On the Summit of a Hill in a
Western State

Is a courthouse so situated Eve have heard
an old friend say that the raindrops falling
m one side of the roof descend to Lake Erie,
thence to the Atlantic, and the drops on the
other side of the roof trickle down from
riyulet to river until they reach the Ohio and
the Mississippi and enter the ocean by the
Gulf of Mexico.
The writer's old friend, Theodore L.
Cuyler, used to say that "faint breath of
wind determined the destination of these
raindrOps for three thousand miles,
How many small incidents in our lives
have shaped our years!
How much many of us would have been
benefited by the faint breath of wind" and
the little tears in a mothers voice as we'll as
her eyes!
There are lot of crossroads in human
life where we must decide carefully on
which turn to take.

 One of the noblest souls ever knew was vaule vile actress who began life as waif strugglS1 up lsngle-handed, and ke herself unspotted.
 One way to soul is to pack it in cotton and keep it in glass globe. Another way is to render 1t antiseDtc and send 1t forth into untoward world
 What modern souls want is not to be secure. They want to be great.
 Any theology tell you what to do to be secure, But there is only one way to be great to have strength that be depended upon in crisis to have the kind of happiness that cannot be bowed by strengthen and do not disturb and to have the kind of purity that comes from wisdom and not from ignor- ance and that way is to accept responsibilities grappe them and bear them nobly.
