A Philosophers Statement That

Every act has for its immediate or far

When one steps upon the sprngy sod

day in June. while the soft. teasing breeze
strokes the cheek, the birds chatter to
tell how happy they are and all through
ones being silently courses a sturdy in
describable sense Of perfect, bounding
health and nervous poise. the value of
that health is better appreciated when one
realizes that without health all these fas-
cinations of Mother Nature would appear
cold and fiat.
Peace and happiness are worth more
than much gold. The true road 10 what
