AT RESOLUTIONS: - i
This season for good resolutions
reminds me of a story in a. book
by T. H. White, “The Sound in
, | the Stone.”

It goes something like this,
Very, very long jago, when the
earth was very young, God called
all the embryos (unborn and un-
developed young) together before

before Him, hands neat-

@ur advertisers, We hope that both have enj d and

every issue. We extend our thanks and appreciation for all the ly folded, bulging eyes

we have

‘|hands and under "your Eternal

Wisdom.”

God, greatly pleased with this
modesty, smiled and said: “Hav-
ing asked for nothing, you man,
are given everything. Being
pound by narrow physical, limi-
tations, to land, sea or air, you
will dominate all the earth and
all other living things. Go and be
born.”

I like this. story since it secs i
