The former guesswork or worry

The Certo process is endorsed by

And now, when we get discontented

that will help those of us who let the

And that is the only trouble with it

Of most of the things that make us
discontented, will prove an effective
cure. But the fact that it has worked
well for centuries does not commend it
to us. Instead. it makes us disregard
it with the platitudcs. We want some
thing new.
Then every once in n while something
does happen that shocks us to the core,
that shakes us out of our intolerance
and gives us true perspective, that
brings home hard the truth of how well
off we reGlly are and now happy and
contented and thankful we should be.
