about the ways Of gods. But
this I do know
There never yet was a great
deed that did not know it's pre-
lude of darkness and void.
There never yet was a great
soul that did not serve time
under Starless skies, by empty
waters, in silence and loneli-
ness-wondering what it was
all about. Wondering, yet
working on
And this I also know. AS
surely as there was night, so
surely came the morn. AS
surely as there was void, so
surely was something born of
that void. And none of that
serving was ever lost. It all
had meaning. . in the end.
Each slightest thought. each
smallest gesture. . each dis
jointed, despairing hope, came
to its certain harvest.
Discouraged?
Keep Stumbling On
Feel that your life isn't get
ting anywhere? Ready to quit?
Don't, my dear. The days are
not meaningless. The night
does have an end. Go on!
Go on cropping, fumbling,
building in the dark. Never
mind if you can't understand.
Never mind if you can't see
purpose or a pattern to it all.
There is a purpose. It is max
ing a pattern. For veal or
woe, every gesture, every
thought, every hope, is weav-
ing into a pattern. Nothing
will be lost. Rejoice in that.
Be warned by it, too. Pre-

void there will be earth. that
earth which you are making

ONCE-OVERS

Nationality Doesn't Count
Are you prejudiced against
certain nationalities?
Do you class all persons of
these nationalities as inferior?
Even those who have risen
above the average and have
back of them years of fine train
ing come under the same cate
CORY.
BY accident of birth your
family tree may be honorable.
Care and environment IN i'm
mature years may have helped
to advance you to an elevated
position.
But what would you have
been without these influences?
What difference has nation
atty to do with it if a fine
type of manhood or woman
hood is represented?
Certain nationalities have
been maligned. ridiculed and
imposed upon for years.
In spite of this some OF this
country'S foremost men and
women are of these nationali-
ties.
The individual should be con-
sidered apart from the nation
ality.
To be an enemy Of any per-
son because of forefatherS is an
unfair basis for estimation.
If you should go back a few
years you might not like the
standing of your own family
though they be of the nation
atty you favor.
