tomorrow
; today is full of worries,
And the yesterday the same.
Hay be things will change tomorrow;
Life is just life that—a game.
Though you fail at every venture
Lose each wager that you bet
You may win a prize tomorrow,
Things may brighten for you yet.
Though yesterday has failed you
Never mind it’s gone away;
Try to rectify its errors.
With the chances of today.
Things can’t always turn against you
And it does no good to sigh;
You may havea good time
If you stick at it and try.
life still holds for us tomorrow,
As a solace for today,
As a beacon in the darkness
And a bright and cherry ray.
Something bright to work and hope
for
Just press forward with a will
Though today may be a failure
There’s tomorrow for us still.

THE ART OF FAILING
By Glenn Frank, President of the
University of Wisconsin and for
mer editor of Century Magazine.
W. M. S.
The regular business meeting of
the Woman’s Missionary Society was
held at the church Monday, Aug. 5.
Mrs. J. T. Mathews led the devo
tional, using for her subject “The
Laughter of Healing.”
Mrs. Jumes gave an inspiring talk
i “Spiritual Cultivation.” Other
officers made reports from their
departments. The Superintendent of
Social Service brought some cases of
need before the society and a gen
erous donation was given.
On Aug. 12th the literary meeting
The secret of succeeding is in
knowing how to fail.
It is not difficult to learn how to
succeed; that is to say, it is easy to
learn how to do some fairly routine
job well.
But to learn how to fail is a real
test of a man’s mettle.
I was once associated with a very
successful business man. At first 1
thought of him as functioning flaw
lessly in every situation. 1 thought
that, unlike the rest of us, he always
went directly to the heart of every
issue, saw quickly and clearly just
what should be done, and acted with
complete certainty of success. And I
dreamed of a day when 1 might mas
ter this art of complete certainty of
action.
“1 am sure,” he said to me one
day when 1 had spoken admiringly of
his consistently successful operations
“1 am sure that 1 make as many mis
takes today as I ever made. There is
a difference, however. In my youth 1
usually fell backward; now I usually
fall forward. At least, 1 think I do.
And that makes a difference of two
full lengths as to where my head
and brains are.’ ’
I learned from him that success
does not rest upon infallible judg
ment, but upon the courage to
periment and the ability to learh
from mistakes.
“No mistakes and no success make
a bad record,” was a favorite com
ment of his.
He knew that experiments may at
any moment produce a result that
will pay for a hundred failures.
The more successful the man, the
more failures will be found in his
record.
Thomas A Ellison once suggested
that nine hundred failures did not
The Eleventh Annual Convention
is now history. Brunswick certainly
did itself proud in entertaining the
Convention. Everyone voted it the
the best we have ever had. The at
tendance was probably the largest in
our history. Practically every Post in
the Department was represented.
Those that attended the Convention
got an insight as to the work that
the Legion is doing and into what a
great organization we have.
The parade was the longest and
best in a number of years. A lurge
number of the Legionuires paraded
even though the parade wa sheld at
1:30 o’clock and the weather was
quite hot. In the line of parade were
the Jacksonville (Fla.) Drum Corps,
the Savannah and Atlanta Drum
Corps and the Brunswick Band, de
tachments of sailors from the Coast
Guard vessells there for the Conven
tion and from the U. S. S. Yama-
craw. A beautiful poppy float
brought up the rear of the parade.
This convention was not only the
best and largest attended, but more
constructive work was done than
ever before. A number of matters af
fecting the welfare of the Legion
were acted upon.
In the unanimous election of C. P.
Graddick, Barnesville, for our next
Commander, the Department gets a
man that is entirely capable of car
rying on the great work of the De
partment. Charlie Graddick has been
a faithful worker for the Legion. As
District Committeeman his district
won the Spafford Trophy in 1928;
the district had the largest member
ship in its history. His work as Dis
trict Committeeman stands out as an
example for all to follow.
He comes from a small Post that
has a record of Legion accomplish
ments second to none.As a worker in
the ranks and as Post Commander he
is largely responsible for the splen
did record made by the Leon Martin
Post, No. 25.
The parade was the biggest and
best yet. But hot! Boy, howdy! Joe
Carr, the state adjutant, rode a
horse in the parade and ate off the
mantel for several days.
The shore dinner was held at the
County Casino at St. Simons. Plenty
of fish and allied foods. After the
gang put out in the parade they were
plenty ready to eat. At 4:30 that af
ternoon the cooks were still cooking
fish so the gang had plenty to eat.
An appropriate memorial was ar
ranged for the World War dead. The
ceremony of placing the memorial
Poppy anchor was conducted from
the U. S. S. Yamacraw which docked
at St. Simons. Miss Monia Michiel,
our poppy lady, furnished the an
chor. A salute was fired by the guns
of the Yamacraw. Several ex-dough
boys were seen running for the dug
out or seeking a shell hole when the
first gun went off.
The dance on the evening of the
20th was held at the beautiful Sea
Island Casino. From the looks of the
crowd present, everyone attending
the Convention was there.
The next Convention journeys to
Gainesville in 1930. Let’s go!
JUNIOR BASEBALL TOURNEY
IN THIS REGION AUG. 13-16
was held at the church. Mrs. Suggs j discourage him, for then he knew of
an interesting talk on “Primitive
had charge of the program and gave
Homes in Africa.” Mrs. James led
the devotional, talking on “The
Laughter of Death.” "Some Limita
tions of the African Home”, Mrs.
Williams; “Threatening Perils of
Today” Mrs. Pendergrast; “The Ap
proach to This Problem,” Mrs. Mar
vin Griffith; Conference song by the
Society; Dismissed with prayer by
Mrs. Suggs.
This trait—cowardice, and it is so
common—finds its origin in the con
sciousness that we are not what we
seem to be.
nine hundred ways a given thing
could not be done successfully.
Failure is more fruitful school
master than facile success.
It is futile to look for a system
that will spell sustained success.
Modern life anti modern enterprise
are changing too rapidly to make it
safe to depend upon any system.
Success depends upon the experi
mental temper and the capacity to
learn from failures.
The American Legion’s regional
junior baseball tournament for the
states of Mississippi, Georgia, Ala
bama and Florida, to be played at

pointed national representative of
tne Legion lor the region by Dan
Sowers, national commissioner of the
Legion’s boy baseball competition.
F’eezle will act as commissioner ior
the tournament, will arrange the or
der in which the competing teams
will play and will be judge in any
disputes which may arise.
The state championship teams of
the four states will play for the
championship of the region in the
Meridian tournament All four teams
wil be in action the first day and the
two winners will fight it out for tne
championship on the second day. The
regional champions will go to Wash
ington, D. C., Aug 20-22, to play
against the champions of the five
other regions in the easter section of
the country for the championship of
the east. The team which wins the
eastern title at Washington will
meet the championship team of the
western half of the country in the
Junior W'orld Series at Louisville,
Ky., Sept. 4-6, for the boy’s cham
pionship of the world.
The little brother was asked:
“When is your sister thinking of get
ting married?” “Constantly,” he re
plied.
The mule does his part in the up
lift of the race . We know a breed of
men who undertake it in precisely
the same way.
“The holier than thou” guy is sure
to see a sin in a hearty laugh and
finds wickedness in a bit of fun.
