The Value of Hardships

just now every one has a kick of some kind to
register against so-called adverse fate One is
out of work; the other finds commodities selling
for less than he paid for them; some are hard
pressed to finance their business: others Won
dering when they will be able to resume opera
tons. And so all of us, in of depression,
feel gloomy and respondent.
But why contemplate the dark side of the
picture? Why not wonder what depression may
teach?
In the season Of high prices, initiation and
golden prosperity we sailed with the wind and
tide 1t was easy going. Money and money
went, and we believed this condition would go on
forever. 1t took little exertion, little planning
little study to obtain what we wanted
And what was the result? AS individuals we
became flabby and soft. Our business organiza-
tions lost their initiative and energy. We be-
came floaters calm sea of prosperity.
Now comes period in which conditions are
radically changed. We are forced to fight for
results. Success no longer comes our way I'M
asked and unsolicited; we are compelled to seek
it.
It's reversal of conditions and, because we
do not grasp it completely, we are losing time in
accommodating our mental operations to changed
conditions. Years of easy-going prosperity have
put out of form, to use sport expression We
dread to strain our muscles, use our brain power
and exert our full energy to obtain results. We
are out of the habit of doing so. and it will re-
quire little time before we realize that it is ab~
solutely necessary for our we'll being.
Some individuals and organizations are carry
ing heavy loads now. Odds are against them. It
will require all their strength, their ability, their
sagacity and energy to escape But what indi-
vidual or organization ever attained eminent
success without being forced to make at some
period intense struggles against great handcaps?
The vrile and strong individuals and organiza-
tions the ones that have the right to exist, will
be able to preserve themselves by virtue of the
new energy and vitalizing power which they gain
by battling against the opposition.
The weaklings will go down in this fight.
They will lose heart and hope, not because in
surmountabe conditions are crushing them, but
because they lack stamina to continue the fight
until they gain victory.
Every individual and organization that
energies from the present season of depression,
intact and buoyant, will be that much stronger
for the conflict against adversely which was
waged.
Adversely develops strength and stamina.
Prosperity enervates men, organizations and ma
tions.

Edison's Imagination

If Mr. Edison lacked imagination to create
and faith to carry out his plans, the world would
be deprived of many inventions which this wizard
has perfected. The anniversary of his birthday
last week emphasized the principles upon which
he founded his success.
create an incandescent light, many scientists and
near-scientists laughed at the idea of light pro-
duced by a thin strip of non-conducting material
contained in a vacuum and heated to incan-
descence by an electric current.
But the inventor paid attention to the
scoffers content to let his intellect guide him in
the attainment of venture which his magma
ton had suggested as being feasible. The realiza-
ton of his efforts sienced the critics who lacked
the inventors imaginative power.
Back of every successful enterprise is found
the alert imagination of man or woman who has
a vision The progress of the world is attribut-
able to men who have ideas and are able to work
them out in practice.
The savage who imagined that stick tied to
stone would be better weapon of offense and
defense than stone or club, and then tested
out his theory in practice, possessed mental quail
lies that elevated him above his fellow men,
Jeers and mockery from his associates probably
followed his announcement of the scheme but
the erstwhie detractors soon became his admir-
erS.

Revering the Name of the Deity

] The Holy. Name society of ST. Andrew
church will strive to teach reverence for the
sof the Deity and will oppose profanity.
Americans are accused by other nations of
being the most profane people on the globe. The
charge probably is, true. Little reverence is
shown for the name of the Deity and holy things
generally by the average man. We abuse the
name Of God with impunity and lightly refer to
I The sacred ordinances of His church.
\ All of US should establish censorship over
our tongues to refrain from using Gods name in
vain in our conversation Profanity has become
so habitual with many of us that we can hardly
utter sentence without using the name of per-
son Of the Trinity.
The English language is rich enough to supply
us abundantly with words and phrases to express
our thoughts without resorting to an emphatic
of the name of God. All of us will derive a
benefit from entering into the spirit with which
the Holy Name society was organized and strive
to keep our conversation free from profanity and
the unnecessary use of Gods name.
