success never comes to the man VINO

the long run, which makes o a bet

come from too close adherence to the
road Of business or from over-devotion
to your own personal i%nclinations.
Success depends upon a proper rec
ignition OF both. upon a compromise
between too strenuous business and too
great a willingness to do as you please
irrespective Of your duty.

at all when he was suddenly in the
light. When he was strong enough
to fly and the light did not hurt his
eyes, he thanked the woodpecker and
flew to his poplar tree.
And the next morning he got up very
early and started to sing. But it was
even a more dismal song han usual,
and. as Mr.. Owl had gone. home early
the night before and was fast asleep.
he did not hear Peter Crow.
Peter Crow was just beginning to feel
pretty well when he heard a little lark
laugh. Then the other birds began to
laugh. Peter Crow couldn't understand
1t. Then he happened to look down and
saw himself. He was jet black. The
hollow in the tree had been so dark
that he had turned black from being in
1t. Poor Peter Grow was so upset that
he stopped singing and hung his head.
From that time on. Peter Crows
song. got more and more dismal, and
instead OF singing as he used to, he
nearly always went around and just
kept on saying cav, cav" all the
time. And that is. what. the crows do
nearly all the time to this very day.

Making . Great Nation.

Not serried ranks with flags unfurled.
Not armored ships that grid the world,
Not boarded wealth or busy mills,
Not cattle on a thousand hills.
Not sages wise, or schools, or laws,
All these may be and yet the state
In OF God be far from great,
Whose SONS are guided by His word.
Where justice rules twixt man and man.
Where love controls In act and plan,
Where breathing in his native air
Each soul finds JOY In praise and

Thus may our country good and, great
Be Gods delight-man's best estate.
