THE FLAVOR OF LIFE.

Isn't il dreadful hat we let our
selves hate so much more readily than
We let ourselves love?
We are so ready to fight against love,
says a writer in the Philadelphia But
IeJin." we doubt il and push ii away
from US, giving il only a half-weIcome
when we md that it is useless to re-
sist it.
But when the ugly little demon Hate
rhrusts himself forward We encourage
him by the mere fact of our faith IN
MIN.
Things should be exactly reversed, We
should seek love, and give him every
encouragement to tarry.
Hate should be pushed 10 the back
ground with all its hideOus company OF
doubts and suspicious
The great trouble is that We make
love a commonplace thing we take il
too much for granted and dent make
half enough of it,
When We think Of the shortness Of our
span of life IL Is strange that We ever
grow weary OF telling our loved ones
Perhaps we are too seIf-conscious.
and feel that IL would look foolish were
We to be too demOnstratiVe.
How often do you tell your mother
you love her, how long IS il since you
have given her any little tender caress
How often co you show your father
love him2
How many husbands argue to them
selves Ally vile knows love her.
Why bother TO repeat the faCtH
and how many wives remember that
words OF love and encUura cement viii be
OF great cheer TO the Woodworking pro
wider for the family?
We should never forget that love is
the hub around which the entire world
reVOlyes. and II we miss our share OF IL
We are missing the best thing that life
has 20 offer us
Without love all the successes in life
are navCTless.
Do you think the multi-milIionaire is
happy il ne has no love I'm his home. OF
that the most beautifully gCWued woman
ON earth is satisfied without love?
We simply cannot live without It, and
yet We expect to do 50 little to keep H.
We treat love very much as though we
were running 10 catch street car; after
we catch IL we dOut run any more.
Well. love, you see. Is not street car.
so We must keep running If We want to
keep it.
Love won't stand the tiniest scrap of
neglect. And let me tell you this. When
once 30 goes, not all the tears on earth
can bring IL back again.
DO not spend so much affection on
your friends that you have none left for
the home circle
Remember that the friends may be
ones at home are the ones who give YOU
q lifetime OF love, 50 don't neglect that
love, but give IL back, fun measure and
overlooking.
Don't be ashamed 20 say TO all and
all. Il love you
For every time you say it. you viii
be glad In the years TO come.
