Jsaiah 58:8. t A brain is no stronger than its weakest think! vEv CAN YOU MARCH WITHOUT MUSIC? . . . It is said Benedict Arnold was a better general than George Washington. He was a handsomer man and a more interesting conversationalist. But he had one conspicuous weakness he was unwilling to "march without music." Whenever General Arnold performed a task in a competent manner, he expected praise and acclaim and. if these were not forthcoming, he sulked and became morose. In the hurry and scurry of war there were times when the feats of General Arnold went unnoticed. This hurt in his most vital spot his vanity. So he committed the act unpardonable he quit his job and placed the secrets of his employer in the hands of the competition. We all like to march to the sweet music of applause which we feel should be compensation for the noble work we have been doing, but when applause does not come promptly, the real man marches on without music. vEv A rich old lady was paying her nephew's college bills, and her visitor asked her if it was expensive.
