Cr. Adler Explains Why the Sword

Dr.Felix Adler, speaking before the

the country's financial troubles were
due to the moral recklessness of men
in high places. Most of the wicked
ness of the world he declared was
not deliberately planned, but the indi-

did not care for consequences.

1t takes more than sentiment to
make saint,
The only way to save time is to
spend Il well.
The man who stops for praises
misses perfection.
n you court one temptation you are
sure to win a score.
The only safe argument with tempta-
ton Is a swift attack.
The mind always is the richer for
the slander It forgets.
You cannot find happiness II you
turn your back on health.
There's a short road to heaven from
any point in right life.
II we do not cause our trials to
make us they will break us.
IT'S the little everyday helpfulness
that make every day heavenly.
The song IN your own heart Will
sustain You longer II you share 1t.
The devil can beat any OF us at the
business OF making fine sentiments.
The handsomest people are those
who let happiness get into their faces.
The deed is the only Endorsement
Of a good sentiment recognized by
heaven.
Some folks never appear to enjoy
life's roses until they sit down among
the thorns
