Page Two THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, May 6,1»54 Dr. Herbert Spough V Everyday Counselor What is your objective in life? What do you ' want more than anything else? Many of us are limited in what we get or achieve, because of limited desires. William Blake has a drawing showing a man at the foot of a lad der which reaches to the sky. About him flowers bloom, birds sing, and lovers walk arm in arm. Yet he stands looking up into the sky. The drawing is” entitled, “I Want.*' Little minds want little things. Great minds want great things—their thought wanders through eternity. When Jesus Christ was on earth many people did not want anything that He could do for them or give them. They let Him pasc by. It is so today. People wish Him well, but they have no sense of need for what He has to offer them. Where there is no need. Jesus Christ is helpless. Half of our people are outside of all churches; , half never vote One often wonders what they care for. There are others who are ill-at-ease, troubled, Dr. Spaugh or undecided. .They have just enough religion to make them uncomfortable. They want something, but do not know’ what it is. How many of us have a definite spiritual objective? To get what we want we must know what we want, and make ourselves ready and worthy to receive it. A man cannot neglect his educational op portunities, leave his mind untrained, and then hope by some magic formula to achieve culture and knowledge. In the business and so cial world we have our go-getters. They select what they want, go after it, keep after it, until they get it. Some things can be gotten that way: money, social position, political office, notoriety. These are but the trinkets of life. * The great things of life are beyond reach of the go-getters. The beautiful things of life are not to be had by runnifig after them. They must grow’ in us and we must grow up to them. A wiwnan once asked the great artist, Burne-Jones how he could draw a perfect circle with a free hand. He replied, “It is really very easy, madam. All you have to do is to practice it two hours every day. for forty years. Then you can do it.” All of us want happiness but too many are unwilling tp take the effort to achieve it Happiness is what happens in us, not what hap pens to us. It is not given to us. It is something we create in our selves and in others. True happiness comes as we practice the pres ence of God just as faithfully as the great artist practiced drawing a perfect circle with a free hand. Happiness is a by-product of love expressed to God and our fel- lowman. Personal and Social • • • News of Joanna MRS.
