I would realize that speculations

I would realize that speculations seldom make permanent fortunes.

I have often read of young men and young women inheriting fortunes from their kindred. I never heard of such fortunes doing permanent service to those who came into possession of them. I would never sit down to live off a fortune.

I would not he ambitious to build a home half as big as a township. I would not do this if I had the money. I would not put this in my plan. A well-known society has frequently been singing during the last few years about aspiring to a cottage by the road to be a friend to man. Poets would not say this was good poetry but I believe the doctrines are good.

I would learn as early as 1 could that whatever came to me must come in joy and sorrow as a part of my life.

I would learn that joys cannot be compelled to appear and sorrows cannot forever be avoided.

I would try to have the common sense to enjoy my joys and the fortitude to endure my sorrows. —I would not be moving every_ month of the year.

I would not be in a hurry to leave the place where I was born. It is the thought of the young American that he must break away and go into new fields. Many have adopted this plan. I would not object to staying at home.

I would not object to my habitation having a name.

I would think it were a delight to remember the old trees and the grass.

I would fight the good fight.

I would aspire to having a wife and children, thus L would have a home.

If 1 were able to do so I would want to travel to see the interesting parts of the world.

I would never repudiate a debt.

1 would never lie to anybody.

I’d know something about the sky. I would know all that science could tell about the beginning of everything.

I would do everything to maintain health.

I would read good books.

I would rejoice if my children could make music on instruments or with their voices.

I would realize from the oppor-' tunities afforded by America and the lives of our great Americans that there was no place on earth
