The Evening Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

IN a recent novel, Elizabeth, the young heroine, in a moment Of insane
anger with the ma she is engaged to and really loves, marrles a
= man for whom she cares nothing.
OF her state of mind afterwards n author writes:
"She would fall to thinking with vague amazement that TIT IRE
mediable catastrophe " as out of all proportion to its cause. 1t was mon
strous that a crazy moment should ruin a whole Hfe-two whole lives
curse and make It turn and overflow a landscape.
Suddenly it seemed to her a s she looked across the roaring gulf
that separated her from the past that all her life had been just a sunny
slope down to the edge Of the gulf. All these harmless tempers which
had had n results had pushed her to this result 8 = It is not the
pebble that turns the current. 1t Is the easy slope that invites it. AL
her life Elizabeth had been inviting this moment-just Is some OF US
the depths of these tomorrows and see what v e have done, then will we
call OIL the mountains to fall on IS and the hills to cover u.s."
1 quote these paragraphs because I think they contain a lesson that
more people need than will read the novel. There are no isolated
wrong deeds.
There are n O wrong deeds without consequences.
We give way to temper, W tell a lie, we fail a friend, we are cruel
or mean or impure in any way and perhaps nothing happens.
And W 70 think W e are fortunate because there are no consequences
to our acts.
But we are wrong
There ire always consequences.
You think perhaps I meal merely the effect upon the character
and you think you do not need to worry about such vague spiritual con
sequences as long as there are no material ones. I do mean that, but 1
lei much more than that. Every act you do affects your character
and ultimately your character affects your life Just as surely IS you
get the spiritual results you will also get the material consequences.
In another passage in this won derfuI novel the author says OF
Elzabeth-"She gasped at the realizauon-which comes to most OF US
human creatures sooner or later-that sins may be forgiven, but conse-
Quences are eternal"
That is something W e all fail to realize until we have to. We are
slow to appreciate that although our yielding to this and that and the
other small temptation brings no percepible consequences, it Is slowly
but surely paving the way for some larger yielding mat naI Drlug lie
changing consequences.
The only way you "a escape the consequences for weak and wick
ed acts is to neutraHze them by good and strong acts.
You cannot prevent the acid from hurting your han by trying 10
wash 1t off, but you a say yourself from serious burn by promptly
neutraizing 1t with ar alkan.

Is John Frank Treat, imperial poten-

that explains why Frances has a cam

Is supposed to have originated, make
