HE C H E A T E D HIM SELF By Paul Lownsberry A striking story is told of a rich man who wanted to help a poor carpenter and his family.He hired the carpenter to build a house on a hillside and then went away on a long journey. The carpenter said to himself: "By boss is away and I can use shoddy materials and neglect the supporting work that does not show. The house will be weak, hut nobody will know It." So he built u ramshackle house.When the rich man came hack, the carpenter said: "Here Is your house." "Thank you," said the rich man, "hero is the deed and the key. I'm giving It to you."And the carpenter grieved that he had robbed himself of a good house.We reap what we sow. We huve to live in the house of life we build. If we do Hhoddy work, If we "Holdler" on the boss, we pinch ourselves, shrivel up and loose our ability to discern between right and wrong. We have to live In such a house without character. We have to live with ourselves!It Is a tremendous fact that each one of us Is building to-day the house we must live In to-morrow. We can build a palace or a hovel, a mansion or a Jail or a pigpen hut we must live In It.Our influence depends, not so much upon what we know, or even what we do, as upon what we are. H.
