Mirth Is God's Medicine; Everybody Ought To Bathe In It. Grim Care, Moroseness, Anxiety-all The Rust Of Life- Ought To Be Scoured Off By The Oil Of Mirth.

Even The Men Most Richly Endowed With Ability, Education, And Opportunity, Even The Giants Of The Race, After The Completest Life Possible, Feel, As They Stand On The Edge Of The Grave, That They Are But Human Acorns With All Their Possibilities Still In Them, Just Beginning To Sprout.

There Is A Legend Of An Artist Who Long Sought For A Piece Of Sandalwood, Out Of Which To Carve A Madonna. He Was About To Give Up In Despair, Leaving The Vision Of His Life Unrealized, When In A Dream He Was Bidden To Carve His Madonna From A Block Of Oak Wood Which Was Destined For The Fire. He Obeyed And Produced A Masterpiece From A Log Of Common Firewood. Many Of Us Lose Great Opportunities In Life By Waiting To Find Sandalwood For Our Carvings, When They Really Lie Hidden In The Common Logs That We Burn.
