Something to Think About
By V. A. WALKER
1SEWA1112 OF SHADOWS
TO MAKIS one's self hnppy. to
keop on the sunlit trallH, to go
nbotit the day's duties with u light
licnrt ami a willing Imntl, one inimt
keep conslnntly In the splendent, null
ant rays from the worlds above.
It Ih not easy to wear n smile when
troubles hover near, but by continued
effort In the right spirit. It rw be
done, i
Many of our annoying perplexities
nro of our own making, consequently
tbey can be avoided by turning from
them when they first knock at the
door of our hearts for admission, and
abutting the door In their fticcs.
We are Inclined to brood over some
fancied wrong until It becomes a
formidable ghostly thing that haunts
our life from day to day. We are
prone to forget that we are rational
beings possessed of spiritual powers
capable of turning night Into day by
a grain or two of faith, which In our
moments of despondency we frequent
ly overlook, or cast aside In quest of
n balm of our own.
We art not willing to accept the
juicrcd promises given to us by the
iMaster of Men, simply because we
prefer the slmdows or doubt rather
(than the glorious sunlight or endur
ing trulli. so we continue to stumble
Hind fall In the darkness of our crea
Itlon and blame the Fates for our mis
ierable plight.
Human vanity and an exalted Idea
of our blood-and-flo.sh prowess are In
Imofit cases responsible for the sor
rows, tears and disappointments that
luHiially beset us.
Wo make pitiable Jobs of our work
Itmt we stubbornly refuse to change
our methods even though they bring
jus nothing but regret and pain.
And generally we rest fairly con
tent with (Mir failures, .for we keep
(multiplying them and courtln,; their
company when we know In our hearts
1C
that we should pursue a contrary
course.
We wish to be assured of brighter
days, but in our blind eagerness to
find them, we deliberately turn our
bucks upon the paths that take to
the hills anil choose the rougher
ronds thnt carry us down to the dark
valleys.
if we would not wnsto our years
In Ignorance, we must lift our eyes
up to the light of Wisdom, plnce our
hands confidently In her nlways friend
ly palm and be content to be guided
by her kindly counsel and Illuminat
ing smile, for there Is no other way
by which we enn hope to overcome
Impeding obstacles and reach the
heights.

filvo training to teach him to keep Ids
(temper.
Yet these years are well spent, Un
less you are certain that your temper
is Irrltution-proof, you can never bo
uuro of yourself.
At some time, on some occasion, you
may lose all control of yourself and do
something that you will regret for tho
remainder of your life.
It la useful to teach hoys boxing,
not only because It develops their
innscles and enables them to dorcml

because it Is the best lesson in tem

No man, without training, can en
dure sudden pain, inflicted by another
raun without a temporary lit of anger.
Doubtless you have Bomctlmes
wuljced along a path In tho woods be
hind a companion and been smitten
smartly In the face by a branch ,ho
released as ho passed. If you didn't
'loso your temper you were hardly
human.
Learn to avoid sudden anger, which
Is very different from the slow de
liberate kind which you ought to feel
in the face of u great wrong or eyll.
For, If moved to quick wrath, tho

Nothing worth while wua ever ac

(lushed with blood, was ever able to
think.
It Is right that you should be angry
at evil, that you should be Indignant
when you sec, for example, a man beat
ing it horse or u child. But your power
to redre-is such n wrong, even to suvo
the victim, doparts If you are moved
to violent rage.
Lnirn to keep your temper. It will
take a long hard "ourae of lessons,
but they will pay.
