"A LONELY MAN IN LOS ANGELES

A. man from the far west, attracted
by my recent article on the need OF
friendship writes me one of the most
pathetic letters I have ever read; ,des-
| cribing the intense loneliness of one
who has lost wife, home and children
and is now alone in the world-strug-
Cling hard to make both ends meet.
1 wish I could grasp the toll harden
ed hands of this honest fellow, and
tell him how deeply his grief has
touched my heart.
His state of mind has been brought
on by constant brooding. I would
urge him to do his best to concen-
trate his thoughts, not on the past
,but the present, and the surround
| ings in which he now lives. A lone
ly man is wont to shun companion
ship of both men and women; this
| is a mistake. New friendships, do
not spring up like mushrooms over
night. 1t takes cultivation and time
for them to develop. Those who seem
cold and thoughtless toward us may
prove to have warm hearts were we
to know them better. He should
force, himself to make friends OF
those with whom he comes in con-
| tact, There will be some or perhaps
one heart among them, that will re-
spond to his longing for sympathy
and friendship. The past is past but
one cannot close the book of life I'M
til the last page has been reached.
An absorbing occupation and gentle
soothing companionship when the
days work is over, are what this good
man needs.
If love would come to him sec
ond time, it would be a boon of mer-
cy to him, sent directly from heaven.
Contact leads to friendship and if two
natures blend, a tenderer sentiment
may creep In. The thought that there
is some one to live for can drag a
man from the depths. of dependency
4 to tranquility and peace. He who
! gives himself up to constant brood
ing, keeps alive a fire that is slowly
but surely consuming him. He owes
it to himself to live and to learn. to
forget
