Things Worth Thinking About

lDlHy0 HUiih i"'nhihJ "po"'
Ideas control the world.
90
Right living will produce right think
ing.
The first test of a truly great man is
humility.
He who tries to injure another in
jures himself more.
If you would create something you
must be something.
90
One enemy is too many, fifty friends
are not enough
" "
A man must stand erect, not be kept
erect by others.
Conceit may puff man up, but can
never prop him up.
90
A guilty conscience is a hell on earth
and points to one beyond.
Reputation is what men and women
think Of US; but character is what God
knows Of US.
90
No man can lose what he never had.
Tale bearers are as bad as tale max
ers.
Every man stamps his own value on
himself
Common sense is the knaek Of see
ing things as they are.
A man should never be ashamed 10
own that he has been in the wrong.
90
That man is great who can use the
brains Of others to carry on his dirt.
90
Inward religion, without the out
ward show Of il, is like a tree without
fruit, useless: and the outward show
Of religion without the inward sineeri-
~ is like a tree without heart, lifeless.

Better be alone than in bad company.

In a leading magazine is printed
an article in championship Of the use
81 alcohol as beverage In which
the following extract appears:
Now. as ever. It Is the drinking
peoples that lead the progress OF hui
manity. The Jews drank and gave
as monothelsm. The Greeks drank
ana gave US art and literature. The
Romans drank and gave Us law. The
Teutons drank and gave us liberty,
Britain has drunk (not always wise
ly) and established commerce. What
have the teetotal races done for the
betterment OF the worldg"
The article Is taken and analysed
by the New Voice which says: The
Jews drank, of course; but where are
the Jews now7 They are scattered all
over the earth without any national
nome. Total abstainers are now TAX
ing up subscriptions everywhere to
provide a place for the Jew where he
won't be killed.
The Greeks drank, of course; but
where are the Greeks now? The
sreek civilization is a matter of his
,orv, and their descendants are now
peddling peanuts to abstainers on the
street corners of American cities.
The Romans drank, OF course; but
where Is the Roman Empire to-day?
II is a matter OF ancient history, and
the descendants OF these drinking
Romans are now proving around
American cities with monkeys and
rand organs living off the pennies
tossed out to them by abstaining
Americans.
The Teutons drank. of course; but
what liberty" did we get from the
Teutons? The Teutons for years have
been running away from the tyranny
and oppression of the Teutonic gov
eminent to find liberty under the
Prohibition laws of America.
The Britons drank, of course. But
It required 100000 of these drinking
British trained troops to subdue u.s.
coo abstaining Dutch farmers.
Greece and Rome both died drunk.
Wise men are now writing articles
on the decay of France, another
drinking nation.
Russia has the delirium tremens
and will soon die or reform. Japan.
a temperance nation, with the oldest
dynasty on earth, chased the vodka
soaked Russians all over Eastern
Asia
