A NEED OF HUMAN NATURE. “The craving for occasional selfwithdrawal corresponds to a fundamental need of human nature. Every man at the core of his being is. a little world apart, separated from all about him by the unfathomable gulf of personality. From time to time he feels an urgent necessity to betake himself to his centrol sanctuary, ‘watch-tower and treasure-fortress of the soul.’ For one the opportunity may come as he walks alone to ana from his work . Another can find it best in the seclusion of his own room, or in a few minutes on his knees m a quiet church. Some, driven
by the lack of other opportunity, have schooled themselves to pay a lightning visit to the secret chamber of the heart between two business talks or two spells of work. Such is the miracle of the human mind and soul that even in the mid-tur-moil of the day a few seconds of self - abstraction, unremarked by those around, may bring renewal and refreshment adequate for long succeeding hours.”—The Times (London).
