A Turn in The Road

In every mans lifetime there have been wind

and as he looks the way he came he can see
many points where. when he was young the choice
was made for him. and where, when he was older
he chose for himself, and an error may have been
committed.
If life was one straight line from start to finish
predetermined groove from one end to the other
how easy-and how dull-it would be!
Again and again it startles us to find we hold
our fate in hands. Shall I, in loneliness,
commit this sin not? Shall l., make a stand
against my particular besetting vice or shall give
in! Here are two plans-which is wiser? Here
are two roads, and neither wears a sgn-which will
take me where would be? If l write this letter.
what will be the result? What is the bearing of this
action or this procrastination on my own fortunes?
We ask these questions of ourselves, and even when
there those who give concerned and efection-
ate counsel many times we must fight it out with
souls what the answer shall be.
Not once or twice in life, but every little while
we stand at the parting of the ways. Other human
lives surge or ripple toward us and recede, out of
the great deep, stand like children on the
shore of the temporal sea- What we viewed as a
mere casual, momentary contact, may have been
cial, pivotal to another. For what we said or did
amiss may be forgiven, with infinite pity for our
blindness of sight and hardness of heart.-Ex

WEIGH YOURSELF

In many public places we see sign: Did You
Weigh Yourself To-day?' So we are minded to
ask Have you weighed yourself to-day, in rela-
ton to ob and if so how did you size up with
the requrements?"
The story of any successful mans life is the
story of mind development courage industry en-
thusiasm, patience. determination 1t is entirely
and solely up to you, whether you will become
follower or leader whether you will be mental
cripple or Intellectual giant Every position
presents numerous opportunities for personal de-
velopment. and the material with which men may
develop.

he seldom does anything outside of it, Even in his
proper division, light weight is seldom success

hundred pounds, physically, and still be more inter-
esting than important. Of course employers feel an
interest in the style of clothes wears and his
ability social mixer, but the big thing which
overshadows the rest, is this:
How much do you weigh mentally? Have you
initiative ability. vision Imagination Have
you plenty of "pep"? Do you try to do little more
and little better work today than you did yester-
day or last week? Or, do you continually shoot at
the clock" kill time, watch the man in the front Of
fce worry about the heat and do just enough work
to get you by? Are you an lS-karat staer or a

yourself

of every man to this sentence of sound logic The
