No Other Loss Counts Up
So Heavily as
' that of time wasted upon nothingness. Do you
remember the name of the famous Queen who,
when told by her medical adviser that she had
not long to live, saidi "A million of pounds for a
minute of time"?
"Come day, go day!"
As is today, so will be tomorrow.
Daylight, dawn and nightfall chase each
other hard, and before we know it one-seventh
of the week is gone.
A noted citizen of Philadelphia ha$ a
document drawn to give away two millions of
dollars, which he had ready and really wanted
to give. Not being sick or ailing, he postponed
for a day the signing of the paper, and was
taken off suddenly, and the gift to education
was lost.
Signed
June SO, 1921.
