.THE N H I P13 L'l I, I IIC If fl MAN'S GREATEST ENEMY- FEAR Fear is man's greatest enemy. Every person has lost something because of fear, perhaps even their happiness. Man's greatest fears are these: poverty, disgrace, sickness, water, accidents, and fire. None of these fears have a right to live. It is right to be careful, and to work diligently against failure and poverty, but what do we gain by fearing these things? Poverty has never been chased away by fear. Dread of disgrace on the part of upright men is pure folly, for no disgrace has ever come to them unless they have let it come. A person who fails honestly has no disgrace. Nu person regards it, except the unfortun- ate person who has failed and permitted himself to become a victim of a false interpretation of his own ill fortune. Fear is nothing but a feeling which peo- ple get. It hasn't even the right to ex- ist. Every year we hear of hunters being lost in the great northe-rn woods. Per- haps a loss of the sense of direction makes a man become more panicky than anything else. Sometimes they walk a- round in circles and fire sho-t after shot without waiting for an answer. By doing this they give up all means of guiding a searching party to them. Obviously, the best thing for a man who is lost is calmness, that which he loses first. They should never think they are lost. They should always think of something else. Have faith-Remembering that a man with faith is like a turtle going through the tall grass. How can you overcome fear? The answer is to take a new view of life. When fears come into your thoughts, analyze them, see if you have good grounds for their pre-sence. The chances are that the need for fear has not yet become a reality nor even have started. They are imaginary troubles manufact- ured in your own thought factory. Stop manufacturing t-hat line of thought, and open up a new line. There has been fear ever since the world began but it is not a necessity any more than mean- ess is a necessity. The book which has always had the highest number of sales per year, the Bible, emphazises the chief opponent of fear,--faith. Faith in God and faith in your fellow man. What is Faith '? Faith is energy, and like energy can be changed but never destroyed, Faith is everything and fear is nothing. From faith we derive cour- age, another opponent of fear. You have all seen a flapping pair of pants, an old coat, and a hat hung on crossed sticks in fields of corn. These were put there to scare the timid birds away, but now and then a wise bird cogn- es down and perches on it. He has changed his fears to faith and derived courage. Can we not gain courage though our own fears? Fears of life are nothing more than scarecrows. The first successful trans-atlantic airplane flight was made by a fearless young American, May 21, 1927. Do you think that it was anything else but courage that made him fly this dangerous course alone? What a sensation it must be to conquer fear? Vash Young has said, Let us all try to overcome man's great- est enemy- Fear. , E. Pearl Gaulcy ESSA RUSSIA'S FIVE YEAR PLAN- FROM THE VIEW-POINT OF MAURICE HINDUS To all appearances, Moscow has never looked as bright and cheerful as it does now, at the end of the Five Year Plan. Street after street has been torn up, and the old, worn-out cobbles replaced with new shining asphalt. The shops are neat, clean and well-stocked, the win- dows, once dingy and dirty now glisten from frequent washings. The theatres and cinemas are always over-crowded. There is also a stimulat- ed interest in literature and professional
