EMEMBER, my friend who
reads, that the future never
AV comes!
Tomorrow always is just ahead
just out of your reach. Only
this minute is yours-this minute
that is passing now. One hour
from now you-the essential part
of you that lives and feels and
plans and hopes and loves and
knows encouragement and smiles
again afterward-may be where?
Who knows?
Visions look very, very bright
sometimes. It's because they are
visions. Created out of dreams
and colored by hope, they always
seem to wait where you'll be after
g. while. And If ever you do
catch up with them, have you
found them according to promise?
And have you ever, out of your
disappointment, looked backward
which is quite as futile as look
ing forward, all said and done
and discovered the happiness that
lay all about in time past, never,
never seen by your eager eyes?
OF course l know that you
understand. You and / and
everybody who lives have Done
these things more or less. And
a few of US have found it out.
After all, it's the homely things
that make up life, the odds and
ties, and sadness and friends and
acquaintances of day-to-day liv-
ing with which we are most con-
cerned.
Your work, for instance. Is a
wonderful thing. OF course, you
grow discouraged at times and
believe it will take you nowhere.
But you've had successes, haven't
you, no matter how small, that
means much?
Have you a dog? Is there a
book you love to read? Have
you a friend whose voice you
like to hear? Have you a place,
ever so small perhaps and not
at all gorgeous, that means
home" to you?
Perhaps you have all these
things. And another. seeing and
understanding, quite probably
would exchange his hope of
heaven for only one.
And while you're looking to.

row, tomorrow itself may come
along and take them away.
Consider, my friend. with hurry

never, never catch up to that

But NOW is yours, and it's a
wonderful thing!
