The law of life is the law of progress. It was the prophet Elijah who said: "It is enough; now, Oh Lord, take my life, for I im, no better thirn my fathers.',

Peter B. KSme once *t;" lo,rLrrrtn, a mutual friend of ours, novy dead: "He has known sorrow and ingratitude and treachery and broken faith and unrequited love and a long Gethsemane of pain, yet he has never been embittered, nor ever spoken ill of anyone." What an epitaph !

And then, of course, there was a crook who not only refused to pay the dentist for his set of false teeth, but actually gnashed the unpaid-for teeth at him.

A man with a ,"prrt"tiol ,J, j"rr"ro.ity and fair dealing can get a better trade out of any man any time than can the well known tight-wad. There is absolutely no good return from meanness and miserliness.

And then there was the rich man who snored, and who advertised for an attractive wife who must be deaf but not dumb.

Henry George said: "The more you study the question, the more you will see that the true law of social life is the law of love, the law of liberty, the law of each for all and all for each; that the golden rule of morals is also the golden rule of the science of wealth; that the highest expression of religious truth includes the widest generalizations of political economy."

The great Dr. Johnson said: .,Life affords no greater pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties. He that labors in any great or laudable undertaking has his fatigues first supported by hope, and afterwards rewarded by joy.', rF**

The reason that famous statue ',The Thinker" shows a man sitting with his chin in his hand, is that when you sit that way your hand folds your mouth shut and keeps you from disturbing your own thoughts by talking at the wrong time.

Henry Ford once said: "The greatness of this country is built on the ability to solve problems that don't have any answer printed in the back of the book."

The basic weakness .";, ;; eventuauy destroy both Nazism and Communism, is lack of spirituality-lack of religion. A great nation of atheists is an impossibility. The basic principle of such a society must needs be selfishness, and from such a foundation no mighty or permanent structure will ever rise. Hitler is but an incident in the history of nations. But religion is the very life of those nations. Man, at heart, is a creature that requires sentiment, and religion is the deepest, most ineradicable sentiment of the human heart. Strike out religion and you reduce a nation to the level of educated beasts. Annul the power that draws a nation upward, and they sink back to savagery. Where there is no Fatherhood of God there can be no Brotherhood of Man. The dictators may try as they will to erase religion from the human heart, but the effort will finally be in vain, and the adoration of a Supreme Power will remain the divine perfume of the soul.

F. G. HANSON IN EAST

Francis G. Hanson of West Coast Screen Co., Los Angeles, left August 26 on one of his periodical trips around the country for the purpose of promoting the sale of his company's famous Hollywood Door.
