The article throws light on the statement for a deceased justice made by the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Farmer in his early youth acquired the habit of industry. He appreciated the importance of constant employment and never indulged in any form of idleness. He never acquired the habit of taking an occasional rest from his work for the purpose of recreation. To him, to be happy was to be engaged in some useful occupation. Finally, the article concludes that men must work to eat and be clothed; he must work for shelter, for love, for his children; he must work for his immortal soul. But as soon as he lets himself be ruled by pure busyness for its own sake, he is lost. He is forever rolling the stone uphill and never reaching the top.
