MARCH/APRIL 2022 SIRE EDITION
AD DEADL I NE FEBRUARY 20TH
TWOKINDSOF PEOPLE There are two kinds of people on earth to-day; just two kinds of people, nomore I say. Not the sinner and saint, for it’s well understood the good are half bad and the bad are half good. Not the rich and the poor, for to rate aman’s wealth, youmust first know the state of his conscience and health. Not the humble and proud, for in life’s little span, who puts on vain airs, is not counted aman. Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years bring eachman his laughter end eachman his tears. No; the two kinds of people on earth I mean are the people who lift and the people who lean. Wherever you go youwill find the earth’smasses are always divided in just these two classes. And oddly enough, youwill find, too, I ween, there’s only one lifter to twenty who lean. Inwhich class are you? Are you easing the load of overtaxed lifters who toil down the road? Or are you a leaner who lets others bear your portion of labor andworry and care? -EllaWheelerWilcox
