JpiftTl* if- -5>-*?r*' Thnidsjr, May SI, IM4 •w !!# >& ^3 3 -HOPE By LEONARD A, BARRETT V- ;••< '&• According to Greek mythology, Prometheus stole fire from heaven, nnd to avenge the theft the gods commanded Pandora, a very beautiful woman, to come to ivu-th holding In lA>r hand a box trom* which escaped all the human ills, but hope remained. While fear is the arch enemy of the race, hope Is Its, greatest blessing. To the person in whose hftart burns ttte light of hope, every cloud of discouragement has a silver lining. Hope wistructs a future which becomes a gort.-iof goal summoning all ofte's rength to reach it. Hope knows nc present tense, it functions wholly in the future. "Come ride along with me, the best of life is yet to be." can only be said by those whose lives are dominated by hope. Hope knows no discouragement, l^ause the „ latter is, a thing of. the present moment, and hope lrinterested in the future. . There is a popular phrgse, "As long ii there is life there is hope." The opposite is more the truth, as long as there is hope there is life. "When hope dies within the heart, a common grayhess stivers everything" arid purpose, atabition and even faith itself are near the end. No more severe fate could befall any pereon than to be bereft of :thfc light of hope^y ' • Hope calls out all latent energies ahil makes each adventure in life a "stepping stone to higher things." Hope quickens the mind, sharpens the perspective and' stipulates the heart. Hope is like the lighthouse. Out upon the stormy, pea it throws Its light. Penetrating the darkness with its *6eams the ships are guided to safety. Hop# .1s an innate gift, deeply im^ planted within the heart. We may kill it or eultiv&te it, just as we choose. tIt develops?,. however, through self-. Impression. "lf<we have no hope we are cSf all men most miserable." , f Pope was unknown among the anjcients as a virtue to be cultivated. .They emphasized coitrage, physical . Stt-ength, endurafld^, but seldom mentioned hope,. It is a virtue especially cbaraciuijstie of a Christian civlliza ilon. Hope is named as one" of the blessings whica^ sff ll remain, "Now abidethu Faith, Hope and Love." " 0 b» West#™ Naw>pap«r Union.
