Loyalty.
Loyalty Is that quality which
prompts n person to be true to the
things he undertakes. It means def
inite direction, fixity of purpose,
steadfastness. Loyalty supplies pow
er, poise, purpose, ballast and works
for health nnd success. Nature helps
the loyal man. if you are careless,
slipshod, Indifferent, nature assumes
that you wish to be a nobody, aud
grants your desire. Success hinges on
loyalty. He true to your art, your
business, your employer, your
"house.” Loyalty Is for the one who
Is loyal. It Is a quality woven
through the very fabric of on,.'*
being, and never a thing apart. Loy
alty makes the thing to which you
nre loyal yours. Disloyalty removes
It from you. Whether anyone knows
of our disloyalty Is really of little
moment either one way or the other
Tile real point is. how does It affect
ourselves? Work Is fnr the worker.
Art Is for I he m-iisi. The menial Is
li iniiti who Is disloyal to his work.
All useful servin' |s raised to the
pintle of art when love for tusk—loy
alty—Is fused with the effort.—Era.
