A rose by any other name might

person born with a good name, for II
has become proverbial that "a per

tolerated often too long after he has

since it fits nothing but a virtuous

compete in the work of making good

there are occasions when one must

1t may be that you reader. whose

Going some stress of calamity. You
may be saving to yourself that you
can never smile again, that the bright
ness CT life is clean gone forever
Whatever the trouble may be, it seems
to you uncomfortable.
Remember, now, by way of relief to
your spirit. that conditions are not
always going 10 seem as dark to you
as just now. 1t is very black night
indeed that has no dawn; and il is
a long lane that has no turning. The
sharpness of this particular grief
must be dulled in succeeding days.
You are not always going TO feel as
hopeless at this moment.
The legend Is told of an eastern
king, whose moody spirit, swaying
ever between exaltation and despair

sought of his wise counselors some
precept or advice which might fortify
him against such shiftings of temper.
His little daughter succeeded, after
they had failed. by giving him a ring
on which was engraved two Arabic
words. Wa-hadha Yazool-"This, too,

Try that thought the next time you
are. as the saying goes, up against it."
Reflect that this trouble, too. at least
the unbearaole sharpness of it, shall
pass. If the burden is not made light

The situation is pretty sure to be ale
waited in some way as time goes by.
The movement of life is onward. The
most tragic moments and the bitterest
experiences are bound to be left be
hind in the steady march of the days.
AS the good Book says: Weeping
may endure for the night, but joy COM
eth in the morning" Here is a hint
at the fact that human nature is mer-
cifu1ly so constituted that it cannot
endure permanently the worst physical
or mental distress We are constantly
being nursed back into moral health Dy
the kindly forces that the Creator has
provided.
The sharpness of temptation passes,
the bitterness of disappointment is
bIunted by time and a grief that
threatens to rob us Of all interest in
life Yields at length u chastened
power to do cur par Of the worlds
work.
Play the man, then, in situations of
difficulty. Refuse to capitulate in the
presence of trouble. By and by the
clouds VIII lift and the storm will
have blown itself out. Meanwhile one
may exhibit the herois1n of the smile
that comes through tears.

FEAR OF SHADOWS

teal jokes as are the youth of today,
and could possibly give them some
points from their experience which
would amaze the hearers. They could
hardly believe US, were we to tell Of
the mischief we did at their age. and
for our part perhaps we should not
enjoy being Obliged to make open com
fession of them all. Men are but
children Of a larger growth, and some
of them have never outgrown their
-fondness for making merry at the eX
pense of others.
But in all these things there is a
reality TO be afraid of, something more
than a shadow. Still we sometimes
hear of people who are said to be
afraid of their own shadow. Many OF
us, however, are afraid Of shadows. for
most of the things we fear are only
shadows after all. Approached brave
". they either recede as we near them
or vanish entirely from our path. We
dread to undertake a certain piece of
work. We feel our strength is totally
inadequate to the task, and shrink
from il in fear, but il is opi-- the
shadow that frightenS u.s. and once
to accomplish. A crisis in our affairs
becomes imminent, and We worry and
fret because il is forced upon us. We
are afraid of a shadow. Later on, we
candidly admit that the calamity we
so dreaded has proved n benefit to us,
a blessing in disguise.
In public affairs, too, our fear Of
shadows gives us much unnecessary
alarm. The country is going TO the
dogs. We are sure. whenever the party
We favor loses control OF the govern
ment local or national, but we never
have gone to the dogs yet, and prob
ably never shall There is always a
majority of honest. upright men of in
uegrity to be found in every party and
there is more light than shadow after
all. A prominent leader OF some en-
terprise, religious. patriotic. philan-
thropic or commercial, is taken from
our midst. and We say and think that
failure must follow. for no one can
ever fill his place TO carry forward the
work to its completion. Again this
which depresses US, for another leader
is found TO press onward towards sue
cess, and the shadows vanish before
the full light Of victory.
So we go through life fearful Of
shadows, worrying neediesslv over
many things, when we might be living
in the light of hope instead of linger-
ing in the darkness of despair.
Wherever there is shadow there
must be light 10 produce il, and here
the rhyme holds good:
..Never put off till tomorrow
What you can do today
That's what the old-time proVerb
And old-time people say;
But [ say put off till tomorrow
Your worry and fret and gloom.
Keep steady and sweet all day toda
For tomorrow has never yet come.

realize what a blessing charity is to

so deeply that love and time cannot

we pray perhaps every day that pray
