e 1B I The Bees Home Ma The Folly of | Impatience | By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. “Patience! What wound did you ever heal but by degrees?’ is a wise summing up of a situation which Shakespeare viewed with the clear eye of sanity. Patience is probably the most comfort- able of all the virtues—and one of the least prevalent. Again and again you hear people exclaiming, I can stand any- thing but uncertaint; And one of the things we are most frequently called on to endure is just that—uncertainty. It life were a cut and dried matter in ‘which one could be sure of measured ‘out ingredients—so much sorrow; so much ¥i s0 mueh pain, so much comfort; so mu’dl darkness and so much light=one would not be called upon to exert any particular strength of character. But one would be bored—bored to extinction! Uneertainty lends a tremendous zest to living. The Jjoy of striving impels a #trong character to effort—the fear of the futility of striving keeps a weakling from action. Waiting for things will get on your nerves if you passively wait. But if while walting, you make every effort to bend circumstances to your will—if you fill your time with active effort, all tending toward a certain definite goal, waiting will not be a nervous strain filled with Jerky wonderings, timorous forebodings and painful imagining as to how things are coming out. Patience ls a very difficult thing to at- tain, But when once you have actually learned the secret of seif-control, and self-control is probably the most useful characteristic you ever can acquire. Whether we like it or not, most of us have to learn to wait. In nature all things evolve very slowly. Growth comes through a very slow and scarcely per- ceptible evolution In the life of the world. | In the life of the individual growth is not a thing that can be measured by the eye. Suppose your right arm becomes in- apacitated for work. You face the ab- olute ‘necessity of using the left one— but that does not mean tnat the desire to use It gives you at.once the ability to do go. . Slowly, with infinite effort, with the discouragement of numberless fail- ures, you train the unaccustomed mus- cles to answer the messages from the lobe of your brain, which is not used to sending messages. You are either patient enough to go on trylng to perfect your new activity or you do pot succeed. Of course you must succeed or you become a cripple with a useless right arm and an untrained left one. Recognizing patience as an actual necessity rather than merely an admir- ablé. virtue, you cultivate it. It is a case of néeds must. There is hardly a situation in life where the. practice .of patience does not stand as . 8°requirement ra shrough a gamut' from advisabllity (o' necessity. Oncegnke up your mind that evetything in the world will be easier for you if.yoy ! g0 at it with unflurried calm and contro! of merves, and you will find patience | making your whole existence serenely en- ! durable &nd the centrolled thing taken out of the realms of whim, chance and | impulse. . ¢ No, poet has failed to extol the beauty'| of patience; no philosopher has neglected | to ‘emphasize the necessity of it. No! human being so blind as not to see how patience will' lessen the jar and friction of -life. ‘ | Patient or not, we have to walt for all we ywant in life. And with the control of p-tience walting—life itself—were easier @ sweeter. Then why not learn patience | as earnestly as you go about mastering | all knowledge you know to be necessary to your personal success? | | “Every time mother gets out Calu- met | know there’s going to be good hings to eat at our house.
