The Touchstone of Ethics.

The surest tombstone (of beliefs)
is the ethical standard which, through
Inheritance, education and the expe
rience of daily life has, as a matter
of fact, become our standard. It is
not for our happiness to believe any
proposition about the nature of man,
the universe, or God, which is really
at war with our fundamental instincts
of honor and justice, or with our
ideals of gentleness and love, no mat.
ter how those instincts and ideals
have been implanted or arrived at.
The man or woman who hopes to at
tain reflective happiness, as he works
his strenuous way through the world,
must bring all beliefs, old and new, to
this critical test, and must reject, or
refuse to entertain, beliefs which do
not stand the test.-President Eliot
of Harvard, in his Essay on "The Hap.
py Life"

dawn till dark, from sunrise in a burst
OF fiery splendor over the prairie hori-

thing hangs like a huge shield of

you may ride with naught to break
the view between you and the horizon

sky is there all right with the black
mote OF a meadow lark sailing the
