LEARN TO BE BRIEF.-Long visite,
long stories, long explanations and long
prayers seldom profit those who have
to do with them. Life ia short. Time
Ia short. Moments are precious. Learn
to condense, abridge and intensity. We
can endure many an ache and i'll il 1t is
soon over, while even pleasures, grow
irsipid, and pain intolerable, if they
are protraeted beyond the limits Of rea-
son and convenience. Learn to be
brief. Lop off the branches stick to the
main facts in your case. If you pray,
ask for what you would receive and be
through; if you speak, tell your massage
and then hold your tongue; boil down
two words into one. and three. into two.
Learn to be brief. 90 az 80 %. -i1
