Religion is something to live;
not an issde to be debated.
Hard work is not always the
way to acquire a fortune.
Nearly everybody believes
that the other fellow is making
money.
The political campaign jif
1940 is already casting a shad
ow over the land.
The man who is too busy to
take care of his health will soon
have little health to care for.
The people who dislike hot
weather will soon have an op
portunity of enjoying cold
weather.
