how you could ever have commanded

once when I asked her why she was send

and she won't go to new places because
she don't want to send you postals. SO

The Fear Of Deciding.
By DR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1918. by Frank Crane.)

A young man wrote me the other day
and after describing his circumstances
asked me to tell him whether to go on
in his present position or to accept q GER
tain offer of another.
A woman called upon me, a tired, de-
feated looking woman. with her story OF
a husband who regularly got drunk and
beat her, and of son who was under the
spell of a wicked siren. Would l please
explain to her just what to do?
A man sixty-five years old wrote me
stating he had been a bookkeeper all his
life and now was breaking down. He
needed rest. Should he spend his little
savings on a vacation, with the PROBABLE
ity of losing his job or should he con-
tinue at his desk?
A woman wrote me of her domestic
problem and wanted to know if l would
advise her to leave her husband.
1 mention these things for purpose.
1t is to show how prone we are to find
some one upon whom we may shift the
responsibility in life's crises.
We might go so far as to lay it down
that responsibility is the thing people
dread most of all. Yet 1t is the one
thing in the world that develops us. gives
us manhood or womanhood fiber.
Because people shun responsibility they
are willing to slump into routine clerk
ship and safe jobs. where they become
mere machines. 1t Is they who get out
and hustle" unafraid, who grow up
with souls firm and sound.
The worst calamity that can befatl a
human being. perhaps, is a life position.
The virile characteristic of the Anglo
Saxon race Is their willingness to accept
responsibility. So they become pioneers.
rulers, conquerors.
The last thing weak personality wants
to do is to decide.
Even in family and business affairs we
reach out for some one to lean on.
Worst of all we continually seek to pre-
vent our children from acting upon their
own judgment and call them good
when they run to us for every decision.
Children, on the contrary, should be
trained to form their own opinions and
lions. To have a quick-acting, dependa-
BILE Judgment is better than a world of
negative moralities.
Solve your own problems. Better solve
them poorly than let another solve them
WELL
Let every tub stand on its own bottom.
Don't lean.
Settle your own love affair or marriage
perpleXity. Fight out your own spiritual
battle with doubt and superstition. Carry
on your own business in your own way.
Don't be afraid. Fear means destruc-
mind waver Think over your situation.
Decide on what you ought to do. You
can never be certain it is right. You
must weigh probabilities, which is. all that
the best of us can do.
Then go ahead, trust in the Lord and
keep your powder dry
Better play the man and fail than be a
mouse and succeed.
