Some Nohle is sure to ask you some
question. It is better to answer it
with the truth. He would not ask if
he did not already know the right an
swer. Open the seacocks of your cars and
let jour understanding be drowned in
a flood of wisdom.
Remember that where your feet are
your body will be found.
Admitting that a monkey wa? one
of his ancestors, the Novice should no"
speak disrespectfully of the jackass.
Don't pin back your ears and run
amuck. The (rnnir will simply unpin
them and go ahead with whatever it
was that roiled you.
There are a lot of mysteries ahead
deep, dark, dank, but never dreary;
never.
Put thy faith in Allah and hold to
the rope. If you let loose of either,
don't overlook the rope.
When you are asked to sing, you

You get the right to wear a Fez and

No member of the Patrol under

It is ?. pity so few kinds of trees

'Few kinds? Why practically

people will plant them the trees will
grow, but you ean't expect a tree
to plant itself for a tree lsnt a

"Why, the trees, set so primly and
so sparsely always close to a dwell

toy trees that come with Children's
N'oah's Ark; also the people seem to
put them Just as precisely as young
sters place them, and they all seem

I told him "a clump of trees about
