What Today Means to You

Today's aspects are rather ADVERSE
during the morning, and extreme care
and caution are necessary in order 10
avoid future difficulties or loss In
the afternoon the vibrations ausur
better conditions and favor forceful
and decided action, especially along
either artistic or social lines In
spiration must not be disregarded; !;
the opportunity to make new friends
must be seized.
A child born today will enjoy nor
NAL health, and will probably attain
it's majority without experiencing any
serious physical setback. 1t will be
headstrong and rather reckless. Care
must be taken to counteract these
tendencies. Discipline must be ex-
ercised, not, though. of the too Sc
we're variety. Recklessness in child
is often applauded by unthinking
adults as sign of courage; true
courage, however, is never careless,
and is only real when the chances OF
success or failure are fully appre-
ciated.
If today is your birthday, you pos
sess many attractive characteristics.
These have made for you many
friends and created many many deS1rae1e mandeE
however, why, with so many ad-
vantages, you have failed to attain
either commercial or social success.
Have you ever had the courage to
analyze your character and, hav1n
done so, realized that your indeci-
| sion is your greatest handicap?
The ability to decide will often give
an inferior mind command over a
superior mind. Learn to say mo" and
learn to say yes" Ignore any pos
sibility of middle ground. Deliberate
cautiously, but act decisively. "Heav-
en- never helps those who will not
act"
A person of decision may make
mistakes even after full considera-
| ton, but these mistakes become les
sons of wisdom. The man who never
| makes a mistake never accomplishes
anything worth while. To be weak
| in your power of decision is to be
shorn of most of your strength. Any
| one without the ability to decide be-
comes in time the plant tool and
victim of other people
| Decisivness is the result of habit
and is capable of being cultivated to
a high degree. Like many important
traits of character, it may be lost OF
gained by non-use or good use.

date are: Joseph Sheffield, merchant

Cost of Liberty.

Stand fast, therefore, and be not en-
tangled again in a yoke of bondage
Gal. 81.
Nothing is more difficult to preserve
than the true love of freedom in a
free country.
Being habituated to it, men cease
to consider by what sacrifices it was
obtained, and by what precautions and
safeguards it must be defended.
Liberty itself is the great lesson.
And in learning 1T we need teachers
the wise, the just. the free of all
ages
Most of all. we need the help of
religion, by which alone the founda-
tions of the state are laid in righteous
ness and democracy is saved from its
own suicidal tendencies.
For nothing is easier than that even
hard-won liberty should be filched
from those who do not realize it's
value.
A fool and his liberty are parted
rs promptly as a fool and his money.
The price of liberty must be paid
not only by those who first won it,
but also by those who maintain and
exercise it.
Otherwise they shall never pass it
on as it ought to be given to pos
terity; both unimpaired by misuse or
neglect, and increasingly hallowed by
the devotion of new lives.
