1t is told of some wise man, whose

habit. while his mind was vigorous and
hls body in good health, of examining
carefully various topics. He bestowed
npon them patient thought, Judicially
weighing the arguments for and against,
and then came TO decision. These de-
cisions he land aside for use. When, in
his old age, one of these topics happened
to present itself, he would reter mentally
to the decision he had made, saying,--
"Whcn l had II sound mind in sound
