRESTON STANLEY.
