Show H Worth Remembering. B PieslUcnt Joseph Morrcll stated In H his remarks at tho Woodr.ull mpnioi- BBj lal services that, "Apostle Wood mil In life Was an unselllsh man, that he BBb did not live.for the accumulation of wealth for himself, but his life was BBV dcotcd to the welfare of others for he BBB -died comparatively a poor man." BBV Those who were personally acquainted B with the deceased know tha(. the BBJ above statement Is conect. The ex- prcsslonsof his face Indicated a serene, (julet and lovable spirit within, and H his labois in life proved that lie was H a phllantluopist In cveiy senso of the H word. He had undoubtedly learned thclilcfl(jsspnof ijjfc and tjiat wj?, iriatruojiapllncss consisted In mak-Vng-picr8ha'ppy(f s '&-.& W The Instant that a friendly or kindly kind-ly act Is performed for the good of another an-other thero Is" U feeling of consciousness conscious-ness and self approval that comes over you by which you are Impressed that you have done; your duty. That feeling alone Is compensation enough to tho donor,. , In sorting out in life If a young manyyili acquire an education, though i.niay.bc limited, It will enable him to.assqclate wjtji good men, thereby study, tloir.t;als of;haracr,,and In emulating yieuijIiOjWlli bo(brc:adel n Ji)s vlqws antj papablo,of doing much goqd to h fellow rnn, studying- a-waysvip a-waysvip apply thclghcultlyatlon, to Jijmsclf. The, feeling of cxtjqmc self aggrandisement twlll. be rclcgad and adcslrtodogood In the true sense of tho word will become a part of his nature, The principal of self denial must also bo brought Into requisition, for no man over proved strong and Inllu-cntlal Inllu-cntlal and capablo of dping much good to others by yielding to sclllsh desires. Ry subjugating yourself you arc prepared, pre-pared, to olTcr encouragement for othors to do like wise. If an Individual Individ-ual will conduct himself along these lines, a feeling of conltdenco and satisfaction satis-faction will permeate his whole being, lb will be noticeable In his looks and ho will surround himself with friends who aro worth moro than the gold of the world. Tho men who lay awako nights studying to take advantage advan-tage of their fellow man In a pccunlaiy sense, and then hoard up their money, may die wealthy but have failed In learning tho lesson of llfo that was assigned as-signed them. "Not many memorial services are held over the departure of such characters. Rut tho phllan-troplst, phllan-troplst, ho'who has lived to do others good, in elevating his fellow man In the scales of morality and virtue and othe good principles; they aro the men who die with the ' blessings of man and heaven upon them. Every kind act which they havo performed Is credited to them In tho great beyond, while tho gold of tho capitalist and usurer would be readily suriondercd at the hour of death If an assurance of an eternal life could be'glventhcm. While llfo lasts let It not be spent--ln matters pertaining to this existence alone, and for the building up of self, but use some of disabilities' for the good of others 'who aro lc'ss fortunate In life than ourselves. These are the treasures that will prove everlasting, and even death cannot obliterate them. " J -- ir T |
