the golden rule is for one and all who dwell upon god's green earth and when you have answered deaths loud call you'll be judged for your honest worth each kindly deed has its recompense we are placed here to make or mar ; and e're we take our departure hence lets all be what we are waiter emmett nobility nobility is the sum of all the goodness of the world it constitutes every thing that is honorable and virtuous tennyson says ' better not be at all than not be noble a person that is nou noble in some degree is a great injury to the world ; for if he can not do anything to help the world he must injure it a person cannot be in different every living being has an influence of some kind upon his associates there are few people however upon the earth who do not possess nobil ity in some degree in the meanest lowest character some spark of honor or nobility is almost certain to show itself shakespeare says as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds so honor peereth in the meanest habit nature has framed the human mind so that it seeks after the higher things of the world unless marred by deep sin and crime the natural in clination of the mind is to become better environment has a great influence and therefore it is meet that noble minds keep ever with their likes for who so firm that cannot be seduced noble people should seek the com pany of noble people so that they may be elevated and become more noble and at the same time assist to raise the character of their associates ^ rosella ferrin 07 i know no disease of the soul but ignorance a pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck the best thing in the world 3 6 the best thing in the world is love christ said in answer to the phar isee lawyer who asked him which was the greatest commandment thou shalt love the lord thy god with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind.1 christ also told him that the next greatest commandment was love thy neighbor as thyself.1 we find that this answer silenced the pharisees and they asked no more questions nor could they find fault with his answer for they could see for themselves what that one commandment in cluded for this is the love of god that we keep his commandments then if we love god we will keep his commandments and in keeping his commandments we would love our neighbor as ourselves.'1 so what christ called the second greatest commandment could be included in the first just before his betrayal when christ is trying to comfort his apostles he tells them to love one another and to love their father in heaven and also to continue in his love for in that mutual love they would find consolat ion and always live up to god's laws love is really the source of all goodness it was for the love of man kind that jesus suffered death the result of love may also be seen in our every day lives if a child love his parents he will obey them and on the other hand if the parents love their children they will teach them to do right and by doing that they are teaching them to love their god anyone who will say an unpleasant word or do anything unkind to a friend does not love that friend or if a play mate or friend deliberately introduce to another anything that is wrong he does not love th it friend or that playmate if we truly love one another we shall all be united in gaining salvation we should all feel as brothers and sisters but too often we lack that brother ly love do we love that fellowman whom we would not help up and encour age alter he had fallen by letting his weakness get the better of him in stead of shunning him and letting him become more and more discouraged as he tries in vain to rise against the force of some who are pushing him down love would help him to rise by encouraging him and making him feel as though some one would like to see him again on his road upward by dropping a smile a word of encouragement to one in distress we may make the world brighter and happier and the more that feeling of love ards one another the more beautiful will seem the things of this life exists towa florence woolley 07
