The world is much what we make it.
The “man with the muckrake” hated his work, and with good
reason. “How sweet is the smell of those pine boards!” said
a lady to her friend as they were walking near the river in
Chicago. “Pine boards,” he exclaimed; “just smell that foul
river!” “No, thank you,” she answered, “I prefer to smell pine
boards.”--FRANKLIN NOBLE, “Sermons in Illustration.”
