Joyful Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy man has no time to form. Andre Mourois. Let me tell you a thing Only way you can ever be happy is to look at people without seeing their clothes or their manners. Look inside them, and you can love them every one. Aunt Adaline Gray. Prejudice is the child of ignorance. Hazlitt. The mind is the proper judge of the man. v Seneca. He who hath many friends, hath none. Aristotle. No gold, but only men, can make A nation, great and strong, Men who, for truth and honor's sake, Stand fast and suffer long. Brave men who work while others sleep, Who dare while others fly, i They build a nation's pillars deep And lift them to the sky. Emerson. CONTRAST (By Helen Howland Prommell) Sunlight and shadows fall at eventide, The dark and light together lying side by side; -The sun enhanced by shadow to make a brilliant sight, - - - - . The shadow made the darker by this contrasting light. So it is with living joy and sorrow run And each must find its measure in the other one; For often pain is keenest where joy has ceased to be, While joy is most exalted through sorrow's ecstasy. SINS OF OMISSION TI7 . . vye aim, we claim, to do what's right, we plan to cheer and shed some light, to sponsor good, and so we might, if we could just find time. Our good intentions we impart, the joy of helping fills our heart, and yet too often we never start, we merely xcci aumuume. a one time friend, a darn good scout, we chance to hear, is down and out, a victim of the times, no doubht, we'll look him up right straight. But six month hence, 'tis sad but true, he bids this cold world a sad adieu, while we, filled with remorse and blue, mourn that we're now too late. Then we resolve and plans are made to help borne neignpor maice the grade, our duty, we will not evaae, our conscience we will heed. And so within ou rsnug abode we figure how to ease his load but fail to act, so all we've sowed are sighs, for him in need. Intentions lay the cornerstone but one can't build on them alone, if every good act we postpone our house we build of sand. The world will never brighter be nor will our souls be fit and free while calmly we, in lethargy, withhold a helping hand. This life is short, if we'd improve we must keep ever on the move, too oft we settle in a groove and fail to clean our slates. And we'll regret we've not done more when it's too late to change the score and who's to know how long be-fore be-fore we crash the "pearly gates." And can't you see- Saint Peter look and run his finger up his book and quoth, "You're just a minor crook, you meant to do what's right. You simply could not quite begin, when I have time 111 judge your sin, meanwhile" he chuckles with a grin, "go shovel anthracite. 0. B.
