SWINTON PARK admiration for . signs of knowing where they‘ re @0- ing while they‘re on their way. The1e be (038 whose mims are engaged in planning the future for their young ones. They are choos- ing careers for them and they are anxious to discover the trend of the children’s mindsâ€"whether this one should be a carpenter, an engineer, a lawyer or a chicken farmer. This is not the important thing. The first thing that should be done is to find out if the young one is at home in a crowd. There be vast numbers of people in the world today who are lost in the crowd. There is nothing what- ever the matter with them save that they are bewildered, confused. They have lost their sense of direction; in other words, they don’t know where they are at. These are the people who ball things up. A pig always knows where he’s going. He has it all figured out. Take a look at. a pig going across a field or through the woods 'or along the highway and you cannot but be imâ€" pressed by the confident and reso- lute air of the beast. He knows' where he is at. And a bug. Locate1 a hug and it‘ you would spend a de- lightful hour or two. follow him. He will fascinate you. Just a mere bug but he is thrilling. You will soon be impressed by the tremendous fact that he knows where he is at. The majority of folks when they see a ibug striddling around seem to think he«is deing it for his health, or be- cause he don’t. know no better, or just. because. There never was a greati’ir mistake. That hug not only knows where he is at. but. what he is at. He hath destination. a goal'in \‘it‘\\", and he is going to get. there whether sehonl keeps 01‘ not. Is it. not, humiliating to think and know that we {1P0 surrounded by lymph) who aw nut in Hm same class with Mistm' Bug? The swine had the advantage and “mm SllpPl‘iO!‘ t0 tlw Prmligal Sun iwcause awry one. of WWW where he was at. If I had a hoy of my own I’d find out. if the young one could go it alone. 1 know that these people are few. but they are the only absolutely necessary people on earth. The Messed Nazarene went alone into the wilderness for forty days and forty nights. \\'hen,you read His womlerfnl story and realize the crowd He travelled with you can‘t wonder that he. wanted to get away hack to the hush somewheres for a few weeks. Had I a boy of my ovm who could go it. alone. I'd feel kind of sorry, too. The crowd would kill him in he long run. Men are gregar- ions animals and they have the herd instinct. If you dwell apart from them they don’t like it. The great tones of earth. those of them who passed away in their beds. died of lmiesomeness. There is a Latin word There be people in every crowd who are simply wandering around looking for a place to sit down, to lie down, or a corner to die in. They never seem to be doing anything else. They are lost in the crowd, which is quite as terrifying as to he lost in the desert. But there be folk who are never at home but in a crowd. They won’t work alone. They have got to have the Missus with them if .no' one else, or one of the children. One of them couldn't shingle a barn by himself in a lifetime. They are the happiest people in the long run. but the trouble is they must be in their own crowd or they are help- less. of despair, heartbré'nk, infirm liness. I have often wondered how He tolerated some of that bunch. You can travel with your crowd and yet, be alone. Columbus. was alone, although he was surrounded with a gang of alleged humans. Jul- ius Caesar and Elizabeth Cromwell and Lincoln were alone. Find out if your boy can go it alone, would rather go it alone. Then get busy, for you have a tre- mendous thing on your hands. Is there a great and splendid undertak- ing anywhere. When it. is accom- plished it can he said of some one man : Alone he did it! Listowel is to get, a new. furniture factory.
