That is when we can do the work beat
is a constant
problem
Cleanliness, it has begin said, is
next to Godllpess. A dirty individual
is neither clean spiritually nor
mentally. Dirt makes for ruin phy
sically, mentally, morally. This is as
true of a town as an individual. The
dirty town, the town full of rubbish,
of untidy houses, of muddy streets,
of unsanitary conditions, is non-pro-
gressive materially, morally and edu
cationally. Neither moral nor ma
terial advancement flourish in dirty,
unkept dwellings or in unkept towns.
If any town or city is ambitious
for advancement, or if even a few of
its men and women are ready to de
vote their time and energy to the
betterment of the community, the
surest way to achivc success is to
clean s up—mnke back yards and
front yards clean, make streets clean
and keep them clean, encourage the
people to beautify their home and
their yards, stimulate a love for and
a pride in their homes and in their
towns, repair the tumble-down yard
fences, paint up, make things as
clean outside as they should be inside
and then that community will look up
mentally, morally and materially.
No community which does not
clean up and paint up, which »1 »es
not do its best to have clean yards,
and clean streets, has any right to
look up and face ths world.
It might be said a’’ dirty town
makes a dirty people; a dirty people
makes moral and material dirt and
¿.cay. It is the duty of all men and
women to make*- their homes and
their home towns just as clean and
attractive and beautiful as possible.
He who falls short in this respect
falls short of his duty to God and
man, it matters not what else he may
do.
