Show Blames Laziness for Much. Dr. Charles A. Eaton of the Madison Avenue Methodist church said in the course of a brilliant after-dinner speech in Cleveland: "Laziness is responsible for toe much of the misery we see about us It is all very well to blame alcohol for this misery, to blame oppression and injustice; but to wha heights might we not all have climbed bu1 for our laziness?" He paused and smiled. "We are too much like the supernumerary super-numerary in the drama," he went on, "who had to enter from the right and say: 'My lord, the carriage waits.' " 'Look "here, super,' said the stage manager one night, T want you to come on from the left instead of the right after this, and I want you to transpose your speech. Make it run hereafter: "The carriage waits, my lord." ' "The super pressed his hand to his brow. "'More study! More study!' he groaned." New York Times. |
