Show I8MliECAMGE(EniEl LLMER L. ANDERSON, 30 West Washington Street, Chicago, Illinois, found what he declares the most effective way to banish worry. He was so worried about thirty years ago that he almost had a nervoui breakdown. His father had creeping paralysis and palsy and had been lick for a year. He had been to a specialist and was advised that the medical profession could do nothing to relieve him of his pain and misery. Elmer was then 23 years of age. lie sat with his father and mother in the kitchen one evening eve-ning as his father repeatedly said, "What shall we do? What shall we do?" Elmer promised hat he would stay with his parents and help in every way possible. His father in relief shook his hand and thanked him profusely; then placed his other hand on top of Elmer's and his wife's and thanked Elmer again. The next three years of his illness that father was neipiess ana slept only fifteen to thirty minutes at CARNEGIE a time during a twenty-four hour period. Elmer and his mother took care of him day and night until the last year when they had to hire a woman to help them. They overcame their worry by doing the best that they could each day, putting in approximately nineteen hours of work out of every twenty-four. By doing this, worry seemed to disappear and they agreed that God took care of them, for their income was small. Their money seemed to stretch far enough to provide for necessities and even at his father's death they still had their property clear of any encumbrance encum-brance and had to ask for no outside financial help. His bulwark now if worry rears its ugly head is to pitch in and work the best he can and he has learned that if he does his worries always disappear. |
