Learning Through Trials.

God educates men by casting them
upon their own resources. Man learns
to swim by being tossed into life's
raaelstrom and left to make his way
ashore. No youth can learn to sail
his life-craft In lake seQuestered
and sheltered from all storms. where
other vessels never come. Skill
comes through sailing ones craft
amidst rocks and bars and opposing
fleets. amidst storms and whirls and
counter-currents. Responsibility alone
drives man to toll and brings out his
best.-Eewel Dwight Hills.
