THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK By ROBERT OLSON people have different attitudes toward Different and life. Consider for example, these two people quotes. Bishop Sheen quotes Jean de Rougement as saying, "if my neighbor is stronger than fear him if he Is weaker, I despise him; if we are equal, 1 resort to subterfuge.

What motive could I have for obeying him, what reason for loving him?" The second quote is from an unknown author "When you're tired and worn at the close of the day, and things don't seem to be going your way, When even your patience has come to an end, taking time out and Confide in a Friend Pertry haps he too may have walked the same road, with troubled heart and a burdensome load, To a find peace and comfort somewhere hear the end, when he stopped long enough to Confide in a for there are most welcome a few lends words of cheer, for some one who willingly you an ear No trouble exists that time can not mend, but to get quick -Confide in a Friend." Two entirely different attitudes. Which do you like best? OLSON FUNERAL HOME, Court and Junius, Fergus Falls. Phone 736-7586.
