kind of a religion you build for
yourself If fear dominates your
other acts, it will also dominate
your religious thought. Your re-

Every day some nice girl

There never yet lived a woman
who didn't believe that a man
would just love to know her
better, if he were not so shy

But we women flatter our
selves. For there never yet
lived a man who was afraid
of anything on earth, except
that he might not GET the
woman he wanted.
Nothing discourages q man

except too much encourage

Love is a minuet in which
when woman takes a step
forward a man takes two steps
backward. This is not q mas
culine phenomenon; it's just
human nature. And men are
SO human!
Lots Of girls, these days,

to attract men. That is about
as foolish as imagining that
you are too beautiful" or too
young"
You can't freeze a mans love
out-but you can choke out the

attacks and rejects even the n.y.
drostic equilibrium theory. He
sums up his own conclusions in
the Journal Of Geology, as fol-
lows:

misinterpretation. The continents

foundations. They do not float

"2. The earth is a heterogene-

80. The most vital agency in

the reorganization Of it's hetero-

-. The earth is better organ

and in the elastic properties of

; neglect this life in a lazy manner
dreaming OF an unknown one?
Answer-For exactly the same
reason that you're using my time
and your own to ask these QueSo
tions. Partly because they want
to be amused partly because
they have a genuine thirst for
knowledge-and partly because
they hate to do their regular
chores.
Question-Is not one life at q
time enough to take care Of?
Answer-What do you mean by
zone life at a time? How do
you know when this life begins
or when it ends? How can you
prove that the disembodied life
isn't merely a continuation of this
life? How far into the future do
the acts of this day probject their
consequences? You cannot tell.
Then why limit speculation by
the endurance OF your lung 40
ton?
Question - Did the only true
Christian die on the CROSSE
Answer-The only true Chris.
tan died on q cross. But all Of
us die on some cross, some time.
In view Of which fact it might be
well to be a Christian. Or at
least q good imitation.
Question-Why will the major.
ity hate these questions?
Answer They won't. They
probably won't even read 'em.
