If your heart is touched and tender Towards sinner log and low, It might help him to do better If you could only tell him so.

4.
Those old faces, in Pasadena, California, and Tucson, Arizona, and Dallas, crumpling in hatred and fear at the mention of the United Nations or those liberals in government who constitute for them the fifth column of communism, yearn for an America that is as far from the society of the present as is the extended family system in village India.

I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston

Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.
Disraeli, Benjamin

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Jerome, St.

30.
