WE GET WHAT WE GIVE

WE UEl WHAT WE 1--WE
1t is one of the Laws of Life that we re-
ceive from the world the same treatment
we give it.
If you're cold and formal and unsympa-
thetic you cannot expect to have intimate
companions. If you're grouchy, you make
those with whom you come in contact ir-
ritable and disagreeable.
Cheerfulness inspires good cheer and
optimism, hope and good fellowship.
Politeness secures courtesy. Suspicion en-
genders distrust, but confidence begets
faith, reliance, trust.
The friendly are never friendless.
The generous will never be long in want.
The sympathetic will always be encour-
aged.
Do unto others as you wish them to do
unto you-and they'll do it.
