such an instance from real life:
A friend Of mine who lives in a small
town once made the mistake Of severely
criticizing the way one Of her neighbors
brought up her children; the woman to
whom she made this criticism was false
and promptly told the neighbor what my
friend had said Of her way Of training
children. This started little feud be-

TIE way OF GROWTH.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: We have
reached the end of another year with q
variety of experiences and repetitiens.
The world is not 30 different with the
passing of the years. 1t may affect the
individual different but it averages about
the same. There are pessinists of the
present who are telling US that never be-
fore was there SO much Of cheating, of
crime, Of suffering, OF want. But a wave
of all this has always followed war from
time inlmemoriaL And over fifty years
ago some rhymester wrote:
"'Tis a very good world to live in,
To give or to lend or to steal in,
But to beg or to borrow or TO get = man >
It's the very worst world that ever was
known"
The fact is there's nothing hopeless
but stagratoh. There's nothing so dis
couraging to the far GIFTED as Snug sat
isfaction with what is. To sit contin-
ually down with no. protests, no regrets
for the past, no desires for the future,
that's the state of mind for an angle
work or a jellyhsh. possibly, but never
for a human being
Let the old world seethe and boil and
ferTnent. Let humanity SuHer and feSTet
and aspire and attempt. It's the only
way Of growth. Never has one jot Of
progress been accomplished without such
ferment. In the end the real truth-not
necessarily what we think is truth, but
the eternal verdties-will conquer and
prevail.
The trouble is not with the world. It's
with US. We had grown so accustomed
to thinking that all mist go right with
US that we resent and fight even the little
harnesses of life as they come It's
time We got out Of the primer class Of
Life and learned our lessons like heroes
instead of cravens.- LIES trying to
teach us-shall we not learn?
I hope that everyone had a merry
Christmas and that the new year will
bring forth bountiful blessings, happy
days and sunny hours.
