-"Out of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh." True, but also
out of the emptiness of the heart the
mouth can speak even more volubly.

is appropriate and adequate to his emo
tions is not the man whose emotions
are deepest; warmth of feeling is one
thing; permanence is another.-F. W.
Robertson.
Don't let us be afraid of enthusi-
asm. There is more lack of heart than
of brain, The world is not starving
for need of education half as much as
for warm, earnest interest of soul for |
soul. We agree with the Indian who,
when talked to about having too much
zeal, said: " l think it is better for the
pot to boil over than not to boil at ALL"

Why the clouds should conceal their bright I
lining. Vermont Chronicle. {
