NOTES. Hurry not only spoils work, but spoils life, also. — Lubbock. Ignorance shuts its eyes and imagines it is right. "Truth and justice are no protection against malice. Envy is blind to all objects save other men's happiness." Say what you will of the coldness and selfishness of men, at the last we long for companionship and the fellowship of our kind. We are lost children, and when alone and the darkness begins to gather, we long for the close relationship of the brothers and sisters we knew in our childhood, and cry for the gentle arms that once rocked us to sleep. Men are home-sick amid this sad, mad rush for wealth, and place and power. The calm of the country invites and we would fain do with less things, and go back to simplicity, and rest our tired heads in the lap of mother nature. — Elbert Hubbard. "Pearl of Great Price, pp. 67, 68.
