At Camp Butner
Somehow, it Reems a bit inhuman
to climb upon the prostrate form
of a fellow man to surmount our
Own misfortunes. How many tircus
have we been told and told our
selves that we should be thank
ful we are not as bad off as Mr. X.
When we develop a streak of un
usually hard luck, we are reminded
that Mary so-and-so was so very
much worse off than we were.
When we decide that things are
about as bad as they can reason
ably be, some kindly neighbor tells
bs about the terrible condition in
which her neighbor is situated,
hoping to increase our confidence
hi ourselves, not realizing that
this is pushing poor neighbor low
er in her woes.
Just get a pain-wracking tooth
ache and l:t Mrs. Calamity call
upon you. In a second, your tooth
ache is a mere nothing as compar
ed to the toothache Mrs. Calamity
had in '26. By the time you get
the full details, you have decided
to call the whole thing off and
never mention toothache again.
Perhaps there is something com
petitive in our make-up and we are
supposed to take up cudgels in our
own d:fense but the fight, in so
many cases, is too one-sided to put
up a proper guard.
Suppose, the next time that Old
Man Trouble lands a Solar Plexis
blow yru beat Mrs. Calamity to
the draw and tell yourself that
your own case might be worse. It
will come hard at first to convince
yourself that the clouds could be
any blacker, the load any heav
ier. Sort of figure out the good
things left to you; try to brighten
up the drab condition that envelop
es you; lift up the curtain and see
if ycu can't locate a patch of blu?
in the sky. Nine times out of ten
you'll find a remedy without hav
ing to resort to giving some one
else a knock-out drop so you can

feel quite superior in your own
individual ailment.
Sometimes there comes to one a
sorrow, a tragedy, an illness, too
deeply planted to b; lightly treated
We have to dig our heels deeply
into our will power and forget that
things might be worse. We must
fight t ocome up to our own level
of life again, remembering that
"This, too, will pass away," and
that we have it within us to rise
above the shadow in which we are
now standing.
But let us rise by our own reas
oning and not by pushing down
someone else and then stepping
upon the prone body to ease our
mental and physical pain.
