CHEER, OPTIMISM

REAL VALUES OF LIFE. UNSHAKEN AND SOLID. A spirit of cheery optimism in the time of trade depression is manifested by Mr. Roy L. Smith in an. article in the Hub, published at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. He says:— “We have passed through a. panic, suffered from a crash on the stock market, and are now more than half-way through the depression, and 1 am still rich. It may bo true that I have much less to live on than I had a year ago, but it is certainly true that I have just as much as ever to live for. The real values of life are unshaken and solid . . . . “The depression has not lowered the value of a single friendship. Neighbours still greet ue in the same old cordial way, business associates believe in us, and our

sons hold us in high respect. The wife’s welcome at the close of the day has not depreciated in the least, and our daughters continue to lavish their affection upon us with the same old extravagance. “My faith in the goodness of the universe is unimpaired. By that faith I am emboldened as 1 face defeat and despair. The prayers my mother taught me and the faith in God instilled in me by a devout father remain as priceless treasures no depression can touch. No nation becomes great by becoming rich. Neither does a man find enduring satisfaction in life by owning something—only by becoming something. The most degrading poverty is that which result© from killing the spirit that the body may be served.

“This depression is a challenge, not a catastrophe. A generation that has conquered the air and sent giant planes circling the globe, which has plunged into the deep© and disported on the ocean’s floor, which has climbed above the clouds and lived in the stratosphere, is now faced with the challenge to rise above its dependence on mere things and seek a." emancipation of the spirit of man. “The last six months have been for many men a thrilling spiritual adventur- through which they have discovered their real wealth. Bereft of dividends and profits, they are discovering the sustaining powers of a strong religious faith, the abiding values of courage, heroism, honour, charity, and trustworthiness.”
