THE MAN WHO TALKS

saw days In the year, ana frame up
our code OF good Intentions and sooE
forget them. There IS one good reso-
luton that has dollars and cents IL
1T the resolution of the newly welded
TO he true and to pull together. The
habit of condding in one another, plaIs-
ming together and being true partners
-and Hene-ipays in the end. TrGe;
matrimony Is well balanced. Those
who marry to be maintafned-to DE
a buPden-Get all that comes to fools
Tor their folly. Matrimony should
really be q synonym of mutually.
There Is pleasure In trusting and hop
ing and wishing together. There Is
everything idiscouraging In separate
interests and pulling apart. If you do

sAer cant see his way clear to pull with
you. surprise him by pulling with him.,
The way of least friction is the cas-
lest way to success.

to our own defects and be patient with
cur enemies. Tolerance like charity,
begins at home. We all have our de-
fects-they are just as natural to us
as hair or finger nails. 1t helps US
to not only be conscious Of the fact

out to others. The better we know
ourselves the more conscious we be-
come of this truth Whoever thinks OF

which may become ovtrpowering' ARD
he who thinks he IS base IS fostering
a blight. Men and women should think
Of themselves as sons and daughters
OF God, since we are now In the age
which accredits women as possessing
souls, and cultivate the inspiration
which adds hope and strength TO the
mind. It is a mistake to groYe1 or TO
look down sing 5oyfully and look up.
Saint Bernard imagined he'll was
