TAKE TIME TO THINK
K<*nneth Cadenhead
Mr. H. A. Overstreet, in his
book, The Mature Mind, says,
“Men are not bad; they are just
immature. Our problem is to get
them to grow up.”
Whose problem is this? It is
ours! If do not solve it, may
we ask, who will? If we exer
cise our abilities to think, love
and understand, our problems
will be much more easily solv
ed.
We say sometimes that we
may as well accept a certain
thing b cause there are so many
people who do so. We can’t ac
cept this for one thing could
lead to another and what would
he the final thing? Before we
accept anything, we should take
lime out to reason. W!e have
plenty of time for this, and we
were given a mind for this pur
pose. It would be a challenge
to us today to do our thinking
in situations and not let some
one els do it for us. It Is much
easier to follow than to break
away and pull in the opposite
direction; but if it is for the
right, it will not be lost!
