Life's Many Phases.
m the Contact Magazine.

From the Contact Magazine.
Some one has said that life is
either hope or a memory, and that
does seem true. How very seldom do
we see persons who are absolutely
satisfied with their present condi-
ton. They are either planning for
the future or recalling other days in
their happiest moments, and the pres
ent seems to be only a place from
which to look backward or forward.
Perhaps 1t is good thing this is
so, for effort is the soul of achieve
ment, and while we may reach our
longed-for goals, they should prove
merely stepping stones to greater en-
deavor if weIare to reach the highest
peaks of success.
