WISE WORDS.

Virtue is the secret OF vjgor.
Giving is loves way Of living.
No deed OF love is ever small.
Joy cometh in the morning"-not
after the night Of dissipation.
When you see man with big sign
Of a saint, don't trust him with a cent.
Your force depends on the fervor of
your faith rather than Oh the fervor
Of your feelings.
The religion that makes you feel

When mans heart is in Heaven il
does not suffer from palpitatlon every
time it sees the collection coming.
The extent of your friendships De

but on the number of people you can
love.
The wickedest thing in this world
is the sect that winks at the rich
with one eye and glares on the poor
