Solomon said another wise “mg inlnlli Happy is the man that findeth‘ wisdom. Happy is the man that fmdeth that true wisdom comes down from above. Happy is the man that has the upward look. Life has two sides like every piece of cloth. It, is more than a laugh m‘ a lneffy tale. It has a. sober. ihoughful side. It needs to 100;; up as well as down. It needs the two to cive it balance. It takes heaven and earth to complete a life.

Being a poor man financially. Jack Miner often makes the re-. mark that too much credit is given, him personally in regard to his sue-I (USS in placing‘ before the world aI sanctuary which is an example anrll

mile away from the sanctuary. Ja .1 Miner says, “The credit should be; given to Jack Miner and his friencbl. the emphasis on friends.“ It costs him now annually between five and six thousand dollars to feed the birds-which congregate on lllS sanc- tuary, which money is raised by a arantof five hundred dollars from the Dominion Government, a four hundred dollar grant from the Pro- viucial Government and the bal- pure-four orufive thousand dol ars -b_v his lecture fees, royalty f m Hllll of his book and donations from lus wealthy friends, bird societies and clubs who contribute toward the cost of the food for the birds.
