Ing within - like intuition: he
who believes without knowing
how or why, has faith. Without
this inner strength and support,
life is indeed an unhappy affair,
without resting places and props
for daily living. In fact, one seems
to spend it in space when he has
nothing within to give confidence
Faith is not matter of addition.
And yet, even those who think
they have no faith, show that
they have it in many different
ways. One of the greatest proofs
of this faith is shown by the gar
dener, thus:
He who plants seed from
beneath the sod
And waits for it to push its
way up through the clod,
Has faith in God.

Beauty Hints by Nina Temple
Slender Waistline

Any woman may have a slender
waistline who is willing to do a
few exercises daily thus: Stand
erect with feet apart, hands at
back of neck, then, twist the body
from right to left many times
forcefully Then, bend forward,
backwards, left and right many
times. Now, lie on your stomach,
arms close to your side and then,
rock the body like a cradle, back
and forth and from side to side.
You will be amazed when you
measure your waistline.
Wise Sayings:
Life has always been divided
between the whippers and the
whipt.
He who is born with silver
spoon SCOTS at the wooden ladle.
A peacock deplumed is but a
barnyard fowl.
