Beniomin Frqnklin
Ben Franklin said, "Time Is Money," but he meant when time is employed at some worthwhile work. Ben was the most useful and practical man this nation has ever produced. He was a great scientist, a great linguist, a great diplomat, a famous swimmer, a great philosopher, a great patriot, a great businessman, a great citizen. He went to France and borrowed the money that Washington needed to win the Revolutionary war. He built the first cookstove, invented the first spectacles, founded the University of Pennsylvania, founded the first public library, harnessed the lightning in a modest way, and became the richest man of his day and generation. He was the one great printer of his time.
Ben Franklin worshipped two gods here on earth-work and thrift. lle was the greatest preacher, teacher, and practicer of thrift this nation has ever known. He believed that from thrift all good things come, and that few good things come without it. With regard to religion, this great thinker had the simplest of beliefs. He said he believed that the Power that made him and put him here and cared for him here was well able to care for hirn wherever he was going when he left here, and he did not propose to worry on the matter.
Mony Moslems
The largest Moslem country in the world is Indonesia. More than 90 per cent of its population of 83,000,000 is of that faith. Pakistan is next, with some 64 million Moslems out of a total population of 78 million.
The Gift We Mcrke
You gave him gold? Well, what of that? You left him still in need. A kindly word, a friendly smile, Had been a better deed.
-E. J. Boyle
His Best
A man who stuttered went to a doctor to see if anything could be done about curing him of the habit. The doctor gave him a lot of aplitude and other tests, and finally told him:
"I think I could cure you, but don't believe it would be wise. You see, the only thing that yo.u do well, is stutter."
The Meoning?
An innocent traveling salesman wants to know what is meant by a sign he says he saw posted at the entrance to an attractive glen in a park, that read-"NO PARKIN' OR NOTHIN'.''

Finding God
The little lonely souls go by, Seeking their God who lives on high, With conscious step and hat and all, As if on Him they meant to call, In some sad ceremonial. But I, who am a pagan child, Who knows how dying Plato smiled, And how Confucius lessoned Kings, And of the Buddha's wanderings, Find God in very usual things.
-Harry Romaine.
The Need of Americo
The need of America is not for men who can lift blocks of marble to the fortieth story of some great building, but for men who will lift the level of character-not men who dot the seas with the while sails of commerce, but for the men who in their everyday living exemplify those homely virtues, those old-fashioned verities, which in the last analysis alone can bring happiness into the life of the individual, or build perpetuity in our civilization. The time has come when we must understand. as never before that there is an everlasting difference between making a living and making a life. Life is not a goblet to be drained; it is a cup to be filled. The great need of America today is not for men who will add to the quantity of our materials, but men who will add to the quality of our living.-Dr. W. W. Youngston.
"Oh, Nof!"
A Filipino school teacher in the Islands wrote a letter of resignation to the white superintendent, that read:
"I wish to resignate. My works are too many, and my salaries are too few. Moreover, my principal makes many lovings to me, to which I say 'Oh, Not !' "
Sociql Securiry
Consider the cow, with her poise and urbanity, Doing her share of the world of humanity; Her bed and her board and her background of scenery, Supplied by adjacent and succulent greenery. The cow may regard with the utmost passivity, Methods and plans to control productivity. Her function is one of complete spontaniety, Ruled by a kind and beneficent Deity. Having no duties beyond her ability, Hers is a world of utmost stability. Cared for by others from birth to maturity, A perfect example of social security.
