A President's Advice.
— 0 — Says President Roosevelt:—l strive never to tell anyone what I do not thoroughly believe, and I shall not say that to be honest and temperate and hardworking and thrifty will always bring success. The hand of the Lord is sometimes heavy upon the just as well as upon the unjust, and in the life of labour and effort which we must lead on this earth it is not always possible either by work, by wisdom, or by upright behaviour to ward off disaster. But it is most emphatically true that the chance of leading a happy and prosperous life is immensely improved if only the man is decent, sober, industrious, and exercises fore-sight and judgment Let him remember, above all, that the performance of duty is the first essential to right living. No man can be a good citizen, can deserve the respect of his fellows, unless first of all he is a good, man in his owm family—unless he does his duty faithfully by his wife and chil) dren.
