 The Q. Q. NJ. of Life. | Dr. Sheldon took as the subject of his address, @. Q. M., the Three Sides of an Equilateral Triangle He spoke of the game of life as com pared to football game and said the signals are the numbers 54365-4 and 1. The total makes 100. Out of 100 men he sand 54 are broke, 36 are dead and buried before they are 65 years of age, having committed slow aui- eide by their mode of living; five are working every day but are so close to the dead line that they would be broke if they lost weeks wages: | four are living comfortably and only one out of the hundred is rich. The reason for this is due to the fact, ac- l cording to the noted educator, that | only one out of the 100 has learned that the belief that the feeling that the way to get ahead is by being sell fish is false belief.
 ! No Fire-No Heat.
 "A little service, a little pay, more service more pay" is the way tkworks out, he said. He described the prin- cipes of some people by comparing them to man entering cold house. Some persons sit around and com plain of the cold, others wish there was heat, some people strike match look at the furnace and decide there is no hope, the fire is out. The one man in 100 goes to work starts fire and gets the heat. Some people are so busy hunting for heat, they haven't time to start a fire"
 High Sign Of Service.
 Explaining the theory of c. Q. Nj, he described these letters as "The high sign of service" The first c stands for quality, which he declared was as essential to service as one of the ones in three. And the greatest mathematicians in the world can't make three if they leave out one of the ones" he said. Slip shod work is not service"
 The second Q stands for quantity. Instead of getting tired out trying to find the match the second Q starts the fire.
 The NJ stands for mode of conduct and all three together make service, without which success is impossible. We attartct the good things of life by the quality and quantity of service and our mode of living he said
