ONE  PROOF  to  MR.  GUILD— Rush 
GOOD  DOCTRINE 
“The  law  of  life  is  labor.  The  joy 
of  life  is  in  accomplishment.” 
These  sentences  that  are  credited 
to  President  Eliot  of  Harvard,  who 
has  recently  passed  his  ninetieth 
birthday,  should  be  studied  by  lazy 
people  and  by  all  who  expect  to 
achieve  accomplishment  without  work. 
One  of  the  greatest  joys  of  life  is 
in  accomplishing  something  helpful 
to  others.  In  doing  our  daily  tasks 
we  may  keep  a  cash  account  of  thb 
money  we  give  away,  but  in  the  mere 
routine  of  work  we  may  quite  uncon¬ 
sciously  make  life  pleasanter  or  easier 
for  somebody. 
The  clergyman  prepares  his  ser¬ 
mons  from  week  to  week,  and  never 
knows  how  far  his  thoughts  and 
words  may  arouse  good  thoughts  and 
helpful  ideas  in  the  minds  of  those 
who  hear  him. 
The  school  teacher  has  a  responsi¬ 
bility  for  directing  the  minds  of 
youth  that  extends  far  beyond  the 
mere  teaching  of  the  regular  course 
of  study,  and  even  the  newspaper 
editor  falls  short  of  his  duty  if  he 
merely  gives  his  point  of  view  on 
news  of  the  day. 
A  business  man  stepped  from  the 
sidewalk  to  the  muddy  street  to  move 
to  the  side  of  the  road  a  big  stone 
that  might  cause  trouble  to  horse  or 
wheel,  and  then  he  asjied  himself  why 
he  did  it. 
His  mind  went  back  to  school  days, 
over  forty  years  ago.  The  teacher 
said:  “Boys,  I  notice  that  when  a  hat 
has  fallen  from  the  hook  to  the  floor 
some  boys  will  give  it  a  kick,  others 
pay  no  attention  to  it,  and  about  one 
boy  in  a  half  dozen  will  pick  it  up  and 
put  it  on  a  hook.  Now  when  you  see 
a  hat  on  the  floor  I  wish  each  of  you 
would  try  to  be  the  boy  that  picks 
it  up.  Think  what  you  would  like  to 
have  another  boy  do  to  your  hat  if 
it  fell,  and  do  the  same  to  his  hat.” 
This  tea.cher  today  would  be  sur¬ 
prised  to  learn  that  a  few  words  that 
he  said  to  his  class  of  boys  would 
cause  men  forty  years  afterwards  to 
remove  obstructions  from  the  high¬ 
way,  hut  when  they  perform  a  trivial 
service  of  this  kind  they  pay  tribute 
to  a  good  teacher  who  taught  his 
class  something  more  than  the  daily 
lessons.
