The Joy. of Accuracy
A rnumon fault and a common
element of weaknen is the habit of
exaggeration. You have often heard
a youn^ flapper say that upon such
and such an occasion she nearly died
or that there were millions of peo
ple

This is a habit tha’
into, but it is an e
te trouble is that people Ret to
tunting your statements and are
to believe nothing that you say.
; think that you always exagger-
evreything.

ts out that one of the values of
ying arithmetic is t otyecome uc-
o the joy* of accuracy.
If one will acquire the habit of j
statinc as nearly as may be possible
exactly what is the fact, if his repu-1
tation for stating the facts cleanly)
is once established, it will be a Rreat :
element of strength.

claim*. Then you will be credited !
with the hanit of truth-telling and
people will believe what you say.
There may be joy, a certain kind
of joy, a certain kind of joy, in j
exaggeration. It may appeal to the
imaRination to overstate thinRS.
But there is as much pleasure, af-|
ter we Ret used to it, in beinR accu- (
rate and in tellinR only what is true. |
Gabriel Wells had a Christmas card
in which he says that there are three 1
thinRs that constitute a rounded out j
life: Power, Pleusure and Peace.
The more we think of it the more |
this seems to be a very Rood defini- j
tion.
There is not much satisfaction in 1
a life of no power. What Rives zest j
to sport is the employment of our |
powers and we all applaud the victor I
that in, the man who shows the most |
power. This includes both mentality j
or mental acumen and skill.
As for pleasure, they have learned
a Rreat lesson who have found out
the abidinR pleasure of life ar
that come from servinR other
pleasures that we experience ii
ly receiving Rifts or benefits,
enjoying thing* that are our o
pleasures of possession and amuse
ment are temporary and they fade.
But one who devotes his life to
bringing joy into the lives of others
has an unfailing source of satisfac-
peace come* from the firm estab
lishment or connection of lif ■ w - ith
certain fixed principles. Th«*re are
<>me things which, when we have
decided upon them, we lay on the
-helf. They are not to be reopened.
One who is continually arguing the
fundamentals is always in hot wactr
and unsatisfied.
That is the advantage of a belief
in God. It is something fixed and
s tried. a central sun about which all
of our other thought* and opinions
may revolve.
Of course the belief in God does
not imply any congeries of fantastic
connotations. One's, belief in God
may take many forms, but it must
have a central core of repose. A
life without inner repose is constant
ly buffeted to and fro by contrary
