and enjoy the good things God has
bestowed upon his children. There
is, if one may be allowed the ex-
preston, leisure in work, fulness
of power that tunes and harmoiiizes
the being in action, that makes la
Dor only a larger and completer
rest of all the faculties. But hurry
is very different from this swing
and rhythm Of body and ou1right-
ly tuned to action: Hurry is ugly,
anxious, hot, lustered.G 4 1t has

Of the center of gravity. Is there
anything uglier thar a crowd of
people pushing, elbowing, crowd
ing, scrambling their way into a.
street-car at the moment of depart:

grow to look old, pale and pinched,

beautiful, is artificial. If boy
sees two or three persons running
in the street he begins to run also
not knowing why. On the same
principle, people are in a hurry be
cause others are. It is an insidiou'
fashion, means of impressing per
