DAILY WORRIES Life is fun OF
worries, and each step in our daily
toll may encounter one or more. 1t
is The petty annoyances far more than
the great disasters that wear Us out
long before the waste ofyears has set
its zeal upon heart and brow.
This endless fretting and Tuning
over the little inevitables that no hu-
man sagacity can foresee and no hu-
man skill avert, is the incurable mala-
| DIV that often battles the wisest physi-
clans, because the unhappy victim
himself is unable to define bis symp-
toms, and the diagnosis is too obscure
for scientific determination.
These small troubles seem of NAM
moth proportions to-day, but tO-mor-
row we will be surprised to see how
they have dwindled away into mites,
and we are ashamed OF our impotence
aud timidity.
We expect all we do to bear the
stamp Of completeness. Things must
turn out just as we planned and de-
sire; and we worry If they do not,
as If our murmurs and discomfort
would ultimately secure the success
so earnestly sought
We repine if the great world with
holds its recognition of our noisy ef-
forts, which are often too insignificant
for the public appreciation, and we
have overrated tfpm they seem so
prodigious in our self esteem. Our
small life-service seldom brlngs its re-
ward, and we sLouli not worry if we
help others, aud thuv sc,rn our cry
for aid when the lay of adversely

mission without despair. Let US
work on through the deafness, never
stopping to lament lack Of cheering
and encoring, remembering that we
are not working for time. but for re
