What have storms to do with life? ,. ; What is there left after the earthquake, the wind, the fire, the flood? • a, Storms always destroy something. That is evident to us ail: Perhaps '• ' there is something in all of us that ' - should be destroyed. It may be pride, or selfishness. We may have !. trusted our real happiness to material rather than spiritual realities. : . Gold is refined from its alloy. ^ Storms destroy the dross. In si storm at sea, the captain of the ship may lose his life, but is there noth- : ing that endures? The sea may be v wide and deep, but the influence of bravery and faithfulness to duty is wider and deeper than the sea. Courtage and fidelity cannot be contained in an abstract universe. The power of the cosmos is but a symbol of - the power that m^iy be loosed in . human endeavor. After the storm ' the sea sparkles with the sunlight / of a. new day. Time is elemental ' . in the storms of life..' Faee the storm; assume respon- " sibility for clearing it®' wreckage, r , Do not rationalize concerning the conditions that bring it to pass. 4 Who is to blame that we had a depression, a flood, a fire? Our own ; ~ selfishness, our own carelessness, our own lack of prophetic vision, . ; our failure to study human values as seriously as we study human •V;'V desires. Nature grows trees to pro-* tect us from floods, yet we heedr . lessly cut them down to build our ; ' modern cities. We insure our prop- --erty and grow careless at the point ; of adequate protection. No life can be free from storms. \ but every life must learn how to bravely meet the storm. For life has qualities that no storm can de- ' }I,'~ stroy. Half the battle is fought in its beginning. Peace comes after the storm is over. "I love a fight!" Yes, and I can be "a hero in the strife." . -- • Western Newspaper Union. My Neighbor Says:= Te remove paper that has stuck to a polished surface soften with a little «live oil. • o.
