Something to
Think about
COMMENDABLE DESIRE
By F. II. WALKER

A LITTLE girl sees doll, and in
stantly there comes yearning
In her heart to clasp the doll to her
breast and call 1t her own.
|, She raises her delighted face to her
mother and stretches out her chubby
hands In pleadings that cannot be de-
MED.
A boy Graves knife, and he holds
to his wish until he gets it gratified.
Then he proceeds bOy-fashion to nick
things, which he has been forbidden
to cut and finally gashes his finger.
AS the girl and the boy grow older
their desires undergo a radical change.
With accumulated experience and
knowledge, they seek more substantial
possessions, good opinions, or a par
ticular place in the world where they
may become conspicuous and power
full
And thus all through life their de-
sires grow, assume new forms, urge
them forward or backward, mold their
character for good or evfl and shape
their destiny.
The desire to do good is the most
ennObling thought man or woman can
possibly have
1t Is the only desire that does not
warp the soul with selfishness or de-
strOy faith.
To build up images and to yearp
for things which can be of no perma-
nent use TO us or to our fellow beings
is but waste of energy which ought
to be put to better use.
President Harding longs to bring
peace to the world.
Doctors and nurses desire to heal
the sick and alleviate the pains of the
suffering.
There is a growing wish everywhere
among the enlightened to eliminate
the parasite, by urging everybody to
useful effort, especially the young and
those inclined by reason of their
wealth to waste their time in idleness.
What is your chief desire?
Is it something Of selfish nature.
agreeable or pleasure bringing. or
something which will some day prove
lasting benefit and blessing to all
mankind?
There is one intense, compelling ex-
pectation in the heart of every human
being which controls his or her life.
What Is yours?
If it is good. buckle on the armOr
of faith put jealousy, selfishness and
fear behind you and make yourself
