“ Memories”
During the last few weeks I
have become very much interest
ed in the work that I have been
doing, by this I don’t mean to say
I am not always interested in what
I am doing, you know that some
work is more interesting than some
of the many things that present the
idea of drudgery. We don’t always
j | enojy too much of this kind of
work.
Did you ever make a compari
i son of what you were doing to the
! ; difficulties that we have to con
| tend with in our daily experiences,
To illustrate this, I will use what
I was doing last week. An old
rocking chair was brought to me
j | to have a new back and bottom
put in. I guess it would be called
an “Antique,” now at one time
it was a perfectly good chair, and
lovely to behold, but terrible now.
Do you get the idea? This chair
represents a goodly number of us
folks of today, in our younger days
when we were able to render some
real service we just sat down and
rocked our back and seat out, and
now we are ready for the repair
shop. I don't know how the good
Lord feels about repair work, but
the most of us much rather deal
with a new job.
The weaving of the cane into
this chair revealed to me more
forcibly than ever before how im
perfect man is. All the time I was
trying my very best to twill that
cane so that it would show perfect
work, but before I could under
stand I would discover I had made
a mistake, either, I had skipped too
many canes or had not skipped
enough, This reminds me that-!
when we would do good evil is
present, and we do the wrong thing
when really we were trying to do
the right. Another thing, when we
first began the work of putting in j
the bottom, it looked as if it was j
g 0 j n g | 0 be a failure, but I just
kept going by my instructions. The
nearer it was finished the more
Jike bottom it looked. 1 kept 1
a on
^ there was nothing more to do, !
then it showed me what my efforts
had accomplished, a bottom with
out a mistake, even though I had
to tear it iswn so many times be
fore this goal was accomplished.
Now the application, there is a
lot of material around here that
may seem to be too old for repair,
but let us remember the old rock
ing chair.
The above experience gave me
a new idea in regard to our pres
ent work, though imperfect, we j
are always striving to see the per- j
feet finish,
