Then each reports her own re-

speech-making is very much a
part Of the Winthrop teaching.
SOMETIMES GUEST speak

But Winthrop herself Is

Know Wants
In Order to
Succeed

YOU'RE EDGING on-some-
where between 80 and 40. And
you're disguised. Where've you
gotten in life?- What have you
accomplished?
Oh yes, you've comfortable
apartment. A nice enough nus
band or wife. Perhaps a couple
of youngsters. And you do the
usual things. Go TO the movies.
Play cards. Have the crowd
over for a baked bean spread
once in a while.
You're not actually hungry
or shabby or friendless. Yet
you're sick of everything. You
don't get the old thrill out of
life any more.
Other folks seem TO enjoy
themselves. The kids you went
10 school with have surged
ahead. They're interested. am
bilious - full of plans. But
you're off the beam.
l have been thinking of a line
I read lately. Sounds simple at
first glance but I've a hunch it
holds the secret of most of our
human misery.
I'VE can't do anything until
we know what we want"
Nothing very complicated
about that, is there? II there's
one thing we're sure of it's that
we know what we want. Why,
we've always known what we
wanted.
Or have we!
Full Of Dreams
It's true that we've always
been full Of lather of excite
ment. curiosity, vague desires,
day dreams that changed with
every new notion.
We've seen curse Ives as
Hollywood actresses or big time
stars.
We've run a temperature over
scores of career possibilities
law, interior decoration, medi-
cine. art, journalism. big bust
ness.
But have we really wanted
to do any of these things?
Have we wanted to do them so
fiercely that we were willing to
accept the long drawn sacrifices
and drudgery they entail?
For wanting means more than
wishing.
Wanting means more than in
dulging in personal, private
dreams.
Find the One Thing
Wanting means a ruthless
searching of your own spirit
until you find the one thing in
life you can't do without
and then hold on to that one
thing through he'll and high
water.
Remember how you used to
drone through Gray's Elegy in
"FuU many a gem Of ptrest ray
serene
"The dark unfdthomed caves
of ocean bear
Full many a floWer iOns born TO
blush unseen
"To waste its Sweetness on the
desert air."

Spend Lives WISHING

That verse is still hot news.
Talent is still a dime a dozen in
the local market. Yet yearly
they pass unsung-the potential
geniuses who might have been
Carusos, Michaelangelos, Emer-
sons, Edisons, Joan of Arcs and
Florence Nightingales.
They spent their whole lives
wishing for fame which never
came their way.
But they didn't fail because
some person or condition double
crossed them.
The grimmest poverty or pain
can't hold back the man or
woman who knows what he
wants and keeps after it.
The others pass and are for
gotten because they spent their
lives wishing-they were chock
full of CHIMES but they never
knew what they wanted.
