CO-OPERATION NEEDED
The value of co-operation may be
seen in the evils which mark its ab
sence. In private life a lack of co
operation buries our friendships and
in nationaj life the absence of co-op
eration has strewn the dead upon the
world’s battlefields. When debtars and
■creditors do not co-operate bankruptcy
comes to the individual and panic to
the world of commerce. Failure or suc
cess is largely dependent upon a man
being willing to co-operate with the
cVreumstances in - connection with
which his energies must be engaged.
It is lack of co-operation which brings
fricticn, defeats the best laid plans,
causes hopes to go qnrealized, de
stroys harmony and generates hard

The value of co-operation is em
phasized by the blessings which it
brings. Co-operation grows as civili

ness. It creates that unity among men
and nations without which there can
be no abiding strength. It forms the
