Miss Krauss very plainly tells Us the
results OF contact with Gods great

A sailors life Is generally one OF dan

friendship usually exist between him
and his mates, and he gives up his
own safety in order that someone else

We can see a difference In the life
OF the man who faces the elements In
engineering or exploring when COM

TO his work and home again. Training
In natures school Is one Of the best
ways OF coming in closer contact With
God.
