Show MEDITATION by Neldon E. Baldwin Somewhere in this world of ours, this very day, is a man, ! a woman, or a child that feels as though there was nothing left to live for; that nothing matters; mat-ters; that no one cares. Folks, we can't blame them for feeling that way. We all do at times. Nor can we condemn them in their actions. We can help and encourage them to reconsider everything. We can advise them that carefull consideration might help them to find that life can be a little more worth while living. Yes, I'm sure that they'll find that the sun shines just as bright now aa it did when they were feeling normal, when their material ma-terial stock in life was on a higher level; and when they, themselves, thought they might suffer and want perhaps hunger. hun-ger. In this same sunshine, if they but believe in its optimistic benefiits, they are not only going to find health for the physical, but development for the mental and the spiritual as well. Their considerations are going to bring home the fact that in spite of all the selfishness, greed, lust, and avarice that exists in their fellowmen that there are friends that still possess the milk of human kindness, that still stand ready to help their fellow workers; work-ers; not by charity, or dole, but by sympathetic understanding of personal problems and difficulties. difficul-ties. They are going to find fellowmen that have traversed the same roads of adversity and that have emerged victorious and are willing, it besought in friendship, friend-ship, to give their counsel to a friend in need. They're going to find friends that will give to the last in order that they might be of service to humanity. These same considerations will show that after all there is something worth living for, because be-cause somehow, no matter how you look at it, no calamity, no adversity, no other humanitarian scourge can kill love, friendship" companionship and happiness.
