SCRIPTURE
Proverbs II: 1921


He that is void of wisdom despiseth
his neighbor: but a man Of understand
ing holdeth his peace.
A talebearer revealeth secrets: but
he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth
the matter
Where no counsel is, the people fall:
but in the multitude of councillors
there is safety
He that is surety for a stranger shall
smart for it: and he that hateth sure
tyship is sure.
A gracious woman retalneth honour:
and strong men retain riches.
The merciful man doeth good to his
own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth
his own flesh.
The wicked worketh a deceitful work:
but to him that soweth righteousness
shall be a sure reward.
AS righteousness tendeth to life: so
he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his
own death.
They that are of froward heart are
abomination to the Lord: but such as
are upright in their way are his delight.
Though hand join in hand, the wicked
shall not be unpublished. but the seed
of the righteous shall be delivered.

The Habit of Quitting

Here is a story for the boys of this generation
and for their parents. Charlie Richmond a
Phoenix boy who has attained success mining
and civil engineer professions which have opened to
him profitable employment in Central and South
American countries The turning point in his career
occurred morning twenty-five years ago when
he nine ten years old He of the many

ferment Those who had the stuff in them rose.
Those who did not have it or who had proper
direction advanced to positions front of
bars and in pool halls and became adept cigarette
fends and loafers though some partly retrieved a
msspent youth and of necessity became day laborers.
Charlie Rchmond's father outfitted him for the
business of a newspaper carrier. He him pony,
bought him saddle and bride and quirt and what
boy might think he needed. He was con-
scientious carrier and nobody about The Republican
guessed at the the ribulations Charlie endured when

One morning when his father called him Charlie

He was going to quit. boy of mine be a
gutter" said Mr. Richmond. This is the first job
you've had and if you quit it you'll quit every
thing you undertake. This you than
you think. Get up! Be a newspaper carrier till you

Charlie crawed out. still grumblng, for the
time winter and the morning dark and chilly
