DO YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Young man, do you believe in your
self? Do you regard your advent
into the world and your very exist
ence as part Of the plan of crea-
ton, or do you by your general de-
meanor indicate that you regard
yourself as a mistake, inferring by
your indifference that it does not
make much difference where you go,
what you do or what becomes Of you.
The first step to success is for the
young person to be convinced that
he is one of the numerous cogs in the
scheme of creation that was intend
ed by the Creator to mesh with the
other cogs in this great machine in
order that the world might move for
ward in peace and harmony. The spir-
it of indifference so prevalent among
young America today is the direct
cause of so much crime, vice and
ruined lives that has nearly thrown
the world into social commissions the
past ten years; and if this tendency
is not arrested we fear that the Unit
ed States will eventually come to
complete state Of decadence.
When a task is assigned the young
people they are becoming too prone
to undertake it with the thought that
"If l fail at this, can try my luck
at something not quite so difficult"
or they figure "that if l lose this job
l can get another one just around
the corner or in the next town." That
idea is grossly erroneous. When
task is assigned you, regardless of
how intricate it may appear, you
should feel complimented by the con-
fidence placed in you by the super
Tor one who thought that you were
equal to the occasion-and you should
exert every sinew of your being rath-

CAN AMERICA ONLY BE
TOUCHED BY CATASTROPHE

,Forty-seven miners, found dead in
The Argonaut gold mine at jackson,
California, on September 18th. The
news of the untimely death of this
great nNmber of men who were cut
off from escape by fire that was
raging above them, cast a pail OF
gloom over the people of the United
States. 'Tis such pity to hear OF
such stalwart men being cut off from
their families by such premature and
cruel death. We did not sleep well
the night after the news came out
that their demise had been definitely
ascertained, and though our mind
was again engulfed by storm of de-
preston when we read Of how the
decomposed bodies were brought to
the surface of the earth and placed
in caskets, two by two, we were i'm
pressed with the fact that it ap-
pears necessary for catastrophe to
take place before our people can be
visibly affected.
In any two of our greatest cities
every twelve hocrs, day after day,
there are many deaths, as much grief,
as many heart aches as there were
in jackson, California, when the
deaths of these AZ men were announc-
ed, and yet the people seem indiffer-
ent as to the every day, ordinary SUI
fering that is quickening the pulse
of and throwing the world into few
erish state of anxiety. Week after
week, month by month, and year by
year, ministers are on the stump and
in the pulpit imploring the public to
assist in the alienation of the suffer
ing of humanity, but when the col
lection plate is passed, the donations
are very meager, not nearly common
surate with the great effort made by
the speaker, nor adequate to finance
the cause he is espousing.
From history we are impressed
that the people demand a real ca
tastrophe in which many people lose
their lives before they are willing to
loose their purse strings. For in
stance we recall the Iriquois fire, the
Galveston flood, the San Francisco
earthquake, and the Argonaut mine
could not do enough for the victims,
lavishing funds, caskets and cloth
ing. Their help was commendable,
but is it not fact that great numbre
of people must be killed, the casket
supply exhausted and the hearses
overtaxed before our people can be
moved to compassion as they should
be?-Hugoton Journal.
