Your Lot = Harder Than That q
I - .5..rt-I s& -
49, Of Anyone Else.

Don't think when tho clouds of ad-
versity hang heavily over you that
your lot is harder than that of every
one else. Things are pretty evenly
divided in this world, and no matter
how bad the trouble is, bear in mind
the fact. that it might he worse. Z,
No one goes through life without his
share of sorrow. Some fortunate peo-
pie are able to throw it of and rise
again buoyant and hopeful; others are
conquered by their troubles and never
rise above them.
Don't assume that the man or wom-
an with the CHEEKY face and manner
have never known grief. Their sor-
rows, says the Chicago American, may
have exceeded yours tenfold, but they
have simply made up their minds to
make: the best of things and present a
brave face.
There is enough sorrow in the world
without adding to it by going around
with q long drawn face and whining
manner. With the responsibilities of
manhood and womanhood come cares
and trials: we cannot escape them, be-
cause we cannot live and love without
sometimes seeing the reverse side Of
the shield.
But we need not meet trouble half
way, and we need not succumb to the
little worries, for if we do we have no
strength left to fight the big ones when
they come.
Nearly every cloud has a silver lin
ing If we only look hard enough to find
it, and 1t is we'll to remember that
sometimes the very thing that brings
sorrow to US brings JOY to some one
else.
1t is a great mistake to expect too
much sympathy from our friends. Up
to a certain point they will sympathize
and listen patiently to our tale of woe;
but too much woe tires even the most
ready sympathizer, and if we always
carry sad face We will find we are
left much to ourselves.
Nothing commands so much respect
and sympathy as trouble bravely borne.
A smile makes more friends than
whine and hopeful nature is a great
blessing.
Things are always at their very
darkest just before a turning point
Let us learn to take the bitter with the
sweet, to make the best of our woes
for the sake of our joys.
Into each life some rain must fall"
but some of the showers are only sun
showers after all, and let us take
refuge under the umbrella of hope and
watch for the rainbow that is shining
brightly across the dark clouds.
