KEEP ON

AS some of us know, when you are lost in a wilderness, the one worst thing you. can do is to sit down. No matter how tired and bewildered you are, you must keep on. You must look at whatever signs there are, and choose a certain direction and keep on in a straight line. That is the one best way to get out of a wilderness. Just now, a good many of us feel that we are lost in a wilderness, as far as our business affairs are concerned. We don t know what to do. Our past experience is not of much value to us, as we are in a new situation. Almost nothing is "as usual." Our environment is strange and threatening. No wonder that we feel as if we were lost in a wilderness. But the one worst thing we can do is to sit still and do nothing. We must take action, because inertia is fatal. The present situation is temporary. That is the vital fact that we must not forget. There is no wilderness so vast that we cannot get out of it. This is a time when a man must resolutely master his weaker feelings and keep on.
