WHAT WE NEED MOST
(Copyright, 1927.)
rpHE trouble is: We don't have time. We don’t have time to get acquainted with those who live around Hi and we don’t have time to get acquainted with ourselves. Just keeping the machinery of life going takes all our time. The two sides of our lives are the material and the spiritual. We can cave in on the spiritual side easier than we can on.the material side. We are propped up on that side with pointed props. We have 10 eat, and we have to pay for what we eat. Life is real and life is. earnest around the first of each month. If we shirk our responsibilities on that side of life we come up against hard actually with a bang. Materialism is not a theory; it is an actuality. The consequences of shirking on the other side of life —the spiritualare not so soon apparent, but they are equally disastrous. Those who do become shallow and cold, “And he whose soul is flat—the sky Will cave in on him by and by.” The thing we need irast is time —time to discover ourselves; time to think our own thoughts; time to stop before we have to decide; time to think before we say the biting word; time to put ourselves in the other persons shoes before we make our condemnation; time to romp with the fairies or childhood in the turmoil of maturity. Time is what we need most of all. And more than any of these we need time to visit our own souls, oar City of Refuge in times of trouble.
