No questions necessary.” WORDS OF J. R. LOWELL In the words of James Russell Lowell. "No man can produce great things who is not thoroughly sincere in dealing with himself, who would not exchange the finest show for the poorest realky, who does not so tow his work that he is not only gtod to give himself for it, but finds rather a gain than a sacrifice in the surrender.”

She finally came home and said. “Mama, I must be sick. My stomach hurts.” The busy mother noticed for the first time the untouched sandwich and milk and explained, “You didn’t eat your lunch. Your stomah is empty and that’s why it hurts.” While the little girl was curing her ache with the sandwich and milk, the minister arrived to talk over church plans with her mother. During their discussion, he mentioned that he had suffered from a headache all day. At this the little girl piped up, “That’s because your head is empty. If you just had something in it. Iwu’d be all risit.”
