along the track a roaring torrent of muddy water the river itself from previous freshets was high over the flats and johnny was on the end of the bridge pelting the insulators and keeping an eye on

btjsh ini very thankful that though i am old and fogkylah in some things im not a pessimist ho far as present- day affairs are concerned while there nre a considerable number of things perhaps that i would uko to see a trifle nearer to tho conditions which prevailed in tho earlier days no one has over yet heard mo going about walling that tho good old times were so much better than these i realize full well and have done so for years past that we aro in an age of advancement that tho world is making real progress and that the old times were not better than these i had quite a chat with a young man of my acquaintance the other day along these lines ho is a think ing young fellow and has a very keen desire to live right and help folk but for some reason or other hfs outlook upon th ings generally is rather gloomy in fact said the young man sum ming up a long and gloomy harangue i hould say that the world is just as badly off as it can possibly be if it weront that everything is steadily growing worse from day to day 1 pregarded him thoughtfully you may be sure so you feci suro that the world is much worse oft than its over been before elck how can you doubt s it my vener able friend just consider tho strikes tho bolshevik but whats tho use of naming them all think of the problems that our generation has to face worse than anything yours ever had we had some pretty largo prob lems to face here back in the days after tho fenian raid and the northwest rebellion andtho pac- ciflo scandal i answered slowly it seemed to ua that tho world had never beon ho unsetted and then there was hamlet you remember dick the time la out of joint o cursed spito that ever i was born to set it right and back in it i bio days st paul you remember poko of his contemp oraries upon whom tho cnds of tho world nro come but wore still go ing on o i dont doubt they thought so a tlhe 1 1 mei my f r ten d th man shook hla head rather impatient ly- and i know youro an incurable opti but i dont see how oven an optimist can close his eyes and cam to what wo ure going through now any more than- he stopped to think of u phrase and then plunged on any more than a man could go through a forest in a frightful storm and disregard tho fact that boughs were clashi tlown rhjhtjand left and trees wero fulling across tho path in front of him i might have resented dicks atti tude but i never noticed it thank you richard t cried ln- 8tcadyou havo rglven me just the figure i need to illustrate the law of good which l firmly believe is -work- lng ahvayh in the universe in which we are living lirmo carry on your parable jusfcbneblbhougli the- earth echoes startungly- through the stillness of the forest and a score of falling trees is enough to nil the stoutest heart with terror yet all tho time hundreds of troes are grow ing up all round without a bit of noise or disturbance what we no tice a the thing that is unnatural the thins that goes downn when it hocornes the natural quiet thing for trees to break and fall and the abnormal and shocking thing for them to grow up straight and tall and strong then i shall believe that my unlveracjs- really topsyturvoy dick but not pleasoaodtib then the young chap sat thinking quietly awhile nfter that and then said well old man perhaps you are right ill think about it and i really believe ho wont awfty feeling that the good old
