HAVEN'T TIME

(Written Jor THB SUH by the Rev. Charles Chandler.) VyHAT a common expression, and yet how foolish: " Haven't time." *4s though the whole business of eternity hung upon your catching that train, or upon your making that purchase. It is surprising how busy folk can be —doing nothing. Those who haven't time are seldom given time. They never succeed in doing all that they leant to do, because they want to do too much: a?id having done all that they can do. it's a question whether half of what they did was worth the doing. Talk about Nero fiddling while Rome burned. why, all of us are fiddling while the candle of our lives is flickering and spluttering away. A man can be very clever at running a business, but a positive fool at running his life —grasping at non-essentials , and chasing at shadows, dashing like a frightened moth in and through the fire of life, and then emerging from the flame with singed wings and a clouded consciousness. Most of us know quite a lot about ”a number of thingsbut little or nothing about ourselves. We haven't time! If genius consists of the infinite capacity for taking pains, then those who haven't time can count themselves out. NEXT WEEK; BEADS AND PRAYER BOOKS.
