1 Take Life as it Comes E oldsters are always giving advice to you youngsters. Often we do so just to satisfy our own ego. It gives us a certain amount of self-importance to say, Now, I have lived a few more years than you, you really ought to sit at my feet and listen. You just can't know too much about this your- self. You aren't old enough. I don't want to do anything like that. I simply aim to reiterate perhaps just one rule of life which you and I in our personal chats and in the assemblies together have again and again considered. It is as much your philosophy as it is mine . . . You, as I, have watched some people meet what we call adversity and collapse and fall to pieces under it. The very same experience has occurred in the life of anotherg and it is taken, built upon, and the person becomes even stronger and more useful. From this you and I gather that educa- tion does nothing for us if it doesn't enable us to meet all phases of life. For example, it is a simple matter for a man to be happy and even useful when all of life goes his way. When a' man's salary is fairly large so that he can buy good clothes for his wife and children, shelter them in a fairly beautiful home and provide an extra car or two-well, most men can be reasonably happy under such conditions. But suppose such can no longer be provided because the salary has been reduced or lost entirely or dividends no longer paid. just how a man stands up under a barrage like this is really what counts. If he moans 1 ,J about the government or labor or the capitalistic sys- tem or his boss or any one of so many things that we can always find to complain aboutg if he feels that he personally has been unjustly treated and singled out by God for his misfortune, then education once gotten, wealth once possessed, family once happy won't help that man.' He must learn that all of life was intended to be met and that he fails where any phase of it completely knocks him out . . . For example, you as a student aren't doing well in your studies. How you react to this experience tests character. If you bemoan the fact that the Lord didn't give you brains to com- pare with those of the brilliant student in your class, or whine about the fact that the teacher doesn't under- stand you and 'has a grudge against you so that you cannot do your best, or that there are too many chores about the house for you to do so that you haven't sufficient time for your home work, or that there isn't a quiet place around the home where you can con- centrate-well, I don't need to reiterate, YOU ARE LOST! The test of life is just what you can do under even these adverse circumstances-if they do exist, for you must keep in mind that many of our adversities are really mental rather than actual as you'll soon discover from those morbid souls around you who are always painting so black a picture they frighten them- selves and others to the point of becoming ineffectual. Remember this always: You in life will never be called upon to experience that which has not already QContimu'd on Page 963 , -3-
