There are three things a man must have in order to realize the fullness of life, and its meaning. First, a faith which will carry him through every storm without fear or despair. Second, a goal in life, which, like a beacon light, shall always shine in the distance, and draw him irresistibly. Third, a sense of humor which will teach him to establish right values. Having this he will learn to win and lose, and he will know that both are life-that one cannot be without the other.

We've printed this in these columns before, but the philosophy of Lincoln seems particularly appropriate during his birthday season: "You cannot bring about prosperity by,discouraging thrift; you cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong; you cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer; you cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred; you cannot help the poor by destroying the rich; you cannot establish sound security on borrowed money; you cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn; you cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence; you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."

And, a smile in closing, Herb Shriner, humorist, says we should change the name of the A-bomb to H-bomb. because that's where it'll blow us.
