I'VE need Z little more laughter

he said, "but the trifler laughs at
the wrong time. The difference be-
tween the trifler and the man of
moral earnestness is that the trifler
treats little things as If they were
big. The earnest man puts first

in the world we have q perfect right
to make light Of. You will do well
to make light Of the ridicu!e Of those
who would laugh you out of your
convictions. It is better by far that
you be laughed at for doing q wise
thing than to be applauded for do
ing q foolish thing.
while there are things we ought
to trifle with there are other things
we cannot afford to trifle WITH" he
continued. "You cannot afford to
trifle with your conscience. There Is,
within every one Of you, q voice that
tells you what you ought to do and
what you ought to shun. It is the
voice Of God speaking to your soul.

any law Of God is to be a fool. BE
