Excerpt from The Commercial Age: Miscellaneous EssaysGod's eye is watching o'er us, And beneath us is his hand, Death will find us soon or later, On the deck or in the cot, And we cannot meet Him better, Than in working out our lot.The conditions of our civilized life seem to grow more difficult year by year. More young people are forced out each year to earn their living, but this really is no hardship, for labor means new knowledge and added power day by day. To be working for a living is the best fate that can overtake one, unless that labor degenerates into grinding toil or drudgery. Without the fruits of labor there can be no happiness, and without happiness life is an aching void.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
