PLAIN FACTS
TOLD PLAINLY
Itsavs somewhere in the Bible
that '"He that is greatest among
you shall be your servant," and
there is no greater truth to be
found in that wonderful store
house of truth and wisdom. It
is a fact proven by the histoiy
of the human race that the man
whose chief aim is for himself
can never achieve greatness
seldom success. The man whose
interest is centered upon him
self is for that very reason incap
able of doing much that is worth
while.
Just as the man who sets out
to capture happiness finds that
it is only to be attained in an in-
direct way, by seeking happiness
for others, so the man who de-
sires true success, fame, honor,
must learn sooner or later that
these things come only to him
who forgets self in his desire to
serve his fellow man. The
world's great men have in no
case sought their own interests;
they have worked for mankind
has learned to love and honor
and revere them. The idea of a
hero who sought his own ag
gradizment is too absurd to con-
template.
Even in worldly success the
same principle holds good. That
bnsiness will prosper most, in
the majority of instances, in
which the first aim is that of
service, of being really helpful
and profitable to its patrons or
cnstomers. The business which
is co ducted with the purpose of
getting all it can for itself is
built upon an insecure found-
ation.
Selfishness is the result of ig-
norance. It takes some men a
long time to learn this, and some
never learn it. But the man who
for years has been a victim of
seltishne'ss certainly cannot be
very well satisfied with the re-
sults, for its fruits are dissapoint-
ment and bitterness, and he
must realize that instead of ob-
taining fur himself all the good
things which lie has sought, he
has made a miserable failure
cf it and has in reality been work-
ing against his own interests.—

cial Bulletin."

ANNIVERSARY.
Editor New Era
Sir:
It has been my good fortune
and Dleasure to know, intimate-
ly, for nearly twontyfive, years
Uncle narvey and Aunt Lucy
Randel of, this city. Last Fri
•lay night, March 19, 1909 was
their 51st wedding anniversary
and a large company of theii
friends called at their residence
and spent the evening in an
appropriate manner, in honor of
their 51st anniversary Ir, v. as
indeed a very great pleasure to
thus meet with this worthy
couple and to felicitate with
theui on the happy voyage both
have made together on the mat-
rimonial sea. For fifty-one years
Uncle Harvey and Aunt Lucy
have journeyed, hand in hand
along life's rough and rugged
pathway together, and now as
they ait in the evening shadows
of life, they can both look back
over the long journey they have
traveled and say for a truth, wo
have been exceedingly happy all
along the journey, and if
We could go back to the forks of the
road,
Back the long miles we have carried
our load,
Back to the place where we once did
ceeide,
That through life together we will
ever abide,
If we were here now a decision to
make,
This same happy road again we
would take,
There is no state, in this world
so sweet as a fcappy old aga,
where the old father and moth, '
can look the world squarely in
trie face and say, "We have
wronged no man, we have given
to the world sons and daughters
who now rise up and call us bless-
ed. 1 Such is the happy lot of
Uncle Harvey and Aunt Lucy
Randel. For more than half a
century they have kept each
other company on life's tumult-
uous sea, but with the help of
God, whom both have served
faithfully during all these y ars,
they have been able to overcome
the tossing billows and now they
eet themselves down in the even-
ing shadows and await the sum-
mons which will say, "It iB
enough, come up higher."
1 liis good couple are worthy
representatives of that sturdy
race of men and women, who
blazed the way through the pri-
meval forests and across track
less plains, and laid in the great
west the foundation for the
splendid civilization which we
9,1 joy today. These old pioneers
are rapidly passing away and
the wopld owes thorn a debt it
can never repay.
May God in his'wisdom and
mercy continue to be and abidv-
with Uncle Harvey and Aunt
Lucy Randel, and when the end
of their journey is at last reach-
ed, may He graciously meet
them at the margin of the river,
and guide them safely to the
beautiful beyond, was the wish
of all who were present-
