THE DAILY MESSAGE
THINGS “CAN” BE WORSE ! Fancy having file nerve to find fault with Life while one can see, hear, feel, taste, smell, and move around and see a. bit of the world on two perfectly sound legs, with two perfectly good arms thrown in! ' Yet, knowing .myself, and how much ado :I oti.n nuipe about nothing, know , you sufficient!^;: to say that a twinge in your big toe, or a bruise on your little linger, makes /you sour towards the whole world, /That is, unless you are one of the real big hoys—and they’re rare. ' Ever thought of the fellow who can’t see? • , Ever thought of the chap who can’t hear'or! speak? Ever been brought into contact, with a man who- can’t move ? ’; ■ . Ever seehf’a strong man stricken down in a day with paralysis? Ever got to/know one of those cheerful. sufferers who remain cheerful even after a lifetime/I spent in an invalid chair? ' > Have you? You have! y w • And yet you dare, to go sour on the whole world because you have a pain in your big.toe’./ \Vhat a nerve ! —M. PRESTON STANLEY.
