MEDITATION
1'aradox .t 1 thought it be ?>nl\ that man is it rest who
attains it through conflict l'his peat .? born of conflict. is
not like the d?-adl> hush preceding the temi -st. but the
MTt-i.f and pure-aired quiet that follows it. It is not generall>
the prosperous one. who I. as never sorrowed. who is strong
and it rest II in qualit\ has never been tried and he knows
not how he ean stand even a gentle slun k. He is not the
safest sailor who never saw a tempest; he will do for fair
weather ser\i?r tiut when the storm is rising, place at the
impoitant p"st the man who has fought out a gale, who has
tested the sh.p. who knows her hulk sound, her rigging strong,
and her am lior-ilukes able to grasp and hold b> the ribs of
the world.
?When first affliction comes upon us. how everything
gives wa> ' Our clinging. tenderil hopes are snapped, and
our heart lies prostrate like a vine that the storm has torn
from its trellis hut when the first shock is past, and we are
able to look up. and say . It is the Lord,' faith lifts the shat
tered hopes once more, and binds them fast to the feet of
God. Thus the end of confidence, safety, and peace."

What's the R?sh?
IT'S THE TELEPHONE RUSH. Every night thousands
of service men and women dash to the nearest tele
phones to talk with families and friends at home.
Most of the Long Distance calls from camps and naval
stations are crowded into a few short hours.
Many circuits are likely to be crowded at that time
and it helps a lot when you keep the lines clear from
7 to 10 for service men and women.
