I’ve just been thumb- , ing through a 25year-o!d book, J *‘R You Listenin,?” by Tony Wons, who, for a long time was one of radio’s popular philoso phers. Although written a num ber of years ago, its philosojihy is just as goqd today, and how modem it sounds. “How we lose our sense of val ues! If we want an automobile we don’t think anything of spend ing a thousand dollars for it (now it is two or three thousand) and mortgaging our future, besides . . But if a very dear friend asks us for a lo&n of a few dol lars we are likely to get a sickly feeling in our stomach and we begin to wonder if it isn’t best to break off relations with our friend. So we value a heap of iron iOr a stone above the heart of a friend.’’ He quotes these lines by Charles A. Branham: “Life is like a journey taken on a train, with a pair of tracvelers at each win dow pane. I may sit beside you all the journey through. Or I may sit elsewhere, never knowing you. But if fate should mark me to sit by your side, lets’ be pleas ant travelers—it’s too short a ride!” He comments that life is so much like a journey taken on a train and “it’s such a short ride!” We don’t any of us know just what kind of ride it is going to be, but each of us can do a lot to make life pleasant or disagree able—both for ourselves and for our fellow travelers. He goes on to remind us that success or failure in life is not de termined entirely by cincum stances outside of ourselves. “The truth of the matter is -that your circumstances, your surroundings, your chances, are largely depend ent upon what you are, yourself, inside.” So it is. The good Lord plan ned for us to have wonderful things. In His book we read. “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.” We don’t have to wait for these wonderful things until we reach the life beyond. They are being distributed down here to those who kndw how to love their Lord and fellowman. But the distribution of these blesings is laregly put in the hands of men. As we have at our disposal means of making others happy, so we also have means of making them unhappy. We can make our fellowman comfortable and hap py, or very uncomfortable and unhappy. It all depends upon what we give them. For some of us the end of that! journey is nearer than we real ize. But if you can read ..this, there is still time for you to dis tribute some happiness, some of God’s blessings to another fellow man. You could go to the tele phone and do something about it right now. You could write a! letter right now. You could put this paper down to say something kind, loving, and helpful to the one who is sitting by you. Well, what are you going to do? / MIK! J. R. Crawford SURVEYING CLINTON, S. C.
