- 4 ND the way to end dreams Is
"A to break then-stand, walk,
"A 60"
Are you drifting idly on the stream
Of life? Are you dreamer? Up you
sit and fancy what would be line IN
Ife-provided it could be, or do you
set about bringing into your life the
things that shall make it splendid.
Dreams are splendid, glowing, glori-
GUS wonderful things-provided Ihey
are incentives to action. Dreams are
poor little ghosts provided they are
ONLY fancies. and dreams are cruel
jailors if they are permitted to weave
themselves over a life and so prevent
the spirit that should be up and doing
from forcing itself out into action ana
one of the saddest effects Of dreams
lies outside the three ordinary classl-
fications into which dreams and the
dreamer fall. 1t is the tendency OF
dreaming to work itself out in DRIFT
Drifting is generally an unconscious
process. All unconscious processes
all processes which are not dlrectea
and guided by the mind-are Iraush-
with danger.
