At present we are in a childish condition as a race, just about
able to walk and run around a little. We do not see our future
clearly, and many of us look back regretfully to the simple days
of industrial babyhood.
But those days can never be brought back, even if we wanted to
bring them back. The thing for us to do is to remember that
great progress and a great future are ahead of us, and do all we
can to prepare for the future and hurry it along. We should
refrain especially from feelings of pessimism. We should study
and work to control ourselves as well as we can, and look ahead
into the future.
Remember this very true saying and apply it in your attitude
toward the world:
"It is not enough to believe in God; one must believe in man, in
humanity and its future."
THE EYE THAT WEIGHS A TON
All our fussing and fuming about little matters must end in time.
It is a comfort to feel sure that the time will come when
questions of wages, starvation, justice, supply and demand,
finance, and all the miserable worries of to-day, from
Presidential elections to the digging of sewers, will be things
of the past.
Had we been intended for such things exclusively, we might as
well have been put in a hole in the ground or in some cool corner
of Hades to fight out our troubles.
