...business horizon which later on may or may not blow up into stormier weather. The chief of these is the tendency of individual and institutional investors alike to place funds in fixed rather than liquid assets. This tendency accounts for much stock market activity, and for the even wider and greater speculation in land and improved real estate. So far has activity in both these fields gone, that the wiser heads in Wall Street and the more hard-bitten realtors of Miami are now wondering where the limit is. It is not yet clearly discernible. Yet many traders are definitely...
...decidedly complimentary turn, and is reproduced on the dust-jacket of this 490-page novel of the American Revolution concerning the adventures of John Fraser : how his father was a Tory, his lady a revolutionist ; how he, torn between two personal voices and not particularly concerned with the wider issues of his country's dilemma, went to England, France, Scotland, looking for a fence to sit on ; how he heard men declaim in taverns and ordinaries, breaking their clay pipes with the passion of their rhetoric ; and how, by a somewhat fatuous coincidence, he came at last to march...

Above all we can place ourselves on a higher plane of vision by striving to look at things from a loftier standpoint. We can endeavor to rise above our own sentiments, surroundings and purposes until they assume their true proportions in a wider horizon. We can try to think how they would be regarded by a Being infinite in knowledge, in love and in sympathy with all sentient creatures that now are, or hereafter will be, living upon the earth. No doubt we shall still be in error, because we are finite, severely limited in mind and heart...
