Butterfly Wings
What’s so startling about mod-
ern science being able to pre-
dict the weather five days in
advance ? Sixty years ago the
On the western prairies in the old frontier days fleetness
of foot was a highly prized skill among the native Indians.
Not only did swift running win honors in tribal games, but
it was a proven asset in the Indian way of life.
Young boys eager to attain speed and endurance asked
the older men of the tribe how best to achieve their goal.
The old Sioux told the youngsters to go out every summer
and cover their hearts with the colorful dust of butterfly
wings. Yes, it was that simple-—but the one thing the elders
would not do was to supply the wings. Each boy had to
catch his own butterflies.
Any man who ever spent part of his boyhood in a neigh-
borhood where he, too, chased butterflies across the fields
knows what that meant. Those who caught butterflies sum-
mer after summer became excellent runners.

TWENTY-NINTH ANNIVERSARY YEAR
Author of the following quotation is unknown.
Think it over:
“Humbly, yet with unassuming confidence, I rea-
lize that I am a living, thinking part of the universe.
From whence I came or why, or whither I go, I know
not.
“Sufficient to know that around me are human be-
ings with whose life mine is interwoven.
“Mine inner conscience prompts me to learn to
live in pleasant harmony with my fellows, and to serve
to the utmost of my ability in the task of increasing
the sum of human kindness.”

GOODWILL DOES IT
“Today the soulless man, or the soulless business,
cannot hope to long survive. The wise man of today
realizes that his real business is not trading in dollars
and cents—that his big job is selling himself to his
community. Business follows goodwill as surely as day
follows night.”
