OVERPLUS OF DUTY

This testimony by an expert should interest particularly those just

starting in life:

Andrew Carnegie, in a recent address before a graduating class

in New York, said:

“There are several classes of young men. There are those who do

not do all their duty, there are those who profess to do their

duty, and there is a third class, far better than the other two,

that do their duty and a little more.

“There are many great pianists, but Paderewski is at the head

because he does a little more than the others. There are

hundreds of race-horses, but it is those who go a few seconds

faster than the others that acquire renown. So it is in the

sailing of yachts. It is the little more that wins. So it is

with the young and old men who do a little more than their duty.

Do your duty and a little more, and the future will take care of

itself.” (Text.)
