The Virtue of TraMeIinn

There are two great fallacies based
on ancient and rusty saws it were
noble deed to demolish. One is that
travelling is a form of wrongdoing.
founded belize on the stupid saying
that a rolling stone gathers no moss.
A pertinent reply would be that
messy stone is never highly polished
and that stone is not proper place
for moss, anyway. The other undermin-
ing caution is that one ought to see
ones own new country before one sees
the wealth of the old countries. I'm
less on business bent. there is no
earthly reason why one who can at
ford to travel should not begin at
once with the richest and most beau
tfful countries. with Italy and Greece.
Life is short and uncertain: one can
not tell what may happen to deprive
one of sight and health and means day
after tomorrow. therefore it is well to
see and enjoy the best while one can.

He had seen one riding on the trucks

Of Leigh Street Baptist church, al
dressing his congregation Sunday
night on the value of time and the
importance of the fact that yester-

Rockefeller is now getting old but
his millions do not mean AS much To
him as life. The heart beat is the
dearest thing on earth to mortals and
but few OF us are yelling TO go when
IL ceases to thrah. Every man should
therefore make the best of his op-
portunity, for he. knows not when the
night cometh.H
DR. Wicker intersperscd his sermon

heard with deepest attention by the
large congregation that assembled in
