value they can receive from a real vacation it Is a pity that we all take such infinite care to keep our automobiles our farm tractors our presses our tools in the best condition and let our bodies get along as best as they can we tear about like mad breaking down the tissues and never give a thought to how they are going to be built up we wa lot let our minds get full of the sordid thoughts that come naturally from rom living to close to material things and we never get away where any kind of a spiritual uplift ha has 3 any chance with us right thinking is the secret of all happiness for

mean wicked thinking but otten often we allow our minds to oravel in the wrong direction instead of holding them always in the path where god directed they should go we get habits ot of thought regarding the number of clothes we must have the kind hind of an automobile we must have to keep up with our friends the number of parties we must give until it is one mid mad rush to keep heep up and to make both ends meet because we allow these habits of thought to grow on us we a be ginto regard these things as the the most important things in III t the world and we do not allow the really big things to reach us the worth while things of t this his world cannot reach us when we keep ourselves constantly surrounded by so much that it is and it is only by getting out where god is more

courtesy so when they find it themselves they are eager to be courteous to others but in a community there are always certain parties who habitually bitu ally flash their glaring lights in the eyes of
