There Are Men and Women
Who Do More in an Hour
than -a half earnest man would do in a day.
For a soldier to go to war and not carry
any weapons except on parade would never
win the day.
In these times every business and
profession in the world needs thinkers who
are steady workers fired up to white heat.
'. No man means to be a half man, nor
knows that he has fallen into a habit of
doing as little as he is doing.
There is a little brindle dog near me who
has been taught "up and at them Punch."
