Pag* 12, Waat Crivan HIghllghta, February 9,1964 Idleness (Continued from page 2) If only we could make people realize they do not have to be lonely or unhappy, with sagging shoulders and a burden on his soul. Straighten your shoulders, look up skyward to God, give a smile or a handshake let people know life is worth living. Find work to keep you busy and the loneliness runs away. John Burroughs, a poet, wrote, "An idle man is a wretched man. ’ Surely no one knew better than he the blessedness of work, of life-giving and life-sustaining work. Had he not been idle himself once, and one of the most utterly dejected of God’s creatures? Life had become empty for him, he couldn’t eat or sleep. Work saved him. Good hard work on a farm, raking, hoeing, feeling the good earth between your fingers, feeling a closeness with people and with (Jod, watching the birds flying, catching the insects, hearing the different noises, looking up, seeing the sky, the clouds, the beautiful things of God’s earth. Work while you are able don’t let your life stagnate. Keep moving—don’t let old age stop you from trying. A man is literally what he thinks; his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts. Man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he has no will power to resist—-but when he realizes that he is a living creative power and that he is in command of his own life—then he becomes his own master. The divinity that shapes our ends is in ourselves. A man can only rise, conquer and achieve by lifting up and doing for himself. Work for higher aims, ga,in experience from your failures by trying harder. The man-I-Yet-May-Be—yesterday I dragged wearily along the Man-I-Am—between the Man-I-Might-Have-Been and the Man-I-Yet-May-Be.But now, today, I feel that with Christ’s help all things are possible in a new-born life of today, and the Man-I- Yet-May-Be draws closer to my side.
