in the rodeo business. As

the same time there should
be an upward swing. It is
this that will elevate us to
higher levels of true living.
If we are seeking for
standards that will merit our
efforts we can find them in
the Beatitudes, and the Ser-
mon on the Mount. Jesus
tried these out in his own
life and found them to be
workable before recommend-
ing them to others. Either
the Beatitudes or the Ser-
mon on the Mount contain
enough suggestions for a
well rounded Christian life.
When they are fully applied
then there will be no doubt
as to one’s relationship to
God. These teachings of Je-
sus are simple but at the
same time there is enough in
them to keep a person busy
twenty-four hours a day. In
(them the answer can be
found to so many of the puz-
zling questions of life.
What is the use of having
standards? Why not resolve
to do as well a* we can and

Two pool tables and two
ping pong tables have been
purchased by the local post
of Veterans of Foreign Wars
and have been placed in

North Sixth street. This

they produce must conform

The elementary school, the
high school, and the college
must meet various require-
ments before being accred-
ited. But in the realm of
life an individual can live
without being compelled to
set up particular standards.
Since we live* m a democracy
he will need to do this on his
own accord. It is purely a
voluntary matter, but one
that deserves his attention.
If wt set up our own
standards then upon what
are we going to base them?
That will depend upon our
own capacity. This varies in
individuals. Thus it is not
always wise to judge our
work in the light of what
others are accomplishing,
but according to what we
are capable of doing. One
person may be exerting all
the energy that he possesses
in a given task, while an-
other person might do the
same thing with Httle effort.
Therefore, it is the responsi-
bility of each one to reach
his highest capacity.
Through self-inspection we
can determine whether we
are doing this or not. In th#1
event that we are failing to
expand ourselves to the
greatest degree, then we
may possess possibilities
that will never materialize.
There wiil be resources in
our lives'that will remain
untapped.
Let us set our standards
high, and be satisfied with
nothing short of reaching
them. This will bring about
