is it shown that it pays to educate.
But the hest thing in education is
the JOY of service it teaches. All

superior advantages should strive to
help up those below. In the helping do
not lose sight of the sweetness and re-

great plan of uplifting the universe
ought to be inspiration enough to any
man. And to that end all should strive
with faith in God, with kindly feeling
to all fellowmen and desire to pro-

earth. -
