The Leaves
BY WILLIAM F. KIRK

STsHEY are changing out in the forest now
From a lovely green to russet hue;
Proudly they clustered round many a bough.
Sparkling with summers dew.
Now they old, these myriad leaves,
And they boast no more of their flashing green:
They will change from russet to red and gold
Then in futterng millions, warped and DID,
Fade from the forest scene
Leaves and loves changeable things
That live and die uncontrolled by man;
Growing and turning and taking wings
Since the gray old world began
Winter comes and the tree is BARE
But another spring decks it out anew
You who are stripped of your love will care
For the springs to come will not see her there,
And the tree will smile, not you.

to turn these unexpected events
into means OF growth

into means OF growth
BY doing the work given US
to do to the very best of our
ability, and by doing it cheerful
ly and saying little about it,
and making as little noise or
confusion over our toll as possi-
bic, we will develop in character,
and that is the one purpose of
existence, the one object and
aim of the universe.
History does not tell us, but
it is possible the mother of Ben
jamin Franklin felt that her own
personal plans were upset and
that her individual development
was delayed when she found
that her family of Is children
was to be made 16.
But it is questionable if any
work she could have achieved
would have benefited the world
to the extent it was benefited by
the life of her son, Benjamin
Franklin.
There was once mother who
sacrificed every personal ambi-
ton and all her desire for pleas
ure and travel and social enjoy
ment to her ambition for her
children.
She wanted her daughters
and sons to have all possible adj
vantages, and as the family
means were limited she gave up
her own individual longings to
enable her children to crafty
their tastes.
But there was seldom week
passed in which this mother
failed to tell her family of
her sacrifices, and she thought
so much about it that she de-
veloped the most morbid phase
of self-pity and enjoyed nothing
so much as being regarded as a
martyr to duty.
1t would have been better for
the family and for this woman
had she carried out her own am
bitions and aims and maintained
a happy and cheerful disposi-
ton.
1t would have resulted in bet
ter conditions for all concerned.
There is no benefit to be
gained or bestowed by doing
any duty in an ungracious, dis
contented, unamiable and de-
spondent frame of mind I'm
less you can bring yourself into
philosophical and patient
mood, if not cheerful one, in
facing duty, unless you can go
about it with at least gentle res
ignation and a determination TO
accept the situation with good
grace, and to get some benefit
from the accomplishment of
task, it is better to let it go and
fatty refuse and to bear the pun
ishment, when itN comes, for
your refusal, for come it will.
Destiny has strange ways of
educating our souls.
Few people have ever followed
the exact paths they have laid
out for themselves in seeking
The Heights.
But all paths lead to those
heights if we take the right
viewpoint and if we do we'll
whatever duty or obligation is
placed before us.
Only when done cheerfully is
duty really we'll done.
