JOY IN SERVICE.

By Hillis

I AM a man who spends his time in mixing tonics to try to get up an appetite in you who are gorged to the point of gluttony. Here you are, eating many kinds of food, pouring rich wines down your throats, saturating yourselves with all kinds of ease and luxury, and then preparing to die out of life, when God has put you here for something better. You are not happy, but in seven days I could make you happy. Organize the resources of life in the interest of the poor and weak, and for misery you'll have happiness, for selfishness that corrodes you will have a blade that flashes more and more, and then you will know real luxury—the luxury of service.—Hillis.
