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 cer-t tain direction and keep on in a straight lme. That is the one best way to get out of a wilderness, just no\V, a good many of us feel that we are lost in a wilderness, as far as onr 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 as "as usual.' Our environment is strange and threatening. No wonder that w-e feel as if we were lost in a wilderness. But the hna 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 strive to efface his weaker feelings and keep on.
