Cursed to the far-fung story that the
golden door of Hope
Opens once, then clangs forever on the
forward path of man!
Cursed be the ancient teaching that
would bid the spirit grope
Back from daylight into darkness to
exist it's earthly span!
No! not once, nor twice, nor thrice, but
many times the angel peers
Into eyes no vision seeing, as they scan
the daily path;
Many are the voices calling in our clangor-
deafened ears;
Many are the hands that beckon, all
in kindness, none in wrath!
Has the door of Hope closed on thee?
Is inspiration dead?
Is the port barred and bolted? Are
life's dream and substance gone?
Look! again that portal opens into
paths thy feet may tread!
See! the darkness wanes to dawning-
and the sun behind the dawn!

DON'T BLAME FATE
Your Own Conduct is What
Counts Most in Prison,
as Well as on The
Outside
The Summary

MOI long ago one OF our fellow
inmates declared that he had relin-
pushed all hope of ever being able
to get along honestly while here.
He complained that he lad striven
long and hard to live purely, but
had always failed. He.was therefore
convinced that he had been destined
to stay here certain length of time
and that consequently 1t would be
folly for him to make any effort to
obtain release before the time APP
pointed by Fate
Very often when troubles crowd
shlck upon us. we cannot immedi-
ately see the cause of our misery,
and we will not reason it out I'M
partially. AS a natural result we
are driven to the use of such sophis-
try as Fatalism. This like every
apparently invulnerable sophism has
it's weak point in it's foundation: and
if its weakness be not discovered
there, the farther up we 60 the
stronger it appears. The greatest
argument agains Fatalism is in the
fact that no man really believes in 1t.
If we should ask the young man
whose sentiments appear above,
whether he really believes in Fate
he would answer in an emphatic
affirmative; but it would not require
any great argument to prove that
at heart he does not believe in Fate.
Let us reverse his circumstances and
say that instead of being in the third
grade and unhappy, he is in the
first grade and happy in the belief
that he is about to be sent home in a
few days.
Now If he is a consistent fatalist
he will be forced TO admit that he
deserves no credit for the good be-
havior which placed him where he
is but that all his happiness is due
to the caprice of some unknown
power called Fate. But will he
admit this? He most certainly will
not: he on the contrary will indig-
nantly repudiate any such theory
and declare that his present condition
is the reward of long course of self
sacrificing conduct on his part.
1t would seem then that Fatalism
is the support upon which the un-
successful and foolish fall back.
When a man finds himself cosely
pursued by the effects of his own
folly there are two paths before
him. One is Reason, the other
Selfshness. the choose the former,
he will discover the means of neutra-
lizing 10 a certain extent, the power
of evils crowding about him. That
is he will meet them boldly and find
that for the most part they are
phantasms. If on the other hand he
choose the latter course, he will
ascribe his misfortunes to some
power outside of himself and allow
them to continue in pursuit of him
and eventually destroy him. Of
course his destruction is attributed
to Fate. But it seems very strange
that power having already decided
on a mans destruction should allow
him to choose between two courses,
one of which leads from destruction.
Let our Fatal1stic friend think of
this
