The Will Recognizing
Time as Its Ally


"A woman's will is the winds Will"
30 the old poets say, and the old poets
arc as wise in this day as they were
in their own.
But women OF the twentieth century
are willing many things and are re-
lying on time for their fulfIIment.
They are willing reforms in education
Such reforms are Inevitably matters
OF slow growth Their value can only
be tested by their results, and results
are dependent solely on time.
Women are striving and willing to
better social and moral conditions.
They are directly or Indirectly the
motive power setting laws In opera
ton that they believe and hope viii
cure much evil Will change many
wrong practices for right ones. But
the solution OF the questions that are
taking up their thought and effort is, a
solution that cannot be speedily reach
ed. The forces operating for their
betterment are forces that move slowly.
and women are taught perforce, thsS
to time alone can they trust, ii their
willing avails to produce good.
Thus out of the practical lesson that
the VIII and time are natural and in,
eyitable allies. they learn that patience
without which all striving Is vain and
fruitless. Hope is anchored, purpose
gteadied and Strengthened. when to
other graces the divine grace of pa
tience Is born in the soul.
Women are willing to work That
S. much to their happiness and theft
uplifting Work leads to bisness OF
heart and to the creating of fine, strong
sympath!es. But all work that avaiis
business. domestic. scientific, profes.
sional or Observation-Disclosures time to
render 1t available. The will to work
comes first. but 1t must be strengthen
ed by the test and the help of time.
To work and to wait. TO work and
then TO give what has been done into
the hands of time for 1t to be brought
to fruition. That is the great lesson
for women TO learn; the great basic
principle for them to recognize in
whatever they undertake.: in what
ever they attempt.
Az. soon as the will OF a woman
learns to recognize time as an ally,
work becomes easier and hope becomes
brighter. Endurance, better judgment
greater balance-all these qualities
come into play as time passes by and
the assurance OF achievement draws
nearer.
Then the will of woman is no
longer subject 10 changeable impulse.
or the fad of the moment For change
and impulse are transient. That which
Is committed to the test of time is
not And women. with their willing.
are not working for day. or even
generation, they are working through
time to eternity.
