WORDS OF WISDOM.

Stability wins." Tact is not policy. There are no harmless sins. Deceit at last deceives itself. Fortune fails him who fears. Expediency is seldom expedient. Indulging self sorrow. Crookedness cannot be consecrated. He who will not obey cannot be free. The true instructor learns more than he teaches. A double-minded man is but halfwitted. A troubled conscience makes a hard pillow. You cannot purify the tenant by painting the house. If every bridal moon saw the bridling of the tongue happier homes would be the result. Greatness is not so much in ability to plan masterpieces as in persistency in pursuing them.—Ram’s Horn.
