"The Human Adverb in the Sentence

And thou mayest add thereto" The
gist Of the story that led up to this

King David had been gathering the
material- for the Temple of God. He
was about through with this life. and
desirei that his son Solomon continue
the work Hence the words Thou
mayst add thereto" Progress is a mat
ter OF addition. In the realm Of Ian
guage the adverb is word added to
the verb to lend greater meaning upon
one hand and upon the other to detract
| from the meaning OF the verb. Sum
ming up life is great deal like ana.

luster to that which has gone before

sweeps downwards that ended in a

down. War is an adverb that takes
from the meaning Of life. But CON
anuittent with the spirit of war was
tNr altruistic spirit that sweeps to

and transcending sublimity to life.
BY this I do not mean that war is

only conscious Of the meaning OF

Men everywhere think these are the
hard times, vet II they just put on

back to the day when all the living eN.
ponse would not assume such large

TO the great line OF life you have got
to smile and charge the atmosphere

that the house had come into the
