Something To Live For
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1915. By Frank Crane)

Lying is not much fun unless you
have something TO live for.
Bread is the staff of physical life an
aim is the staff of spiritual life.
Without some goal, some object to-
ward which your thoughts, energies and
hopes bend. your life gets habby. II
also gets either cold and useless or fever
ed and poisonous.
BY and by you hate yourself And
others are inclined to make it unani-
nous
Man is not an Independent animal He
is by nature dependent He is essentially
social, When he tries TO so it alone, to
be sufficient unto himself. he goes crazy.
There are some people who are unbal-
anced because they have taken up some
absorbing ideal. such as religion, or pa
triotism, or money-making or music.
But for every one such there are twenty
who are warped, morbid, and lopsided
because they haven't any ideal at all
Hitch your wagon TO a star, said the
philosopher If you don't hitch it to
something it won't so.
What shall live for? You can answer
the question by another: What is worth
dying for? When you've found the thing
worth dying for you've found the thing
worth living for.
There's more stimulus in a great aim
than in any other intoxicant. Il raises
every faculty Of you TO the highest pow
err 1t clears your brain. fills your heart,
and raises your happiness TO flood tide.
Do you notice how happy the child in
the house is when he is made to realize
he has something to do. how happy the
man when he feels that a family depends
on him for support how happy the wom-
an when she sees that she is essential
to some mans or children's happiness?
In all this horror of world war there
is kernel Of JOY. The bitter plant has
borne at least one sweet fruit. Nations,
and the millions in them, have found
something to die for, hence to live for.
In recent book. From the Human
End" by l.. p. Jack. a distinguished Ok
ford professor, it is stated: The war
has brought to England peace Of mind
such as she has not possessed for gem
erations. That element Of 'poise' IN life
which Matthew Arnold valued so highly
has become an actual possession Of mil
lions in whom twelve months ago it was
utterly lacking. 1t seems strange phe-
nomenon, and yet il is nothing more nor
less than the peace Of mind which comes
to every man who, after tossing about
among uncertainties, finds at last mis-
sion. n cause 20 which he can devote him.

thing TO live for. and though the living
