Show MAKE SOMETHING OF LIFE Not Without Reason Should Any Past Through the Joys and Troubles of the World. Thousands of men breathe, move and live; paBs off tho stage of life, and aro heard of no more. Why? Thoy did not a particle ot good In tho world; and none were blest by them, none could point to them as tho Instrument of their redemption; not a lino they wrote, not a word they spoke, could bo recalled, and bo thoy perished their light went out In darkness and they were not remembered remem-bered moro than tho InBectB of yesterday. yes-terday. Will you thus llvo nnd dlo, O man Immortal? Llvo for something. Do good and leave behind you a monument mon-ument of virtue that tho storms of tlmo enn never destroy. Write your name by kindness, love and mercy on tho hearts of tho thousands you come In contact with year by year, and you will never bo forgotten. No, your name, your deeds will be as legible on cho hearts you leavo behind as the stars on tho brow of evening. Good deeds will shlno as bright on the earth us tho Btars of heaven.- -Thomas Chalmers Chal-mers . |
