ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HILL

And what is on the other side of the hiD7 There are for
ests perhaps, and sparkling lakes, and-heart's content. Have
you ever driven over the plains of Wyomingf If you have
you will understand somewhat of the desire to get to ones
journeys end. There are great stretches; treeless, waterless,
windswept, which haunt one, and in no little sense, depress
Not SO many days ago drove from Dixon to Rawlins. Before
sighting Wamsutter I wondered just how long the road would
wind ere the town came into view; Just beyond that rlse
reached still did the ribbon of road fade into the distance. We
all are full Of expectation and hope; and it is a good thing that

Why of course it is! We must pay the price for anything

you would be a runner you must train. To be a success one
There are two paths leading over the hill called Endeavor.
Let us call the first one Work-Path.
1t leads up and over the hill from the very place we stand.
It is a steep and rugged path; and strange as it may seem,
it is often lonely. There are not a great many travellers on
pleasant companions. They look stern, and a far away look
is in their eyes. But let me tell you this, the men and women
reliable. They do the best they can with what they got. These
are the people who have ha struggled, and dM VINO n. have e Experienced &c
pleasant; they realize that the worth while things are won
through struggle and stress.
Let US call the second one Shirk-Path.
1t is a broad way, and pleasant. We find a great many
drifters in shirk Path. Throngs of men and women are go
ing along this way. They nave a good ume TOO! Make no
mistake about that. They are enjoying themselves. The
shouts and the laughter rend the air. Life is so sweet! and
time is so short. And, listen, this path NEVER FINDS! The
people, the boys and girls who drift SEEN to find, but they
fail in the end. Are you tempted to take Shirk-Path in order
to be led to the land of Hearts Desirei 1t never leads there:
There is really only one path which leads to The Land of
Hearts Desire, and that path goes right up over Hill En,
deavor. 1t is Work-Path; The only way to get over the Hill
Endeavor is TO GET OVER 1T. Shirk- Path may lead for
a time around the bottom of the hill, but it at last leads up
the heights. And the trouble is just this, those who have spent
their time on Shirk- Path easily become discouraged, and they
settle down in Wishing Valley, dreaming how nice it would be
to be in the Land of Hearts Desire. They never try to get
there. They are contented with the rut!
Remember there are no easy ways of getting what we
want If there are hills to climb, climb them! If there are
hard things to do, do them! Never mind thinking about the
way to get rid of the difficult. 1T HAS TO BE DONE SOME
TINE. Here surely is a good rule. DO the difficult task first.
Get it out Of the way at once. The way to The Land of Hearts
Desire is by the path of WORK.
