NOT SATISFIED WITH FATE
Most Of Us Have Some Kind Of Q
Crouch az to How We Have
Been Used.

As a rule we all hold a crouch
against life. because Of the one thing
h a We think should have happened
to us and did not. This Is not O new
idea; 1t has been worked over and
over. but, just the same, IL we take
the time to look a little more deeply
into u hearts than we sometimes
like to do we are very likely to find
there a certain degree of resentment
against life, or fate, or circumstances
because some one outstanding thing
has not happened to us, something
that we would have liked to have
happened and which we believe would
have contributed In large measure to
our happiness. OF course, the some
thing that we have in mind differs with
each individual; 1t may be a blessing
that we just missed or something that
we never had the least idea Of obtain
ing; 1t may have to do with our per-
sonal happiness or our personal sue
cess; 1t may have been the one thing
necessary to round out q beautiful life
or it may have been the one thing that
would have brought us disappointment,
but whatever 1t was we know that we
longed for 1t with all our heart and
because 1t v happened to us, and
never win happen to us as far as we
a see, we continue to want It and to
feel hurt and injured because we have
not obtained It. We may not look
upon such a condition as a blessing
In disguise because most of us prefer
blessings in plain view and be-
yond all shadow Of doubt or misunder-
standing.-Charleston News and Cour-

its starving people. Each machine
