• If you would be a better teacher, teach by the spirit. That is the thing that gives strength and power, meaning and life, to our otherwise weak efforts... remember, you cannot give away that which you do not possess. Study the life of the master. You do not have to have a college degree to be an efficient teacher. But you do have to become acquainted with the life and teachings of the master to be an effective teacher in the church.

• First dentistry was painless.
  Then bicycles were chainless,
  Carriages were horseless,
  And many laws enforceless.
  Next cookery was fireless,
  Telegraphy was wireless,
  Cigars were nicotineless,
  And coffee caffeineless.
  Soon oranges were seedless,
  The putting green was weedless,
  The college boy was hatless,
  The proper diet fatless.
  New motor roads are dustless,
  The latest steel is rustless,
  Our tennis courts are sodless,
  Our new religion--godless.
