Self-conceit. prejudice, jealousy,
reckless statements about others, are
evil fruit that may all be said to grow
from one stem-inordinate love OF

never the development of our true and
nobler self-hood. or personality, which
is not to be repressed. but the posses

l,roodInr Over Mistnkes

Probably the one thing that does the
mort to make men and women grow old
and to wear ont the springs of energy is
the habit OF turning over in mind what
might have been. We brood over past
mistakes and see how at some turning
point we made a wrong choice, and then
harrass ourselves increasingly by imagining
what we would have gained if we had
taken tine other path. Somehow we can.
not get the bright alternative out of mind.
and its very brightness makes the condi-
tons IN which we live abnormaily dark.
Sometimes we doubt whether iornbodincs
as 70 What may come. or regrets for what
might have been do the more to c;oud and
depress sensitive spirits. But this is n
case in which philosophy and faith have
their say. Suppose you had made n better
choice al that crisis. there is no certainty
that you would have continued to make
wise choices to the end of the char tor and
subsequent mistakes might have ,icen as
llllnous as the one you now deploro Far
thermore. no amount of regret il going to
bring back the lost opportunity. You have
to take things as they are and the very
weakening OF your powers through vain re-
prets. will certainly prevent your making
the bess Of YOUR present opportunities.
Abnve all 1t Is not in man that walketh
to direct his steps, IL there is q God we
certainly are in His hands and the final
issues OF lite arc safe with Him. Very Of
