WHAT WE OWE.

We owe it to the world to leave after our passing no blot of bitter memories, but a green place of fragrant remembrance. We owe to the world to find the work we can do best, and do 'it the best we can. We owe to the world to add to the sum of its cheer, and subtract from the sum of its miseries. We owe to the world to turn upon it a smile, and hide from it our frowns. We owe to the world to he helpful, not; hindering. We owe to the world the courage that is pnven by bravely facing it, uttering no whine about how it "treats" us. the world owes us nothing except what it pays to all give us a stage upon which to play our parts. How we play the pait depends wholly upon ourselves. It is no part of the scheme of nature to make the way of life easy. We must pay for what we get—pay largely, of our strength, of our years, of our hopes, of our faith. But these are honest coins, and the world demands them of us in paywent of what we owe to the world. A.D.P. in "The Success Ladder"
