I was unable to find verifi-
cation for this, as such basic
reasons do not necessarily ap-

But there was an unofficial and
more or less soto voce agree
ment that many highly intelli-

war veterans among them, were
knocking at our gates, and that
it was entirely plausible that
they were looking for a better
'ole" among the nations.

D1uC1eS, asking QueSC1OpS, max
ing experiments, staging riots
and leading rebeIlionS.
These things we all must do
If we would really live.
Yet no one can do them
without making mistakes.
A mistake does not necessari.
ly imply that you have lived
fooliShly or wickedly-
It merely implies that you
have LIVED.
It is like the bark on the
tree
The seam on the rock
The wrinkle on the flesh
All these things are marks Of
service
So is a mistake!
Accept and admit the Incl.
dents Of spiritual growth as you
accept and admit the incidents
Of physical growth.
You do not overlastingly mean
and blush because you once ate
too many green apples.
You realize that these in
cidentS were part Of childhood
growth.
Then why keep yourself in a
perpetual lather because you
made q moral blunder. That,
too, was part Of growth.
GET UP AND GET GOINGI
Stop crawling in the mudl
Stop calling yourself names
and Furnishing yourself!
Such wormishness does not
heal anything or help anything.
It is not even honest regret.
IT is just another way Of
showing.off.
And another way Of dodging
action.
But you're not fooling anyone
by it except yourself.
Why should YOU be so Snooty
over YOUR mistakes when
everyone has 'em?
Why should YOU take so
much time off for remorse
when everyone else is sticking
on the job?
Nine-tenths Of our professed
repentance isn't repentance at
all but simply ranking cOnceit!
We aren't grieving because
we've hurt the other fellow, or
failed GOd-but because we've
made Exhibit A look like . dirty
deuce!
CUT TT OUT!
Regret that which should be
regretted
Confess that which must be
confessed
Make retribution where retri-
button can be made
THEN GET OVER IT AND
GET BUSY!
STOP BEING SoRRYl
STOP BEING ashamed
STOP TRYING TO HIDE OR
FORGET PART OF YOUR
LIFE!
Accept and admit your mis-
take
Respect it and profit by it
yes, even be proud Of it
And grateful that you have
the privilege Of living, NO mat.

 Irish Soldiers
 "Also in the city of Waterbury are men of Irish descent who have distinguished themselces in the World war, many of whom still bear the scars of. battle, and wear the distinguished service crosses and purple hearts, as a result of wounds suffered in actual com bat with the enemy.
