GEMS OF THOUGHT
All that is human must retrograde if it does not advance. —Gibbon. I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.—Oliver Wendell Holmes. Intellectually, as well as politically, the direction of all true progress is toward greater freedom, and along an endless succession of ideas. —Bovee. Literary commercialism is lowering the intellectual standard to accommodate the purse and to meet a frivolous demand for amusement instead of for \ improvement. Incorrect views lower the standard of truth. —Mary Baker Eddy. Let us labour for that larger com- . prehension of (ruth, and that more • thorough repudiation of error, which < shall make the history of .mankind a I series of ascending developments.—H. Mann. ! All growth that is not toward God, is growing to decay.—George Macdonald.
