deadly climate, which either kills or
prematurely ages the majority of white

Indeed it has often been nicknamed,
and with good cause, too, "the man

That the secretary of war should

declares that political control OF sa-

SERMONETTES

Dividing with love is always dou,
bling.
All great facts are due to some
great faith.
Tact without love is only form of
diplomacy.
Men who give up nothing give up
everything.
1t Is better to blurt out the truth
than to set a, lie to soft music.
There is no blessing to any bread
until it is broken and shared.
Only the doctrines that make deeda
are worth working over.
The man who lies down on you
never has any standing at all.
Too many think their hearts are up,
lifted because their heads feel light.
The most desolate lives are those
that are lived for life's furniture only.
Preaching dietetics is always the
forte of those who are out of bread.
The child who gives all gives more
than the richest who gives only a
part.
People soon know it when the man
who lifts up his lips let's his life run
down.
It's better being a hand car on the
right road than a private one on the
wrong.
IF
hearts come from climbing over con
science.
The pessimist usually thinks he is
a literary character because he weeps
ink.
1t is wonderful how sure you can
be as to the facts If you will keep one
eye shut.
Many a man feels that his indorse-
ment of a religion gives it it's pre-
eminence.
When man really gets truth he
ceases to be afraid either Of hell or
Of heaven.
People who blame Providence for
their crops are usually reticent as to
their sowing
Most of the burdens for which we
blame heaven are simply our own need
less baggage.
The best argument against the devil
is the one that eats into the profits
Of his business.
1t were better to suffer from eternal
justice than to enjoy amending bliss
on a crooked deal.
The wisdom of the world has always
come from the people who did not fear
being called fools.
Putting the divine names in caps
and man in nonpareil does not make
the world any better.
They who think there is only one
road to heaven usually want to put
toll gate at their station.
There's nothing of heaven In your
religion unless 1t lights up your home
with JOY and love.
