Show In Idleness ;TN IDLENESS alone is there 1 perpetual despair," declared Carlyle, who knew well what de pression and melancholy were, but met them by hard work. The more intensely we throw ourselves our-selves into each day's labors, the more we escape from discourage ment and temptation. Work is the sheet anchor of the soul, and the higher work becomes, the higher its satisfaction. Work even for ourselves helps us out of depression ; work for others brings joys; work for God lifts us Into the most enduring happiness happi-ness of all. |
