Circuit Rides Again
By EVELYN WEAVER

AS l sit here to write my col
umn, I just have that release,
all-over feeling" You know what
I mean-there just are no special
programs, no headlines. Of course
there are always meetings, things
that must get done, letters to get
out--and income tax!
Monday evening found me over
at Bellaire at another Methodist
youth rally. They have consider
able more young people over on
the Ohio River in addition to
lot of enthusiasm.
Tuesday was loads Of fun for
our Cubscouts. Mrs. Boyd had us
over for a ST Patrick's party. The
boys had d great time roasting
weiners in the fire place, play
ing some special games, and try
ing to finish up their kites.
Sunday evening was spent with
the SarahSville MYF over at the
Emerson parsonage in Pleasant
City. Russell Hoy has said differ
ent times that we need to make
youth centerS out of our homes.
You can have a wonderful time
in homes, parsonages, manSeS,
and parish houses!
The Rural Life Institute is
over, but l am hoping that many
of the ideas which were explored
last Wednesday will continue to
groW-the Lords Acre Plan, the
church farm, resident pastors, etc.
Many thanks to you who support
ed this by your presence, your
participation, your offering, and
your work. Special thanks to the
committee headed by Mary Rich
creek for the work in satisfying
our physical needs.
On Wednesday evening, | be
lieve that we had the best youth
rally we have had for a long
time. For the first time, | felt
that there was a friendly, infor-
NAL atmosphere throughout the
entire evening.
Most of you get your papers
on Thursday, | believe At 7:30
there will be an Older Youth
and Young Adult get-together in
the Caldwell Methodist church.
If you have not received a card
from me, please feel free to come
tonight, that is, the 18th.
On Sunday afternoon, the 18th,
there is to be an Older Youth
rally for the whole district. This
is our first attempt at such
meeting in our district so we're
not sure what the outlook might
be.
When we try something new.
whether it be in the realm of
ideas, in the realm Of service, or
in just very ordinary tasks, we
must remember that if we have
an apparent failure, that we use
the past failures as guideposts for
future success.

James w. Sullivan

No doubt you have some very
interesting things in your life.
But there is one thing l believe
that can make your life a joyous
and prosperous experience, if you
but control your thoughts.
Most of us believe there is
nothing we can do with thoughts
of fears or the worries that
plague US from day to day. But
we can by practice eliminate the
negative thoughts from our mind
and it is worth our utmost eff
forts if we are to live VIGOROUSLY
and achieve the goals we are
seeking.
Life matter of adjustment for
most of our happiness depends on
our knowledge, experience, emo
tions and desires.
Today psychologists are en-
deavoring to teach us to think
scientifically and encouraging us
to concentrate our thoughts. AS
matter of fact, concentration of
thought is the key to solving any
problem.
More often we scatter out
thoughts about without solving
anything.
What kind of thoughts do you
have? We have all received the
ability to think and we also re-
fleet our thoughts. So it behoov-
es us to control them. There is a
proverb, GAS a man thinketh in
His heart SO is he" If we watch
our lives, we can see the truth OF
this proVerb.
Thinking is an. art worth cult
waiting. Practice constructive
thoughts. Keep in mind the good
you desire for thoughts do at
tract one Of their kind When we
have our thoughts reinforced
with good ideals or good philo-
sophy of life, we can do away
with much of our ills today.
But this change is thinking de-
mands courage and self confid-
ence, which we all have if we
will put it to work for us.
An old proverb states this
truth in these words:
''He that is slow to anger is
better than the mighty. and he
that ruleth his spirit is better
than he that taketh a city.

but they are being buffeted by a
