I I I MILL II How Alive are You ? If you never play games for the fun of playing, your faithful spirit is dead. If you do not take time occasionally to enjoy a beautiful picture, an inspiring sunset, noble music, you are dead to art. If you have only business dealings with people you meet, you are dead to fellowship and friendship. If you can't tell the difference between the fragrance of an orange grove and a smoking car, your sense of smell is dead. If you never pray except when in trouble, your religion is dying. If you do not breathe deeply and assimilate your meals properly, your body is dying. We are alive in proportion to the variety and vitality of our interests, our responsiveness to our surtoundings.
