Views and Reviews
BY RED LAND BILL.

DAA~A@'
Success comes only through failure.
The world holds no place for the
timid weakling.
Good intentions have never accom-
plished anything.
If you would be truly great you
must first be noble.
Good books are one of the best med
iums for the cultivation of pure thoughts
and high ideals.
Young man, what have you for sale,
brain or Drawn? Brains always sell at
a high premium.
God has given us life, mind and a
soul and He expects US to use them for
His glorification.
1t is not enough that we be honest
because it pays. There should be
stonger reasons than this lest our moral
natures become dwarfed.
Noble in mind, temperate in speech,
generous in thought, compassionate to-
ward fellow beings. These are some of
the characteristics of the noble.
Clean thoughts and right living
mean wholesome life. A wholesome
life means a sound mind and healthy
body. These are the fulfillment of the
end for which God created you.
The mechanism of the mind is a
thousand times more sensitive than the
most delicate instrument ever devised
by the art of man, yet we use it in the
most reckless manner. Is it any wonder
that We sometimes slip cog.
