Then whittle away the edges Of the
peg" suggested the still small voice OF
Reason,
And Faith reminded him Of the prom
ise Of the working together Of all things
for good unto those who love Him.
There may come a time when your
business opportunities will be enlarged
by your victory over your shrinking from
strangers. your conquering of the pres
ent situation. To lie down on the job
at hand Is the part of a coward" ar
gued Reason In voice so firm and prac-
tical that upon The Man there dawned
light.
Whereupon he wrote The Little Lady:
Unto me there has come tonight a
glimmer of understanding. Because in
the years gone by shrinking from
strangers. my dread Of new environments
has not vitality affected my life or busi-
ness 1t does not follow that II will al
ways be so.
Il have thought the whole thing out
and come to the belief that nothing is
without purpose; that no other channel
OF work save this that I so dislike open
ed unto me because there were elements
In. my character which need correction.
This. dear heart, is a bridge from
the thing that was to a greater thing
that is to be, so I've made up nv mind
to conquer my elementary tastes that
have been an obstruction thus far to my
success"
So 1t came about that The Man put on
the whole armor of God: set out with a
new UNDERSTANDING of the distasteful work:
gradually worked out of his innate shrink
ing from strangers until he could meet
them with assurance
And. when at last he stood on the crest
of his wave OF conquest, he looked out
upon the opening of a greater channel
for his activities which restored to his
companionship The Little Lady and
lrequisitioned every requirement which
had come to him through victory in the
work that had at the beginning seemed
impossible.
Why" he cried to The Little Lady in
his gratitude and joy, II would not have
been equipped for this new and greater
thing had it not been for the Job / am
leaving; the job that was after all a
safe bridge across a chasm Of ignorance;
preparatory school for the real full
tillment of my life"
Which Is not a bad thing for us all 10
| remember when the work at hand seems
bit discordant or distasteful

being Christian in a little more than
tne letter of the law, The Man looked
70 1od TO keep His promise that all things
work together for the good of those who
love Him.
he never knowingly broke the Golden

Christ and felt the truth of His assur-
ance that those who achieve this thing

But after q little, he perked up his
courage and looked around to see what

He had to, since there opened for him
no other channel. which quite upset his
theories concerning the harmony of life
for the man who lives in the Christian
way.
So he went forth to the new work with
rebellion In his heart, dreading the un
familiar things along the way.
And 1t was as he had predicted. HI:
distaste Of foreign environment and hi,
shrinking from strangers was such q
Fhandicap to his work that, for a time
1t looked as II The Man was doomed tc

Realizing that II was so he sat alone
one winters evening in his hotel in
far away town, thinking of The Littl,
Lady for whose companionship he 81
longed: of the home in which he hac
felt so secure: of his unfitness for tn,
only work which had opened to him IN
his need. His thought was tinged with
bitterness. Then, little by little, the
habit Of faith taking possession of him
he looked the situation squarely in tn,

Women, young and old, should make
the most of this day. which should bring
strength, success and sentimental inspira-

1t is a most favorable day for weddings,

Theaters should benefit greatly from
this rule, which is believed to enable

American birth, finds such a handicap In
