RESPONSIBILITY.
Most persons whose lives amount to anything are carrying so many responsibilities that the burden of these often well-nigh readies the breaking-pcint. And with the pressure and strain comes a longing to "get out from under." It is a good offset to any such feeling: to ask ourselves .how we should hke it if wc had no responsible' ; es. Suppose neither God nor man cared to trust us. with important risks! There are derelicts of humanity in the world who are without obvious responsibility. Wc would not relish their place for ourselves. It is a glorious, undeserved privilege ihat we have heavy responsibilities. '1 he heavier and more numerous they are, the greater is the privilege. For it shows that we are counted rap: able. It would be a pity to forfeit the privilege by proving that we do not deserve it.
