THE FRIENDLY PATH
BY WALTER !. ROBINSON

~ ONT count over your bur-
~ dens. They'll seem great
er If you do.
1t is always poor policy to go
about trying to find all the dis
concerting things along the
pathway of life. Those which
are of sufficient Importance to
command ones attention are
sure to bob up without search.
Never meet trouble until trou-
Bile meets you. If it's going to
overtake you, it'll do soon
enough. It is always good pol
icy to be prepared for difficult
ties In order that they may cas-
lily be overcome. But to be
prepared does not mean that
one must constantly go about
with strings On his fingers so
that he may not forget any of
the problems which are likely
to bob up.
Nearly all the stumbling
blocks along the trail followed
by humans In this world are i'm
aglnary. But for their willing
ness to admit that they face Sc
rious problems, most of the dis
contented would hardly know
that they are battling against
odds when they actually are.
Because one has to face a
trying task or great disappoint-
ment, does not mean that he Is
more unfortunate than others,
nor that fate has turned against
him. No one ever passed down
the pathway to the valley Of
contentment (as they believed
it) without working against
odds at times and not infre-
quently being displeased when
progress seemed slow. The
same Is true in the efforts of all
who have tried to climb the
steep places on the way to sue
cess, for neither in arriving at
material goals nor in seeking
the peace of comforting sur
roundings will there not be
some troubles which have to be
met.
But when one counts over the
burdens which he expects or re-
grets. the future will usually ap-
pear to have a darker aspect
than is justified by develop
ments.
IL one tries to find the bright
side, he'll usually be so greatly
enthused by his prospects that
the burdens will seem small and
easy to face.

Something to

THE SOFT ANSWER
By F. II. WALKER

WHEN you shall see, feel and
w know the sovereign power OF
the soft answer, you will not
hesitate TO admit its priceless value
In preserving the friendship Of peo-
pies and nations.
Though a sponsor or all that Is
good and noble in mankind there is
an Illogical willingness in most of
us to shun its charming companion
ship and turn to rougher acQuaint-
ances
When the world Is jangling and
vicious tongues are splitting fire and
birthstone, 1t Is quite natural for us
to pile more fuel on the flame, re-
gardless of the spreading confagra-
ton, even though 1t be singeing the
good names of our friends.
We lose our grip on self-respect
until calmness comes with after
thought, and shows us the error OF
our way.
For days we move shame-facedly
from pillar to post, avoiding the
friends we have hurt. And aside
from the terror Of separation which
confronts US. we are tornented oy

remorse which undoes our nerves an6
throttles our spirits.
Then, as the scales fall from oul
eyes we become penitent.
AS we reflect upon our behavior
we realize that our miseries come
from our own workshop. They are
not ground out In the mill Of fate
tied In bulging bags and delivered al
our door, as apologetic folk would
have us believe. but of our own grind.

fulness, which comfort and delight In
the darkest days Of sorrow, and warm
In winters cold.
Their influence for good Is as Inn

Perhaps you may have friends
among these kindly persons to whom
you turn when difficulties torment,
life's skeins are tangled and your
heart Is burdened beyond Its
strength. If you have, heaven in
deed has blessed you.
Observe the lightness Of their eyes

the musical intonation OF the voice
when it answers softly. Aud as you
do. resolve that you, too, will wed
your tongue to the soft answer that

LYRICS

THE USUAL LIFE

7 DO NOT wish you riches, friend.
Il For riches may not stay
So much we lose, SO much we lend,
So much we throw away.
I wish you only smiles through tears
And glad days in the saddest years.
I do not wish you cloudless skies;
They can't be always fair.
But may the sun that sinks arise,
The heart arise from care.
You must have clouds, but may they
show
A silver lining somewhere. though.
I do not wish you only ease,
No toll for hand or brain;
They are but parasites, are these
Who live by others pain.
No, something must your life employ
But may your labor be Joy.
I do not wish you, friend, too much,
Each day a day of sun;
I wish you only treasurers such
AS other men have won.
And better friend am I than they
Who wish for you cloudless day.
l wish for you modest part,
And simple joys for you;
And then I hope with all my heart
That simple dream comes true.
l wish you toll, and merriment-
The usual life, with life content.
