A COMMUNITY LOSS.

THE members Of the First Meth
odigt church, who last night lost
their splendid structure by fire, have
the heartfelt sympathy of Americas.
The edifice was at once a delight to
the eye architccturally speaking and
credit to the city. It's loss can on
ly be repaired by larger and more
beautiful building.
Burned on the eve Of its opening
to new and larger growth, let us
hope its destruction will be but a
spur to those who have its interest
and growth at heart and out Of the
ashes of the old church, may there
grow a larger, better structure that
will as time passes on entirely re
place the old church in the hearts of
its people.

past is gone. Forget it.
A third type of instructed en-
ergy is observed in the person who
has succeeded in forgetting the past,
but is also inclined to forget the
present.
Living too much in the future, he
bungles the present.
You see this frequently in a me-
chanic, clerk or salesman who
dreams so much about what he will
do when he is boss that he fails into
state Of self-hypnotism and Sights
today's task.
All Of us, seeking success, are
ladder climbers. We have our at
tention on a man higher up, on the
rung Of the ladder where we want
to be. There is such thing as be-
ing so intent on him that we forget
the fellow below who is after us, who
wants the rung we are standing on
now, Sometimes he gets it, passes
us. Then we come out of our daze
and curse "luck"
The future is created today.
