Helping Others

You will notice that in each of the
four answers, the person was doing
something to help other people, and
not working directly for himself.
When Christ laid down the rules
for His followers, He never once
limited that goodness, success, or
happiness could result from selfish
living.
Troubles! Who does not have
them? If we could look deep into the
heart of someone, apparently the
most fortunate, we would find some
load he was carrying. Yet, Patience,
under any sort of distressful situa-
ton, will enable us to, not only carry
our loads, but ease the loads others
are carrying.
'Tribulation worketh Patience"
wrote Paul, and he certainly knew.
There is benediction in the New
Testament which prays for the bless
ing of 1.-THE God of Patience"
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-08-01
Patience Helps

Then Jupiter did another thing.
When he saw that each person had
finally chosen the trouble he had
laid on the pile, he sent a goddess,
named Patience, to teach the people
how to make their loads bearable.
Finally, as evening came and the
people started home, someone start
ed to sing, and the valley resounded
with their songs of gladness.
This is a myth, of course, but
Patience will help each of us to
bear his own troubles, and make
music out of them.
An English newspaper once Of
fered a prize for the best answer to
this question: who are the happiest
people on earth?' Hundreds of an
swers came carrying many beauti-
full stories of happiness. Out of the
mass of answers, four were finally
selected for the prizes. The prize
replies were: ia Mother Bathing
Her Baby" Pam Artist Whistling
Over Job Well Done" ga Little
Child Building Castles in the Sand"
"A Doctor Who Has Finished an
Operation That Has Saved Another
Life"

Thoughts in Life
Our Own Troubles
By DR.. JOHN HOLLAND

DID YOU EVER run across the
essay, written by Mr. Addison which
he called ''The Mountain of Misery?
He expresses in a semi-humorouS
way one of the greatest truths in
human life. 1t runs like this: Jupi-
ter, the chief of the gods made a
proclamation, calling all the people
to bring all their personal miseries
to one place and put them in a COM
mon heap.
The people came carrying their
troubles and tossed them upon the
heap. Some brought their long ill
nesses, some their poverty, and one
man even came Juggling his wife.
When the pile reached huge pro-
portions, Jupiter issued another or
der: Each person was to select from
the pile, the trouble he thought he
might best bear. When they had
made their selections, and examined
them, they were more unhappy than
ever. They grumbled and growled
worse than they had before. The
valley where they had gathered was
a pandemonium of despair. Jupiter
noted their cries, took pity upon
them, and told each person to select
again from the pile the bundle of
troubles he felt himself able to
carry.

director Of the Department Of Avi-
alton, Tony Schwamm, submitted
his resignation at hearing Tues
day, making it Immediately effec-
tive.
Schwamm said, II have found
it increasingly difficult to the
point Of becoming impossible to
carry out what I have always
considered my duties as director
Of aeronautics for the territory of
Alaska by reason of policy diver
gencies which have aggravated a
disability incurred in World War
H."
SchWamm declined to elaborate
on his reasons for resigning ex-
cept to say, Sim tired of investi-
cation. There has been one in
vestigation after another since I
have been in office, beginning
with the Palmer case"
The reference apparently was
to the charge that territorial Of
ficials, Schwamm included, boost
ed land valuations on the Palmer
airport site to get a better appro-
priation from the federal govern
ment.
Prior to his appointment as di-
rector, Schwamm had been a war

Thursday of twisting the meaning
Of the Soviet declaration on Presi-

pool atomic materials.
Dulles said in Washington Tues

have caught the spirit of Presi-

join with other nations in plans
for peaceful atomic development
and has made it evident Fthat lit
tie can be achieved by the contin-
uance of public debate"
Dulles referred to the Soviets'
qualified acceptance Of the U. S.

raised their demand for ban on
atomic weapons.

Elected President of
France on 18th Ballot

PARIS, R-France's new presi-
dent, 71-year-old Conservative
Sen. Rene Coty, drove triumph
antly into Paris Thursday. The
nations weary parliament which
elected him went home to a
Christmas rest and prospects of a
New Year fraught with strife and
divisions.
Coty, generally known to the
public and no relation to the per-
tuners, was elected Wednesday
night on the 18th ballot for a
seven-year term to succeed Social
list Vincent Auriol.
Coty's election ended a week
voting deadlock unprecedented in
French history. Previously no
more than two ballots had been
required to name chief of state.
