I hink not merely of the physical act, but of what it can be made to signify in the spiritual life. There is no need for any work to be merely mechanical and deadening 'to the spirit. Use the work deliberately for a spiritual purpose even though it be merely knocking nails into packing cases. JW The value is not in the work, but in your attitude to it. The soul gives significance to the simplest and humblest acts. *314190:-1! C olorad o il
"It makes all the difference in the world to our health and happiness whether we look upon our work as drudgery or whether we do it with delight,” said Dr 0. S. Marden, “Work should be a 'tônic, not a grind; life à delight not a struggle.”
to Work is, man's greatest blessing, for an occupied mind is not a tempted mind; and it is a double blessing to the weak-minded. Vast multitudes of people have been saved from useless, dissipated lives by being obliged to work.
4. It is the law of nature that anything that is not helpfully occupied begins to deteriorate, to go to pieces. It matters not, whether it is an engine or a human brain, exercise or deteriorate is the law of life."; bigo The quality of our lives depends in no small' measure upon the quality of our daily tasks. "No matter how humble your work may seem," said Marden, "do it in the spirit of an artist, of a master. In this way you lift it out of commonness and rob it of what would otherwise be drudgery."
