Do Not Get Weary,
Keep going. Don't let that tired
feeling come over you. The real
race is only just beginning, so don't
let yourself be cut down" in the
back stretch. Do not be gutter
or a sulker. Neiher of these is of
any use to God or man. Be cheer
full and plug along always hoping for
the best.
Get rid of the idea that you are
hopelessly behind and are going to
be left. If anybody tells you this
tell him he's another. He may mean
to discourage you because he favors
someone else, or he may be a
chronic bear" who hates to see any
progress made successfully, so turn
him down hard. Nobody has won
anything as yet and all the contest
ants have an equal chance for a
prize. A race is never won until it
is finished and accidents may happen
at any minute.
Perseverance, Wins.
Did you ever read the history
of Robert Bruce and the spider?
When Bruce had met with reverses
and had to flee for his life, he hid
in cave to escape his pursuers,
and was lying there "ducking his
luck". He was watching a spider
on the cave spinning his web. The
spider desired to attach one of the
stays of his web to distant point.
He swung himself at the end of a
strand of the web, but at first he
would not reach the distant point,
but, after many trials, he succeeded
and made his web secure. 49,.
Bruce noted his success and it in
spired him with new hope. He
cheered up and took another whack
at the English troops, and defeated
them. Then he told the story and
acknowledged that the perseverance
of the spider had been an inspira-
ton to him.
That is it. Don't be discouraged.
Send in your name and keep Robert
Bruce's spider in mind and as the
song said IF you don't succeed at
first, try, try again." and you will
perhaps start an avalanche of votes
in your direction. Send in your
name and begin hustling.
