SOME MEN WHO HAVE DONE THINGS. 171
Men and boys, whether your own or others, will always do better work, they will take more pride in their work, when you give them good tools to work with. in a word, I'd make the conditions on the farm just as favorable to cheerfulness and contentment as I
could. "Do you think my boy would become disgusted with farm- life then, and want to become a clerk in a store, a bookkeeper, a dependent worker for daily wage in town or city?"

God's Victory.
(For the Improvement Era.)
When people think we're mad Because they cannot see, And we pity and turn glad Is that not victory?
When we are sore derided Through hate and jealousy, And then leave foes unchided Is that not victory?
When we can give the slighted More aid than sympathy, And then leave foes unchided— Is that not victory?
When we can make all discord Strike tones for harmony, And then hear one great concord— Is that not victory?
When we can see great visions How all might happy be, And then change world conditions- Is that not victory?
When last we see the greatest good In strong posterity, And then train youth for parenthood- Is that not victory?
