This life is full of surprises, but
| one of the greatest of all is when a
fellow first learns that to accomplish
the supposedly impossible is a COM
paratively easy matter when he goes
at it with determination and in the
right manner.
Too many of us are prone to con-
slider a thing impossible without first
giving it proper thought and investi-
cation.
To us it looks an insurmountable
mountain simply because it is greater
than the problems with which we have
been accustomed to deal.
The man of strong force and char
acter finds it easy to overcome great
obstacles because he likes his work
and has confidence in his ability to
perform it.
The average man may become force
full of character through cultivation
of habit. And the cultivation of hab-
it is more simple and easy than that
of the crops in the field.
Obstacles are only obstacles to those
who consider them such. To the man
of will power and determination they
are as pebbles in the pathway of a
giant.
You can, if you will.
All roads lead to success in life. 1t
is only those who lose their way who
fail to arrive at their destination.
Energy and perseverance will &C
complish great things when they have
will power to spur them along.

AS THE editor
SEES IT

With the days of profteering near
ing an end we are apt to fall into a
habit that will be but a natural re-
suit of our period of financial pirat-
ing-the habit of drifting.
Men who have been making big sal
aries and huge profits will become
disgruntled when forced to accept the
reductions now on the way.
They will feel that their income is
no longer in proportion to their la
bors, and will lose much of the incen-
tive which has driven them at maxi
mum pressure during the past five or
six years
They will drift.
The American spirit of 81 Will" in
many cases will be converted into one
Of 81 May"
The dominant force of American
character will become dormant in a
considerable extent.
The country will sin down into a
languid period of drifting doing that
which is necessary, keeping heads a
bove water, but losing that tremen-
dous stride which has become so char
acteristic of the American people.
This is a prediction only-we hope
it does not come true.
Do you ever indulge in day dream
ing Possibly you do-most people
do at some time or other.
When a fellow day dreams he revels
in all sorts of fantastic situations,
He sees himself possessed of millions,
courted, admired, and a power among
men.
But he dreams of the actuality, and
not of the means of reaching it.
If men would devote their day
dreaming to devising ways of solv-
ing difficult problems they would be-
come in reality what their minds pic
ture them in dreamland.
Ten minutes of quiet concentrated
thought, or dreaming, each day-with
the time devoted to searching for and
analysing the roads to success in life
would eventually point out to each
individual the path most suited for
him to travel, and would spur him on
to the accomplishment of those a
chievements which now he sees only
in his dreams.
Ten minutes each day-only small
portion of that which is idled away
through life.
Why not?

URGE SOLDIERS BACK TO FARM;
SALVATION ARMY SEEKS MEN

(f1OuStOH 1OSt.D
What has become Of the American
youths who left homes and farms in
cities and in the country districts
when the call to arms came, and who,
though not reported killed or missing.
have failed to return to their homes?
This is the question that the Saliva
ton Army is being called upon to
solve almost daily in every section of
this country.
If statistics issued by government
departments at Washington are to be
believed, less than 8 per cent Of the
boys who left farms in America to
enter the war have returned again to
the soil. OF course the majority of
these youths have returned safely to
this country. but the lure Of the big
cities has proved too attractive to
them. Thousands of farmers, troubled
over the present situation with farm
help almost impossible to obtain, have
turned to the Salvation Army for help
The Salvation Army, in so far as it
can do so, is urging the return of men
to the farms. This is being done
through the various soldier clubs and
hotels which are still being maintain
ed at army posts and rehabilitation
points, and also through its close
associations with many men who have
been discharged from the service but
have not yet returned to their homes.
With the formation of county ad-
visory boards throughout each county
In the States. the Salvation Army is
leaving no steps unturned to locate
these men and to do all in its power to
induce them to return to their former
homes.

NOT A CHURCH GOING NATION
civilian G. Shepherd in Harper's
Magazine)

Facts about the interest of the
American People in the church are
interesting and enlightening. Tho
Protestant church, of which we have
struck an average, number POI diff
ferent denominations; it includes
all but the Jewish and Catholics con
gregations of America.
In these POI denominations il would
seem that every Ame<.can would find
some shade of religious opinion to
which he might attach himself But
of the LOG millions of us, leaving out
rs million children under 10 years of
age, only 26 million of US are mem
bers of Protestant churches, and only
44,788,000 of us are members of any
church at all-Protestant, Catholic or
Jewish. Incidentally, there are21S,0 900
Protestant churches and 1874 Jew
ish and Catholic churches in America
We may be a Christian nation, we
may even be a religious nation, but
who can say that we are a church
going nation?
About half of US in the United
States are nominal church members
but far less than half of us are church
goers. Our forefathers were the
church members and church goers,
but it is a fact, that we church goers
ourselves pay less per capita in the
United States today to keep our church
alive than they did, in spite of the
change of money values and our in
creased prosperity. The gain in our
membership in Protestant churches
last year was the smallest in twenty
five years, and it has ben falling off
for many years.
