Show Thinking Ja out LOUD A COMMUNITY INSTITUTION The Complete Home Newspaper This modern world, so full oi stross and strain, so lull oi storm and change, has produced in many a feeling oi insecurity. Our greatest enemy has not bren war or famine, disease or crime, but fear in general--fea- r of un-- 1 numbered things: fear of failure, fear of being misunderstood, fear for the welfare of our loved ones, fear of social disfavor, fear of disease, fear of incompcntenm. fear of competition, fear of old age and poverty, fear of death. Too many of us spend our days and nights worrying about the past and dreading the future. There are times when we must met crises, when anxiety and concern are inevitable. When such occasions arise, it is best for us and those around us if we can calmly and intelligently meet the emergency to the best of our ability, and having met it. put it behind us as soon as humanly possible. If we would but slop to enal-ys- e our worries, we would find that many of them are vague and indefinite and never come to pass. We must learn to get the most out of life from a basis, to begin each morning with too high a spirit to be cumbered by past blunders or fear of fuluie calamities or mistakes. If we must worry, perhaps we could set aside one day a week as the official worry day, and be free to enjoy life the remaining six. We have the power within ourselves to banish most of our apprehensions, to optimistically and confidently face the future, and to fill each day as It comas with hope, with faith and with courage.
