n and worth-while riches of good deeds,
and in your evening of life you will be welcome in the midst of the
group.
If your life was sold for gold your evening of life will be short and
miserable; legatees will grudge you your every breath; they will endure
you simply because they are checking off the days from Time's calendar
until the day of your passing, and the dollars you sold your soul and
heart and life for will be lavishly spent by cold-blooded heirs who
cared nothing for you.
Leave a legacy of love, example and character, and if with these there
are a few dollars, they simply prove your frugality, economy and
independence.
A few dollars left to heirs will help. Many dollars will hurt. Dollars
in old age will give you pleasure by helping in tight corners, and
helping your loved ones over the bumps in the road.
Use the dollars to help those you love to help themselves, and your old
age will be a busy, happy one and you won't be in the way.
To prepare for that happy period of your life the foundation must be
built in the active today period.
Carry smiles in your old age; they will keep the heart young, the
digestion good, and life will be worth while.

What Geology Tells Us About Time
I have traveled horseback over the great arid plains of the West and
read the story of the ages gone before.
In Arizona and New Mexico there are ancient ruins of forts and cities
built by people we know not of.
Chalcedony Park with its petrified forest of mammoth trees silently
testifies to a period when vegetation was rampant and on what is now a
desert.
In Wyoming there is coal enough to furnish fuel for the United States
for several centuries.
Coal is carbon made from trees and vegetation covered with earth and
rock, pressed, and preserved through the thousands of years necessary to
change it from vegetable to carbon.
Oceans and floods gradually covered millions of acres of trees and
plants with ooze and soil and sand. Ages turned some of these deposits
to stone.
There in bleak Wyoming is testimony and evidence of changes that time
only can bring about.
"A thousand years is as a day and a day is as a thousand years." Thus
wrote the scribe of old. So then we must consider this estimate of time
in reading the history of the sequential events in the first chapter of
Genesis which describes the order of the world's creation.
The arrangement of the formation of the world was the divid
