Show Advice leads us up to a stone wall through which few of us are able to pound a passage. Many times I havo wished that I could write jou moro closely on tho scenes whero somo of my lunch hour talks nro given. This month I spent a half hour at noon with somo thirty mill men nnd while I Interested them ftune they Interested In-terested me much. It would bo groat recreation for mo to have n bench In that mill and spend a half dny n week at It making convenient con-venient things for the houso or playthings play-things for tho children. It does mo good to work with workers work-ers and think with thinkers. Onco I sat on tho bench with a Judge. Another An-other tlmo I sat In n pulpit with a minister. Again I helped a farmer burn tho brush In his npplo orchard. Kor a fow weoks I took chnrgo of a collopo friend's modlcil practice In a ; village wlillo ho wont to Callfort la for j a vacation. I wish I could do your , work for n week nnd let you do tho things you wish to. i What would you do If you had plenty of tlmo nnd money? What do you want to know moro about? This Is what I want to know more about how to help pooplo got beyond that stono wnll up to which good ndvlco lends them nnd thero leaves thorn. It seems to mo I nm too slow In Interesting In-teresting them In self-cflort nnd I know too little about tho tools and how lo uso them. Just when I am roady to glvo up some ono tolls mo that I havo helped him or her got through nnd then I begin with a now breath to encourage en-courage others nnd explain tho plan of action. Tor n long tlmo I havo thought that Providence pushed mo Into this nnd that trouble to linvo mo learn how to get out In order to toll others how to get out, hut now I nm beglnrlng to seo that Ho Jerks me out when I am ready to glvo up and sink. If Ho Is wlll.ng to Jerk mo out ho certnlnly must bo willing to do tho samo by you or any ono else provided thero Is a desire to llvo to do something some-thing worth doing. |
