Everyday Lining
DAILY GIFT
BY JOSEPH FORT NEWTON
Copyright 1887. by United Feature Syndicate Inc.

Each dav is a little life; each night little
DEATH SO far as our personality is con-
cerned. we die every night, slipping away
into the soft fascinating darkness OF sleep.
Who brings us back, what brings us back?
We awake again exactly to what we left last
night, with never a gap i'll the seam, only
refreshed, renewed, our WEAKNESS gone, new
strength added.
Some one has given us the gift of day,
a valuable present new each morning, which
we take thanklcsSly for the most part 1t is
not yesterday we get back, but new day
of life.
If we are wise we ask God to give us
this day our daily bread" and we return
thanks for it when it is set before us. But
who thinks to give thanks for the gift of
the day as we'll?
When we open our eyes to the light OF a
new day. what riches are within the reach
of the poorest of us. The air. the sky, the
birds. the colors and scents and sounds-all
priceless things.
Nobody is SO poor that ne cannot afford
the WOnucr Oh Il summer IL IL d NllItli1N
to learn, a chance to be kind, to work, to
pray; blank check, valid for just as much
as we like to take.
Each new day is a new chance. 1t has its
duty, its burden, but it has its opportunity,
too. One can begin new things with new
day; to all of us hope returns i'll the morning.
If, yesterday, we were Slum, gloomy and
sullen, today is our chance to be happy. II
we spoke unkindly to a friend yesterday. to-
dav we can go and tell him we are sorry,
and make amends.
Yesterday, it may be, we were defeated,
but today we can prove that we are uncon-
querablc souls Yesterday we were afraid,
and decidedly foolish; today we can be brave
and face life
Surely it is hidden blessing that God
gives us only one day at a time. 1t is enough,
as if each day were meant to stand by itself
and carry its own burden, blessing and
beauty.

Be Quiet

There is a proverb which runs, when you're
ratified, don't rush." When you don't know what to
do do nothing. When dense fog settles upon
harbor full of ships, the only wise course is for
each to cast anchor and stand still If persists
in going ahead, it is likely to ram another, and
send both to the bottom The fog will lift if we
have patience; it is local and temporary.
When we are utterly confused quiet talk with
a friend a good nights rest and sleep, will often
restore good Judgment and clear purpose, Isaiah
says He that walketh in darkness and hath no
light let him trust in the name of Jehovah, and
rely upon his God"
When we are ratified, we forget that the area
of confusion is within If can look out upon
the universe and up to God, find that law and
order prevails; the cosmos is not tumbling into
ruins and God is upon His throne. Here is the ad-
vantage of prayer it takes us away from ourselves
into vaster surrounding area, the region of Gods
love and power undisturbed by the convulsonS
which upheave and dismay our little souls.-Dalas
