MYSELF
I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit for myself to know;
I want to be able as the days go by
Always to look myself straight in
the eye.
I don’t want to stand with the set
ting sun
And hate myself for the things
I’ve done.
I don’t want to keep on a closet
shelf
A lot of secrets about myself
And fool myself as I come and go
Into thinking that nobody else will
know
The kind of a person I really am;
I don’t want to dress myself up in
a sham.
1 want to go out with my head erect
I want to deserve the World’s re
spect
But in the struggle for fame and
self,
I want to be able to like myself;
J don’t want to think as I come and
go
That I’m bluster and bluff and
empty show.
I never can hide myself from me.
I see what others fail to see;
I know what others may never know
I never can fool myself and so,
Whatever happens, I want to be
Self-respecting and conscience
free.

“THAT’S THAT”
■
Not long ago a man went to his
safety deposit box and took there
from a package of bonds which the
rascality'and dishonesty of some pro
moters had made worthless. He took
them home, dropped them into the
fireplace, and said to his wife,
“That’s that.”
What he meant was, “That chap
ter is closed; the loss can’t be helped;
so let’s make the best of it and for
get it.”
There seems to be a natural ten
dency within our minds to try to
change things that are unchangeable,
or to yefinish the finished, unmind
ful of the fact that constant digging
up the Past makes a hole in which
we bury our Future happiness and
success.
When you have done your best,
and seem to have failed, punctuate
your efforts with a period, and for
get it. Tkat’s that!
If someone has been wicked, or ig
norant enough to try to harm you
or interfere with your happiness,
you can defeat his evil purpose by
refusing to think about it.
If prices have temporarily dropped
far below the production costs, chaf
ing about it will not help either con
ditions or yourself.
If the bank has failed and carried
down your accumulations for the
easement of your old age, and you
can’t do anything about it, don t try
to. It is an ended chapter. That’s
that!
If your physician shakes his head
and tells you painfully that you can
never be well again, do not shorten
your days by dwelling hopelessly up
on it. If it can’t be helped, that’s
OUR PRICES
are as good as any other and Market and
Groceries as good.

ciate anything you do for them and help

that!
If the Spirit of God smites you
with the conviction of mis-spent, or
ill-spent years, if “sin has marked
your soul with stain,” you cannot
travel back over the years and re-do
what’s left undone, but you can lift
your heart toward God with a pray
er for forgiveness, and set your soui
with anew couftpge and hope to the
years ahead. Let the past go, live for
the present and future. That’s that!
When Pilate wrote the motto to be
placed at the top of Christ's cross he
was urged by the rabble to change
it, but he said, “What I have written
I have written.” Things good or bad
are done when they’re done. It is a
sobering truth, but it is so.
We cannot live happy Christian or
any other sort of useful lives unless
we learn to.accept and deal content
edly with life’s inevitable. No one
can have everything he desires, but
he can possess something. We cannot
have every success, but we can suc
ceed in so’me degree. W,e cannot all
have wealth, but by God’s grace and
our own efforts, we may manage,
even in these days, to get sufficient
for our needs. We cannot know much
about everything, but we can happi
ly learn much about a few things.
Pleasure and pain, sorrow and glad
ness, sin and rightness, are com
pounded in every life. We must learn
to expect, meet, and conquer the
evils that come to us, win what glad
ness and goodness we can, and not
worry about what we cannot change
or modify. That’s that!
A cup must be upturned to catch
the rains that fall from the skies. In
like manner uplifted hearts will
eventually find peace and comfort
no matter what difficulties and trials
must be met and vanquished.—From
Dr. J. W. Holland in Progressive
Farmer.
