The Strenuous Life

. Lord, we most of all give thanks
That this, thy world, is incomplete;
That battle calls our marshaled ranks,
That work awaits our hands and feet
That thou hast not yet finished man.
That we are in the making still;
AS friends who share the Makers plan,
AS sons who know the Fathers will
We see the end at which we aim
Wrongs bitter, cruel, searching blight
Beyond the present sin and shame,
The blessed kingdom of the Right
What though it's coming long delay
With naughty foes it still must cope!
1t gives us that for which we pray,
A field for toll and faith and hope
Since what we choose is what we are,
And what we love we yet shall be,
The goal may ever shine affair."
The will to win it makes us free

Dear Sirs: Nobody insures a 1000
house for $4,000, because everybody
knows that the company pays only
for the damage, whatever that was,
and no more.
If people knew that it costs twice
as much to paint with S1.25 paint as
with SITS, there wouldn't be much
s1.25 painting done.
There are people who think Slips is
cheap for paint, and they paint their
houses with it; two gallons for one.
1t takes two gallons of S1.25 paint to
make one gallon SITS; and it costs
So a gallon to paint it.
One gallon $1.75; IS for putting it
on; SAFE. That's the job.
Two gallons s1.25 each, $780,; Sc
for putting it on; $3.50. That's that
job.
1t isn't worth while to insure a
1000 house for $4,000; it isn't worth
while to paint two gallons for one. 1t
takes money to pay for that extra
$1,000 that never can come; better
