Worry.

We all know what it is some of lis
better than Others, and we al know
how helpsss it is. 1t does no particle Ct
good-lghtens no loa1, and clears no
pathway, but the habit is so firmly fixed
as to seem second nature to some OF us
1t is the bane of no, Only our own lives,
but of those about us.
Worry is lack of trust. If we can help
the occurrence OF what troubles us, il
is our duty to dcmolish the bugbear,
but if we find ourselves powerless to
combat it, fretting about it only increases
the burden 1t only makes a bad con
dition worse Worry does not consist
in having proper torethought and so
lcitude for the EVERYDAY events of life,
but il is the carrying of such thought
and solcitude to the extreme until doubt
and fear join hands with it, and the
combination makes towards of even the
stoutcst We weave the cowardice into
our daily care until it becomes part OF
us, or until the habit masters even the
common sense.
Such thought and care do not better
our lives, noriwprove our circumstances
or conditions, and we might better take
the easy side of life, and gain strength to
meet the trouble when it comes. Bor
rowcd trouble is heavy mortgage on
ones soul; we wousd not wish to repay
the loan, yet of what use can it ever be
to us? 1t is better to borrow sunshine,
for we can settle the debts at any time
by Frightening other lives, and one beau
tful thing about his kind of n loan i,
the fact that the interest is accruing on
our side of the balance sheet.

THE UNDYING PAST

Even suppose that you should forget me,
Part from me collly and never regret me-
Break all your vows and leave me alone,
Turn t o another and make her your own
Even suppose. But could that rcmake me
Yours, and yours only, although YOU for
sake me,
The woman you loved through lifc's
happest years,
When we shared our Ideals, our passions,
our fears
Even suppose that You should reject me,
From the best of your life YOU could never
eject me,
For memory often would haunt you to
pain,
And thrill you with dreams OF the old
love again.
Even suppose could errebroach you
Allow the least shadow of blame to an
proach you:
All. no. Though forsaken, alone. and
apart,
| should still hold you fast in the depths
of my heart.
