                    PEER PRESSURE AND FLIES
Once a spider built a beautiful web in an old house. He kept it clean and shiny so that flies would patronize it. The minute he got a "customer" he would clean up after him so the other flies would not get suspicious.
Then one day this fairly intelligent fly came buzzing

                    There are 2 ways of handling pressure:
One is illustrated by a bathysphere, the miniature submarine used to explore the ocean in places so deep that the water pressure would crush a conventional submarine like an aluminum can. Bathyspheres compensate with plate steel several inches thick, which

                    A small storeowner was being pressured to sell his store to the owners of a large department store who had bought every building on the block, except his.   Frustrated by the man’s refusal to sell, they eventually opened their huge store on either side of the small one, with a big banner running

                    Last Sunday, I was truly blessed.  Some of you know, that I was battling with high blood pressure during Sunday School and Church.  I had a headache.  My vision was a little blurred.  And, I felt all-around lousy.
