was requested TO produce her titles to
a regular pension. Later she received

time you should receive the sum of 900
francs and each of your children 900

All these characteristics and many
others that might be named are formed
everywherc-in the family, in the church
and in every community and tempera-
ment affects men in everything. All men
are in chains. Some have less restraint
and more liberty than others, but none
is free.
Paul had a great deal of liberty for a
Roman prisoner. but he was in chains.
Many have great liberty III this world s

bonds.
Where all are prisoners. each should re-
member the bonds Of the others and give
consideration to every kind and characte

Most OF our harsh judgments OF others
are formed because we do not remember
the chains that limit the opportunity and
capacity.
Judge not, that ye be not judged"
Forget, IL you can, your own bonds and
work as Paul did to the utmost length OF

The environments of life are prisons
the experiences of life's education are
chains. The lot that falls to US In the
kind of people we have to live with has
much to do with our success or failure.
Our judgment of men must take these
things into consideration. Those living
in happy homes and surrounded by
happy influences often fall TO make al
