None of us are standing. still. In these modern
strenuous times there is no middle ground. We are
either progressing or retrograding; we are either going
forward or backward. To which class do you belong.
Are you'spend'ng more than you make? If you are
doing this; or even if you are merely spending all you
make, you belong to the down hil! class, for you are los
ing the opportunity to lay up something for the future
every day that passes. ‘‘The mill will never grind with
water that has passed.”’
On the other hand, if you are saving persistently
and systematically, be it ever so little, you are not a
drone but are on the road to independence, and will
some day be a power in the land, for there never was a
trurer saying than ‘‘money is power.”’
Let us help you on the up-hill or progressive road.

NATURE’S LAWS
: T‘ W‘ M. !
The laws of Nature are supremne,
Yet intricate beyond compare;
;Unlike man’s, founded on a theme, /
The hand Divine is ever there.
These laws doth govern all things well,,
In air, on land and sea;
They make the tide t> fall, to swell,
The mootntains and rivers are their
decree
The sun to shine within its realm, :
Each star a universe;
With God the pilot at the helm,
To guide them in their course.
Brings forth the buds to bloom and fruit,
As the seasons come and go;
The seed to fall and suezor,root,
The dews and rains to make them grow,
Even unto man, God’s noblest work,
Do these great laws extend;
Nor can their power mortals shirk,
They must endure unto the end.
i
Always. $
A little learning is a dangerous
thing ‘when the man who bas none
tries to beat It. , i
