How much can you take home to God? Don’t count your possessions in silver or gold, Tomorrow we leave them behind; All that is yours to have and to hold Are the blessings you've given mankind. JiJst what have you done as you journeyed along That waff really and truly worthwhile? Will the good deeds you’ve done offset the wrong? Ogn you look over your life with a smile?

He comes into the world without his consent, and goes out against his will, and the trip between is exceedingly rocky. The rule of the contraries is one of the \ features of this trip. When he is liitW-o [ the big girls kiss him. When he is big the \ little girls kiss him. If he is poor he is a bad manager. If he is rich he is dishonest. If he needs credit he can’t get it. If hedis'prosperous^ everybody wants to do him a favor. If he is in politics it is for graft, I^ he is out of politics he is no good to the ] country. If he does not give to oharity he \ is a stingy cuss; if he does it is for show^ If he is actively religious he is a hypocrite, igion he is a hardened sinner. If he gives affection he is a soft speci-j i men. If h^fC^ss for no one he is cold blooded.
