WORDS OF WISE MEN

It is praiseworthy even to attempt . great activity. A man should keep his friendships h constant repair. He that laughs at me today may have one to laugh at him tomorrow. Not cur age, but what we accom- plish. Is the just measure of our length of life.
 A person who harbors no resent ment Is usually safe In the harbor of contentment.
 Every good deed that we do is not only present pleasure. but a support for the future.
 Life Is book of many wonders and should be found clean and wholesome In every mans library.
 There are no incidents SO unfortu- nate that skillful men will not draw from them some advantage.
 If we were handed back all we had given and compelled to live on 1t for . time many would soon starve.
 Never tell evil of a man. If you do not know 1t for certainty. then ask yourself. Why should l tell it?"
 Some people are more learned than wise. To be useful all learning must be blended with much common sense.
 We all lower ourselves by our eager ness to grub up faults in other peo- ple's characters. writings. doings or religious opinions. If we do not learn some things that are not In books, we shall fail. but If we do not learn some things In books. we shall not go far.
 We would live In a vastly more con- genial world If only we were looking among our fellow men for l!kenesses, instead of differences.
 It is idleness that creates impOssi- bilities. and where men care not to do a thing they shelter themselves under a persuasion that 1t cannot be done.
 We need not be afraid that we shall go too far in serving others. There Is no likelihood that any of us will become too bountiful. too kind. too helpful to his neighbor.

w of life upon the moon will
always be sure Of thrilling his
hearers. Everybody knows that
the moon is very near to the
earth, as astronomical distances
go; in fact, it is hardly more than
terrestrial distance that is con-
cerned; ten times around the
earth being rather more than
once from the earth to the moon.
Moreover, the moon, there is
reason to believe, is physically
the child Of the earth-bone Of its
bone. Why, then. shouldn't it
have life as we'll as its mother?
When you look at the moon

fifty diameters, you are aston.

Yet the moon looks like an abal-
doned earth-white and cold. and
barren, a world Of chalk noun
tains and stern. dried-up plains.
Besides. it has Undergone the
most fearful catastrophe that a
world could pass through and yet
retain the form of a globe, and
the marks OF this catastrophe ars
everywhere visible on its wonder
full surface. Some of the larger
lunar scars you can rec with an
ordinary binocular or even an

They are like shell.holes. from
thirty to eighty miles across,
and several miles in depth. In
