despairing loneliness they plunge into
a vortex Of vice.
This is a very good movement, but
It is only ONE organization and solves
but this question OF loneliness for but
one hundred people according to the
present count.
OF course we may have other chap
ters of the mother organization In the
time to come which may alleviate a
social condition. or more correctly UN-
SOCIAL condition.. which every one
Is some time or other called upon to
combat.
But there are a few general principles
in the humdrum OF ONENESS that
might b. reckoned with with profit.
Loneliness. like failure. when all I,
summed up. IS ONLY FOR THOSE
WHO RECOGNIZE IT. For instance. a
nan the other day said: IT am more
lonely In . crowd than n where In the
world"
The rea son Of this Is because he Is no;
interested n that crowd. He Is not IN
ACCORD with It.
who Is more lonely than a fellow who
knows nothing about a baseball game
In the midst OF a crowd Of enthusiasts SITS
even though they be his friends? All
of this tends to show that this feelins
Is largely due to not being In close
communion with that which It ABOUT
one-and in TOO CLOSE communion
with ones self.
While Socrates said. Know myself
you and / and all OF us know that It /,
bad business to know ones self TOO
WELL. 30 that when alone the atti.
tude Is by myself. of myself and fol-
myself, There is no need for this, and
the individual who Is inclined to be
lonely may cultivate a spirit of actor
TO make him strongly SUFFICIENT

Ana Stevenson knew whereof he
spoke. for HE had been with the
crowded crowds and alone with his
loneliness. Thus you and I and all
OF us are inclined to call It Loneliness
when We are not In the whirlpool Of
social activity. When there are 70
many truly absorbing possibilities IN
the alone time" which wants but q ~
OF CULTIVATION to prove!
No need TO dwell on the great CON-.
PANIONSHIP o: printed thoughts "a
keep the mind from dwelling on ones
SELF. which is the real cause Of lone.
Illness. Interest yourself In the world
about you. For It Is a very big world
with n very large sky. sAnd you NAV
walk out In the open at any and All
times.
As to this. the same Stevenson says:
"A walking our should be gone upon
alone because freedom Is OF the %.
sence; because You should be abls Ia
stop and 20 on. and follow this way or
that. as the freak takes you; and be-

Certainly we need companionship. Al.

So. summed up. loneliness Is q mat.
