High up in the Rockies a small boy and his mother were visiting. One day, after he had been punished, the boy ran to the edge of the cliff and shouted at his mother, 'I hate you I hate you' Across the ravine came the echo, 'I hate you I hate you' Thoroughly frightened the boy ran to his mother and said . 'Who is that bad man over there who said, I hate you' Taking the boys hand, the mother led him back to the top of the cliff, 'Now,' she said, 'call out I love you I love you' Clearly and sweetly the echo came, repeating his words. 'My boy,' said the mother, taking him into her arms, 'that is the law of life what you give, you get in return.'

'I believe that each time ... one group of people or one nation takes advantage of the other, retribution follows either from within or from without for that breach of the perfect law of God as well as those of mankind, which are products of the Divine within man'

A suburban local was stalled by a blizzard one winters night, and so deep was the snow that its passengers were unable to leave the car. Next morning the hundred and fifty-odd half-frozen commuters were startled to see a manned signal tower only a few hundred yards away. The signal-station attendant had seen the stalled train the night before, but when asked why hed done nothing about it, he answered, 'Its not in my territory.'

Not being familiar with the names of the various stops, I asked the man next to me the name of the station where we had just stopped. He replied, 'Ive been riding this line for fifteen years and I only know two stops where I get on and where I get off.'
