Our happiest moments are when we
forget self in useful effort
Through the desire and effort to
express, we win reach the highest
good, or paradise.
Man has always fallen upward, and
when he has kicked the ball, 1t has
always been toward the goal.
The wise man is readyto relinquish

Happy is the child born into fam
lily where there is a competition of
ideas, and the recurring theme is

Mankind is moving toward the
light, and such is our faith now in
the divine intelligence that we do not
believe that in our hearts were plant
ed aspirations and desires that are
to work our undoing. Hub
