Hung gently in the sky

To guide their courses by.

Thoughts on Life
Another Try
By DR.. JOHN w. HOLLAND

ILL WILL was l1OlOlilS It's
breath because of the tragedy in
the Pacific-37 American soldiers
returning from the Orient, ditched
upon the ocean and floating for 40
hours. Dead or alive, the searching
parties could not locate them. Then,
Ems. l.. R. johnson, of Minneapolis,
said to the commanding officer: LET
me have one more look. 1t will take
but eight minutes"
Within six minutes, he saw the
men hanging on to two little life
RATS.
Because this ensign said, 81 want
one more try" they were picked up
and saved.
This request, Zone more look"
would be a great motto for us all as
we face the uncertain realities of
the New Year.
The defeats of the old year stare
us in the face and burn in our mem
ories-the successes that did not pan
out; the raise we hoped for; the
age that failed; the health that has
not returned. What about it all?
Why not make zone more try?"
5000 Tries
One day Thomas Edison was
working in his laboratory, having in
mind the reproduction of sound
waves. He got the idea from a little
diaphragm with a needle attached
to it, which he ran down over the
little veins of an oak leaf. 1t created
different sounds. He wondered if a
device could be made to create little
"hills and dales" on a wax surface.
For months he worked at it. After
5000 trials, he sat down in bewilder-
ment, half tempted to give up. One
of his helpers asked him, "Do you
know any more than when you
started?"
Edison replied, "I know 5000 ways
it can't be done" Next morning, he
said to himself, "In give it one
more try" This was the "try" that
gave us the monograph.
John B. Cough in his youth be-
came an alcoholic. He tried again
and again to break his habit chains,
only to go on another debauch. FL
nally, he came to the place where it
was either victory or suicide. He
fell upon his knees and prayed to
God for strength to "try again" You
know the rest of the story. He be-
came the greatest temperance lee
turer of all time. God helped him
and he made the zone more try"
Have you been fooling yourself
that you can't rise above some secret
sin or vice that is choking the char
acter out of you and destroying youl
ability to be a man? Why not make
the New Year, with Gods help, tht
time for another try?
Or, maybe you don't get along
well enough at home with your owl
loved mes. Sharp tempers and the
grindstone of hardship sharpen w
your tongues until home becomes
sort of little hell on earth. What art
you going to do about it? Give up
and keep on going down? Some do
but you do not need to do it.
There are untapped reserves O
graciousness and goodwill within
you. You can learn to be patien
and self-controlled, with the help o
God. Your home can be a little hi
of heaven if you will "try again.
