Irving Granville, Director of Pub lic Relations of Guideposts Maga zine. May I again recommend that little monthly magazine to the read ers of this column. “Slow me down Lord! Ease the pounding of my heart by the quiet- in gof my mind Steady my hurried pace with a vision of the eternal I reach of Time Give me, amidst the! confusion of my day. the calmness | of the everlasting hills. Break thej teasion of my nerves and muscles with the soothing music of the sihg- ing streams that live in my mem ory. Help me to know the magical restorative power of sleep. Teach mo the art of taking Minute Vaca tions of slowing down to look at a .flower, to chat with a' friend, to pat a dog, to read a few lines j from a good book “Remind me each day of the Fa ble of the Hare and the Tortoise,! that 1 may know that the race is! not always to the swift; that there! is more to life than increasing its I speed. I>'t me look upward into the branches of the towering oak, and know that it grew because it grew IF YOU DON'T READ THE CHRONICLE YOU DON'T GET THE NEWS Phone 74 slowly and well. Slow me down, Lord, and inspire me to send my roots deep into the soil of hfe’s en during values, that I may grow to ward the stars of my greater des tiny. Amen.’’ We may gain some things in life by speed, but we pass by and miss many others. This prayer reminds us of many of these: to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to pat a dog, to read « few lines from a good book. 1 love to go downtown, walk the streets slowly and visit the stores. Thefe are always so many friends to meet and with whom I love to chat. The automobile has been a great blessing to us, but it has also speed ed up our lives so that we don’t have time to chat with friends on the street corners and in the stores We buy books and magazines, but we don’t have time to read them. So few of us, and I plead guilty, don’t know how to trim our daily schedule to proper balance and pro portion. We try to do too much, and as a result, too much of it is d<yje pporly. • The majority of our automobile^ accidents are due to speed. And what do we gain? I doubt seriously if we are as hap py in the automobile age as in the horse and buggy age. Some of us are fortunate in being slowed down by the results of our speed which bring us into hospitals for rest and g-estoration. Someone has said that a man i* fortunate who is stricken with a malady in middle age which compels him to slow down and adopt a pace which en ables him to live more fully. Let me recommend that yon cut out this little prayer and put it where you can see it each morning before you go to work. 1 LIQUID OR TABLET* MISERIES .

The lazy and in different would be stand ing in line hours before wo arrived. Christianity does offer strength of purpose—the spiritual energy that trans forms duty into achieve ment! God’s purpose and the courage to fulfill it—these the Church reveals and imparts. 1 In this pre-Easter sea son of Lent the attention of mankind is focused again on the Cross of Christ ... on His strength of purpose and all that He suffered for us ... on God’s Victory for men. Our churches call us to the Faith which makes dif ficulty a challenge—dread, a stepping-stone—despair, a memory. is *sf # J • 1 COOPER u ■; u: MOTOR CO I 1 % : 211 W.
