What tii Unrlh Wink No matter liou quickly or deliberately we aet there is always some motive for each thing we do. Were we to ask ourselves the question ' Why? in relation to our acts for even a day, the answers would be many. They could be classified, however, into two groups, viz.. for self or selfish motives and for others, or service. Self activities are more numerous than we like to admit, in either youth or maturity. A retrospective glance at our activities is too frequently disappointing because it shows a false idea of pleasure and a sacrifice of friends in obtaining it. This glance reveals that the pleasure that comes from self-interest is not nearly so deep or abiding as that which comes from service. We may satisfy all our physical desires or amass vast sums of money for our enjovment. but no one will, at a future day, honor us for that. The world, today, names its dogs for a man noted for his cruel selfishness; it sings the praises of thousands whose inlluence will never die because they served. Greatest praise goes to leaders like Christ, Buddha, and Confuscius. who preached service and exemplified it. Love for others develops serviie for others and elimination of selfishness. Tennyson savs: Love took up the harp ol lite And smote on all its chords willi might. Smote the chord of self, which, trembling .Sank, in music, out ot sight.
