Cross, Torch, or Living!
Each of us has a burden to carry. Each of us has a
load that seems too great for our strength. With one it
may be a burden of grief, with another poverty, with another ill-health — or heavy responsibilities, heartacues,
misunderstanding, stifled talents, expected opportunities
that never materialize.
•What we make -of these burdens, depends upon ourselves
alone. They are our load of wood, which we alone can
carry.
To some their burdens are a cross under which the body
is bowed. The valient may strive to carry the cross, but
each step becomes more difficult as the load weighs down
the spirit and tires the heart. A few glory in martyrdom—
but being a martyr is a lonely life.
To otners their burdens are a torch. Out of the dead
wood of their lives they make.a flaming beacon to light t..
way ahead for those who follow. They use their sorrow_
bravely as they face them boldly. The light they giv_
forth is the high flame of courage, brightening the paths
of those around them.
Still others make of their burdens a living tree. They
assume the thankless task iof planting their griefs that ou
of them may grow a living thing — a tree which will giv^
shade and comfort to the weary traveler, a place of beauty
in the world, where the song of nesting bird's may brm&
solace to the ear as the leafy branches give rest to thv
heart. They tend their sorrows, not to remember them —
but because their griefs have made them warm-hearted
ready to give to others even that which they may nev^
possess for themselves.
To bear a sorrow bravely is a noble thing. But, I
think, to-bear a burden graciously is the better part. Onc-
I knew a woman who was living a life of what seemed utter
drudgery, added to by the ingratitude and querulousness iof
"the ipne ■whose burden she was trying to lift. When some-
ojfe Jcoftimiserated with her on her lot and commented on
tier cheerful, considerate attitude in the face of provocation- ishe^gaid: "Well, if I jam /going, to. be .a. m^r^yr'; t-he
"least.XJcaai ido.'.is to be a 'gcacipus' one. " Therer is-i-o .sense
in both of us being uncomfortable."
I've remembered that, and in my own dark hours have
tried to follow her teachings. She planted a living tree
whose seed has been sown far and wide.
We can make of our burdens a cross, -or a torch, or a
living tree.   Which do you do?
Double Valued Gift
Some people contribute to a charitable cause simply because it gives them pleasure to help those less fortunate.
Other peopie contribute because, in a way, their contribution is a form of insurance for themselves and their
loved ones.
A contribution to the Mental Health Campaign will a-
chieve both these purposes.
It will help to assure quicker and better treatment for
mental hospital patients.
It will help to assure more research into the cause, cure
and prevention of mental illness.
It will help to assure niuie community services for the
detection and early treatment of mental illness and for the
rehabilitation of mental patients on their return from the
hospital.
It will help to provide important education and information services on mental health and mental illness.
When you are called upon to make a contribution to
the Mental -Health Campaign, it -will be good to know as
your contribution helps others, it also helps you. Any gain
which is made in the care and treatment of the mentally ill,
is a gain that will stand any of us in good stead should
mental illness ever strike close to home. Any new discoveries made by the research scientists on the treatment and
prevention of mental illness are discoveries that will be oi
benefit to all of us, directly or indirectly.
A Good Highway Bill
There are two excellent reasons for being gratified
with congressional action approving a bill to pour ai
additional $1,800,000,000 into the highway building program this year. One is that, although the effect will no.
be immediate, this sum ought to help stimulate our sag
ging economy.
The other is that Congress retained a provision givinr'
states a bit more highway money if they agree to regulate billboards. Though this provision is not entirely
satisfactory to those who have fought for some form oi
billboard regulation; it is much better than ,no control sf
all. Most states probably will take advantage of this bonus.
In consequence, the highway network will be safer ant.
more attractive than it might otherwise have been.
Thought For Spring
Spring fosters mostly pleasant thoughts. The passin:
of the vernal equinox sets us all to 'dreaming of new
growth, and happy summer times. One unpleasant though
needs to be metioned. Dr. LeRoy^Burney, the United State
surgeon general, brought it up when he noted that thou
sands of Americans-may suffer in a ("serious outbreak"),
of poliomyelitis this*summer if Salk vaccinations are "not
speeded up.
Dr. Burney said that some 48,500,000 America-is undei
40, including 19 million under 20, have not yet received
the vaccine. This is jiot because vaccine has not beer,
available; it is- i*eakly- in great quantity. Whatever -the*
•reasons, the fact remains. If you or your children have
:fe6t *6ceived this protection against -dread jpolio, prompt
action may still forestall a summer tragedy.
