tea- Organ of ihe Norlh Carolina Conference. SIXTY-FOURTH YEAR. RALEIGH, N. C. SEPTEMBER 19, 1918. The Uses of Adversity. A difficult and taxing job that must be done, a long and arduous way over which one must travel, responsibilities that try and burden and weary almost beyond en durancethese are not all to be set down as afflictions to be escaped from and avoid ed in all legitimate ways. Through all the centuries of human history there has not been found any way of growing strong, brave, patient men and women save by their doing hard jobs and going long, rough journeys, and carrying reasonably heavy loads. To insist that none of these must be for us often is to deliberately shut a door of providence in our own face, a door thatwould have opened up forus something altogether satisfying and worth while. Of course, hard work tires, but it helps to make fibre and muscle, both of body and soul. Of course, care and anxiety wear one down a little, but these may be the very things out of which a man will build up in his own life poise and patience, and endu rance and courage, than which, surely, there can be nothing finer or more splen did. --The Christian Guardian.
