AT. 6. 4, PREACHMENTS.WORK is one thing, worry another. How do you spend your Sundays?A rolling stone gets its rough corners worn off.The fellow that aint got time gets the least work done.Dont put it off till the end of the term. It doesnt work.Did you hear the lecture on the geography of Palestine?O, I forgot! is what the telegraph opera¬ tor said after the wreck.What do you think about the chronic bulletin board loafer?Rest is change of activity. Come to the Y. M. C. A. meetings one hour each week.Do you meet friends or just merely fellow students as you pass through the halls?Think last of your grades. Its what you know, and not what a prof, thinks you know, that counts.Think of your own faults the first half of the night and of the faults of others the sec¬ ond half of the night.Dont talk about your neighbors just talk about the profs.
