Mast, the cartoonist, one evening
in social group drew caricatures
of each Of the company. The re-
suit was revealing-each one easily
recognized the caricatures of the
others but some could not recognize
their own.
Aristrophanes, In his drama 1.-THE

All this involves the interesting
paradox that man never under

it No person can gain true insight
into himself save as he objectifies
himself and makes possible the ap-

verse. Whatsoever you would laugh
at In others, laugh at in yourself.
AS commonly conceived, trouble Is
an altogether shattering experience.
Yet almost everyone has some time
faced a tragedy that pulled him to-
gether. He rose to the occasion. The
catastrophe situation turned out to
be challenging, arousnlg, even inte-
grating. Many people go to pieces
over small irritations--they fly off
the handle when exasperated; but

steady down, grow cool and col

together and rally themselves to
meet the situation.
In those who thus rise to the
occasion in serious trouble and
marshal their forces to deal with
it, one factor commonly is present
they are thinking about someone
else besides themselves. They are
not egoscentric. They met disaster
with courage and fortitude for some
one else's sake. If they break down
someone else will break down. Sc
one young American officer In the
first World War wrote home: "Yor

unable to stand up under strain ane

self-pity, but the man who has ex'
panded himself into the lives o
others will naturally endure TO-
their sakes what he could not brace
himself to stand for his own.
