It was my privilege to know
the late Arthur Guiterman; not
intimately hut just enough to
make ,me enjoy his poetry all the
more. He once wrote a poem in
Which he compared life to a jour
ney; the closing stanza ran:
A noonday halt at crystal well,
A word and smile with a pass
ing friend,
A song to ping and a tale to tell,
And something coming around
tlie bend,
‘It is of the closing line of
these stanzas that J am thinking
just now, “Something coming
around the bend.” One of the
chief charms about life is the
element of the unexpected. How
terribly monotonous and drab
life would be if day after day
brought the same routine tasks
and there were po changes. There
are fortune-tellers who claim to
forecast the future. Fortunately
their pretensions are not- taken
seriously but if ’they could .pre
dict the future what a curse it
would be upon those who visited
them. All color and adventure
would go if there were none of
that unexpectedness which is the
spice of life. One could not well
imagine a greater calamity com
ing to any life than to know
where the road would lead and
What was to happen.
Nearly every day one reads in
the newspapers of old people who
have just celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary. Usually it
is a time for warm congratula
tions and of rich reminiscing. Of
one thing we may be sure? If, on
the day they were married fifty
years previously, these people
had kown of all the experiences
through which they were to pass,
the bereavements, sorrows, dif
ficulties, surely their strength
would have failed them; they
would have been overwhelmed
with such a prospect.
But the road opened up, just
a little stretch at a time and
there was novelty and charm in
not knowing too much of the
road ahead.
Life is uneven—we ought to
thank God. for that—no two days
are alike and at any moment
there may come a bend in the
road. The future cannot be
known but they who make no
provision for emergencies invite
disaster. There are only two class
es of people, says a modern writ
er, who give no thought to the
future: little children and bar
barians. The child takes no dis
tant Views and thinks only of
immediate gratifications, a piece
of cake or candy means more to
him than a future estate,
wise the barbarian thinks
of fighting and feasting,
looking into the future is a
of distinction between the savage
| and the civilized man.
I The wise man thinks of the
future, not that ,he wishes to
know all that will happen to
'him but rather that he may fort
ify his inner self, his spiritual
resources, so that no ' matter
what may come around the bend
of the road, he will meet sorrow
with fortitude and prosperity
with a thankful heart. He will not
wait until sorrow comes before
he seeks God; he will remember
that: ’’Every moment of ordin
ary existence goes to determine
what an individual will do in a
crisis,” What John Ruskin once
said of nations also applies to
individuals; "No nation ever
had, or will have, the power of
suddenly developing under the
pressure of necessity faculties it
had utterly .neglected when it
was at ease.”
The religious man will face
the future without fear and ap
prehension. He will know that
no evil thing can befall a good
man. Upon that sure foundation
his courage rests.
I hear it singing, singing sweetly,
Softly, in an undertone:
Singing as if God had taught it,
“It is better, farther, on.”
Night and ^day it sings the son
net,
