Judgment. When a person builds a
house he should remember that storms
blow hard and fire destroys. If he be
a wise builder he will take precau
tions and have lightning rods placed
on the roof of his house and will seek
protection against fire and storms
through adequate Insurance. If he
does this he will be secured against
the ravages of the elements, if he
fails so to do, whose fault Is it If the
elements play havoc with his build
ing? He certainly cannot Justly place
the blame upon anybody but himself.

house built upon sand can withstand
the havoc of storms.
While self-pity dominates the minds
of some persons, the contrary attitude*
Is discovered In other experiences. A
man who suffered a very heavy loss
financially, remarked that perhaps It
was worth It, because he discovered

Tapestries are considered woven tex

different type from regular weaving,
even hand weaving as it Is known to
day. It Is, of course, woven by hand,

the most famous of all tapestries Is
not actually a tapestry In the strict

husband William the Conqueror's ex

needle. There are people, ships, ani

makes up for It, being 227 feet The

It Is this embroidered tapestry which
lends sanction to the thought of mod

be of rare beauty provided the worker
