WHAT CARE HAS DONE
One thing that the nurture of the wonderful Dionne babies has
d-one is to illustrate what proper care will do for the human body.
Only lately we heard a prominent public man say that he could
cure 90 per cent, -of the ills of the present time if he could get
people to go toi bed iby 9:30 p.m. There may .be something in what
the good man said. At any rate, there is noi doubt in the world but
that the human b-ody is a sadly ab-used mechanism that hits, back
with terrible force upon the abuser. Gladstone said that an invest
dent in 'health yields returns of 100 per cent. That quiet little
country doctor and his patients are illustrating a very valuable
truth.
********
JUST A PLAIN MAN
That’s what Stanley Baldwin is. Of course he’s Prime Minis
ister of Great Britain. However, that does not concern him very
much. His real concern is to be a genuine English gentleman, true
to the best ideals his race has acquired through the centuries and
living iup to- what may reasonably be required of a man of his ad
vantages >and culture. He is anxious to -do •his simple duty as he
sees it in this present moment. iHe does not bother about fanciful
things but he is anxious to get done and done well, the very best
thing that can -be done in the interests of his country and of the race.
Yes, he loves England, but he loves- honour still more. He likes
power but he will not hold it at the cost of truth. He. is great enough
to tell the truth, let the consequences be what they may. He is a
great Englishman, perhaps the best loved and most trusted states
man- that ever served her. His Christian manliness has made him
great.
PAY AS YOU GO
Records of court proceedings are showing that there is nothing
so business-like as paying as. you g-o. Of course, yes, of course,
there are a whole lot of people who have said that you can’t get
on without using your credit. Here is a case in point:
“I always pay as I go," said one friend to another about 20
, years ago.
“I always iget my goods on credit!" the friend replied. Then
when folk ask if I pay by bills, the folk I -deal with say that my
check always comes back when they send in their account."
Weil, this business man came to the place where he was unable
to send his check promptly. The firm was lenient. In a while the
check came along. Meanwhile- the friend learned that he could use
his -credit without any collateral. Little by little he extended his
credit with the inevitable coming -of the breaking point. Then fol
lowed in quick succession a scene in court, disgrace and suicide.
Quite unconsciously his- integrity had been undermined with ruin,
dark ruin, in every sense of that terrible word. The old maxim
“Pay as you go" is a hard master -but a good friend. Look around
you and see!
********
. BETTER THINK ABOUT THIS
“A great many people are taught to be insane, according to Dr.
Doyle, of the Ontario Mental Hospital at Kingston. He declares that
■over-solicitous parents frequently rob small children of their sense
of responsibility, and proper training from the cradle on would,
eliminate many of the cases which come to: mental hospitals today.
Children should assume responsibility for their acts and learn to
accept consequences."—The (St. Marys Journal-Angus
We’ve been thinking something like that for quite a while. To
a far greater extent than we know we have been responsibility
dodgers. We lay waste our powers, we squander our money, we
waste -our time, we talk and talk and loaf, we follow the easiest
lines of conduct, we develop moral flabbiness and softheadedness!
and then 'howl like banshees because we reap just what we have
sown. When dear little Jackie comes home from school well tanned
because ho didn’t get his lessons, we try to; get tho teacher fir
ed and then talk about a cruel world when the hopeful turns out
not to? be worth a hoot when he is sent out to earn his living. Wo
start one of our youngsters to get on on his own and then pay ^ils
bills, though he and his dear ducky have proven, slackers at every
turn. When hard luck comes to. their doors we blame everyone but
ourselves and themselves. When our .young people raise the devil,
we blame tho churches. We hoard a prime minister blntne tho hard
ti.m$s of some poodle in the West on the Rocky Mountains or on
tho way the earth turned! It's a great world, all right, all right.
