" This above all; To 'hlne own self
be true.
And it must follow, as the night
th* Jay,
Thou can'st not then be false to
any man."
—Hamlet.
In •'linking of truth and in act
ing it in our daily lives we aro
apt to fall into a false way of re
garding it as an attribute of great
things, a companion to great causes
and works. The small lie, we argue,
can do none any harm and may
make (ho road sweeter or pleasant
er for someone.
The little exaggeration, which,
will add interest and point to our
tilling of this or that happening, is
harmless, we are pleased to think.
It is true that as far as others
art concerned these little infringe
nifctits may uot entail any of taj
penalties of falsehood.
But what of ourselves?
What would men think of our
ccmfirtiug and our wit if they
know bothi were born of falsehood*
U'hui havq the centuries though*
of the men and women who were
true t'j themselves and in that way,
through scorn and assault finally
proved their truth to the bs-t
that was in men and matters?
The truth that counts is that
which, is faithful to littla things
It alizes the fact that before
can give anything we must in
som® way get it. So before we
can be truthful to others we must
be to ourselves.
\V»fu we have achieved that
wc have achieved a great work In
tnc building of character.
Patrick Multloon, .who for 25
years had been employed about a
Philadelphia hospital, at a salar/
tha» never rose above $30 a month,
decided, the other day, that he ha«
strained his old bones anid muscles
long enough and is entitled to a
little relaxation before lying down
in nis long sleep.
For 35 years this man has never
received more than $30 a month
—par; of the time l«ss. Yet when
he 'V'uAred up" with h'ia employ^-,
the other day, there was coming to
him the neat sum of $7200.
"1 looks like eeiiough for. my
old age." he said, as he took It,
and added; "I haven't fooled much
away."
' tftd Method" is a nickname that
fi*s his man. Long years age.
when be began to save from his
small salary so that he might
hrrve enough for his old age he
solved the whole question of so
cial economy. He is an illiterate
man, but he is as wise as Shakes
peare, who said: "Enough is con
tent."
When the body wears out and
the soul sits down in a world of
memoriess it is the sacrifices made
that are sweet.
It 's then that the soul is sof
tened and soothed and satisfied
with memories of industry, saving
and self-sacrifice, just as olil
wine is rich with the spaTkle of
the loiitt-gone summer sunshine of
the vineyard. 1
Patrick Muldoon, servitor, igaor- ti
ant and- ill-paid through more
thou half the yeairs of his lire,
presen* a good object lesson, to
those who Ihre iu and lor thet pleas
ures of today only, fooling away
their substance iu youth aud laying
un for old age penury, suffering
and — worse still — heart-deso
lating memories.
The richest man or woman amons
us may leant much of this old toiler
Riches take to themselveB wings of
many kinds but none so certain as
the Insidious habit of fooling mon
ey away.
