Perhaps all the lessons that humanity
teaches in this school OF the world, the
hardest is 10 wait Not 10 wait with
folded hands that claims tifes prizes
without previous effort. but having toiled
and struggled and crowded the slow years
with trial. TO see no results and yet be
able to stand flrm-to preserve ones
poise. and relax no Efforts true heroism
Great results often require time and
continued patience for achievement; and
that which grows slowly is the most en-
during. Let us be patient with our fellow
workers and in eur homes with those
nearest and dearest Surely in the daily
exercise Of this heaven-born virtue we
shall find joy and peace

I think very few of US realize the mean
ing Of the word patience. 1t enters so
much into our daily life that we should
all Try 10 realize its true meaning. How
much sweeter the home life would be If
We all practiced the art Of patience. II
is a simple matter to forgive the blum
ders of outsiders 9nd to accept their
apologies with a smile, but Oh. how hard
il is to check the angry rebuke when one
of our home folks offend. II We could
only see ourselves reflected In mirror
when indulging in a passion Of this sort
it would l am sure, cause an everlasting
cure. Mrs. J. MANSON PARIS.

Patience, Let the word be spoken,
And remembered as a token
Of repose and calm unbroken
BY a life of sore travail.
Put again thy best foot forward;
Do not steer thy frai barque shoreward.
Seek the open; be aboveboard:
Turn about and breast the gale.
Patience born Of perseverance
Brooks no foreign interference
Yields a power for its adherents
Be We strong and never fail.

Patience is composure of mind cap
without complaining. This kind of calm
ness and of cOmposure differs completely
from calmness and composure based on
which results from a weak
willed submission, from lack of perse-
verance and endurance.
Patience realizes fully the obstacles en-
tries with a determined will to
them without complaining. OF
submits with calmness and compOsure to
their overwhelming force.

As we toll day in, day out,
And difficulties meet,
When something's done
That's not just right,
Our tempers must not heat,
