in the world; to go out and help others is, there. fore, the highest motive we can have, although; in the long run, we shall find that helping others is only helping ourselves. As a boy I had some white mice. They were kept in a little box and had little wheels made for them, and when the mice tried 10 cross the wheels, the wheels turned and turned, and the mice never got anywhere. So it is with the world and our helping it. The only help is that we get moral exercise. This world is neither good nor evil; each man manufactures a world for himself. If a blind man begins to think of the world, it is either as soft or hard, or as cold or hot. We are a mass of happiness or misery;: we have seen that it is so with us hundreds of times in our lives. As a rule, the young are optimistic and the old pessimistic. The young have all life before them; the old are complaining i their day is gone ; hundreds of desires, which they cannot - fulfil, are struggling in their hearts. Life is almost at an end for them. Both are foolish : Aevertheless. This life is neither good nor evil. '.
