You may find him on the shelf--in the corner--or on the wall. In the cities he is displayed on a prominent tower or steeple where he may look down and observe the follies of mankind. He has seen joy, happiness, love and light, starvation, murder and war--yet his expression never changes. He is always calm and serene--nothing has happened that he has not seen before and he knows no mat- ter how joyful or how dreadful conditions may be, they will pass. In the home, he sees the courtships, marriages--happy families and unhappy ones, he observesfthe misunderstandings and quarrels in homes which lead to tragic partipgs. Ee sees a city grow in industry--boom--and cease to grow. He sees great tower- ing buildings erected--and then deteriorate from neather and use, then crumble. He sees a nation rise to power--through force or righteousness--have its mage of glory and fall. pf, hnlhp W . X I V, He watches the world through peace and pros-V! uli' X if-fix, fx' - . .
