“In the New Testament it is taught that willing and voluntary service to others is the highest duty and glory in human life. . . . The men of talent are constantly forced to serve the rest.

There are those who joyfully order their own lives so that they may serve the welfare of mankind.” MenLifeWritingHumansMayArtBookWholeOrderMankindTalentProduceTaughtWillingHe ManDutyBattleBenefitsHighestGloryDiscoveryInventionHuman LifeWelfareEnjoymentWorks Of ArtTestamentNew TestamentService To OthersDiscovery And Invention Book:Folkways - A Study Of The Sociological Importance Of Usages, Manners, Customs, Mores And Morals Source: Folkways - A Study Of The Sociological Importance Of Usages, Manners, Customs, Mores And Morals
