ANOTHER HOMILY.
Just For What It Is Worth In the
Everyday Life Of ARGUS
Readers.

Af1atuS has sought 10 Ceacn US III
verse that all things come around
right to whosoever will but wait, and
since all human individuals are in
some degree fatalists, this easy-teach-
ing to easy-going ma has found
wide acceptance, Yet those Of us
who have lived life as real and earn
est know, each for each, a different
story.
The utmost stretch Of truth is that
things which are best come to all
who work worthily and wait pa
tiently.
If genius be an infinite capacity for
labor, the things which are to con
tent US must come of an infinite ca
pac1ty to patiently strive. This is
much the same as genius, and is
within reach OF every we~ll-ordered
mind that is of good purpose. In the
worldly sense of success, nothing sue
ceeds like patience. In the soul
soothing quality patience is a SUI
preme virtue. If one were suffered
to teach to all the children Of the
earth one word of worldliness mat is
possessed Of sanity significance pa
tieLce would be taught with pious
devotion.
Patience does not sit by the way
side with open hands to catch the
tardy pennies Of passers-by; patience
makes the way for all who will to
tread, and that way is clearly mark
ed through jungle and across slough
and fair field alike unto the gate Of
that paradise Of man where JOY and
laughter romp the days away to
heaven.
Patience bends the back to the
proper burdens % tne world and
bears them bravely through days of
heat aud nights u unrest, over the
ember5 and the ice Of life, and in the
by and by the Gay comes that brings
to tbe garden ol the gods OF mans
earthly striving, where all burdens
are lifted and there is-peace. Oday,
Q peace! How noble is the reward OF
patience!
Fret and fume and mawkish re-
pining are most foolish Of the folIies
OF the world, dearly beloved. They
lengthen the long days of unrest, and
bring grief to men and women guilt
less of offending. They are the
hearts highwaymen, ready to rob
and do to death all of us who pass
their way, instead Of treading the
sweet path Of gentle patience.
Peace, cOntentm8l,, comfort, these
are the most precious treasures to be
striven for, prayed for, in our lives,
and besides these the best Of every
other thing is as the muddy flood OF
a ditch to a Way1aring man atnirst.
Fame is an accident; history is a
compilation of idle JUNIORS. The
light that colors the stage wherein
the great are wont 10 play is the IL
Iusory fiickering of clamOrous pas
sion, beating upon selfish greed and
all manner Of follies. Better wild
flowers in wood or field than the wild
tumuIt Of the forum. Better the
songs and fancies and abiding faith
OF childhood through the advancing
years than to grow old mounting and
mumbIing of things you cannot
and ought not to accomplish. Better
remain young of heart and keep
youthful songs in your memory fresh
than to be longing and striving fol
heempty and unenviable distinction
of laundering orations "~listening
senates to command"
Better be patient-patient in all
things-patient in seeking for the
uuieter and truer and better things 81
life, far removed from the sounding
stage at which fools cape and O
which wise men grow weary.
