merS union ana STUCK TO the
principles as taught by that or
ganization what would the re-
suits be today? They didn't
grasp the opportunity when it
presented itself and what is tile
result' Because the other fellow
didn't stick, and because we
didn't stick someone else didn't
and SO it has gone on and on un-
til the union has dwindIed down
to a very small number, ard with
out a doubt the few who have
stood to the back are today ten
times better off than those who
quit early in the fight. Those
who have been guided by the
teachings of the union will scarce
ly feel the depression that has
now got the entire country in its
grasp. Having failed to take
the advice of others wko had
our best interests. at heart, and
to follow the dictates of our own
conscience and use common
sense, who have we got to blame
for our present condition but our
selves. 1t is within ourselves that.
misery has fixed its seat. Our.
disordered hearts and misplaced
desires are the instruments of
tsouble which we now endure.
There are those today who are liv-.
ing in ease and plenty and know
nothing about the scenes O sore
distress which are at this time
passing in all parts of the world,
millions struggling for poor
substitute to support the wife and
children whom they love, and.
who look up to them with eager.
eyes for the necessaries of life
which they can hardly procure.
How do we know but that
the present troubles will turn out
to be the greatest blessing that
we have ever rceiyed. We
should remember that by disap-I
pointments, and trials the violence
of our passions are tanned. Would
it not be better for us to cease
locking on with so much discon-I
tent? Lei us adjust the balance
of happiness fairly. When we
think of the enjoyn1ents WEI
want, we should think also of
the troubles from which we are
free. If we will allow a lust
value to the comforts which wei
now possess, we will find room for
a great deal more satisfaction.
