gin"-reading, or sewing, or study
ing. or working for the poor, as the
case may be-and 80 the present
idleness is veiled by the thought Of
future achievements. Or sometimes
it is only for the hour that we are
idle. We dream away fifty or sixty
minutes. easing our consciences with
the thought that we are going di-
rectly. yet lingering inexcusably all
the time. Strange it is, that this
oft-repeated excuse is yet so potent
when we whisper to ourselves. WE
are not idling. oh, no! we are only
indulging in a little season of wait
ing. before we enter on the task
belonging to US. So we go on,
through hours and days. through
weeks and months. through years at
last and still the the new life has
not been lived, and still we stand
dallying with this NOW as once with
oil those other NOws which make up
our yesterdays. Let US wake up to
one truth. Resolutions for the
FUTURE are no resolutions at all.
To begin at all. in anything, we
must begin NOW. this day, this hour,
this moment, or we shall never
begin. For we are what we are now

live tomorrow. and the next day, II
