The Clinton News Record, 1941-04-24, Page 7'THURS., APRIL 24, 1941 Help One Another I remember one night when T was a very young lad, trying to figure out a problem. in arithmetic "said ,a now noted mathematician" "I would work out to every answer but the right one" "Becoming discouraged I .said "I can't do it". A gentleman, who was visiting in our home,' laid down his paper, came and sat down beside me with the remark. "Young man there is no such word as can't in the English language.I What seems to be the trouble? In a kindly manner he helped me with that pro- blem; said some encouraging Words to me about the way I had put down my work and then went back to his reading. We all know there le no such word as can't in the English language. More than ever• this has been impres- sed on us in the past months. There are times when .pes'semists think it will have to be added to the ddiction- ary. but we feel confident that al= though there may be many.discour- aeinig days that no such word will evcm need be added to our beautiful language. We can look back over, our lives to times. when sickness or trouble of some kind have caused us to be dis- couraged, when we have felt that there was. no use in trying to battle along any longer, and some one has come along, has g encouragement, which was just What we needed. In many cases that word or even a hand clasp has changed the whole course of our lives. The story is told of how when Nath- aniel Hawthorne lost his government position he went home dic'ouraged al- most to the ,point of dispair•. His wife learning what the trouble was, in- stead of upbraiding him, put pen and ink an the table in front of him, lit the fire in : the' grate, and putting her arm around hiss shoulder said. "Now, you will be able to write your book". This he did and through the encouragement of hiewife, we have those wonderful books, "The Scarlett Letter," "Tanglewood Tales," etc. It does not take any more words to encourage 'a person than it does to diseourage them and yet how often we are guilty. of the latter. The for- mercan be done in many 'simple ways, a smile costs us nothing, not even the effort of a frown, and telt how it cheers us on; a note of app ' iatin does much to make things eas- ier (manly times. with thanks to my readers I have 'experienoed this in connection with these articles) even the hast that cheers one ons to shows are'happy things, In sill dealings with people we should be .sincere. Do notadvise people in things about which we know nothing. We can direct them to some one who does know. We have daily gained strength be- cause' some one believed in us and thinking we could do better told us about - it. iven us a word of THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD Bev.

Miss Louise Holmes left' this morn- ing for Philadelphia, where she will happy manner that we belong to God. We cannot very well pass en- couragement on to others when we show by our 'manner that we haee no source of happiness ourselves. Will we never wake up, to the fact that we are :°heists Messengers? .In a recent Sunday Scheel lesson we had th beautiful story of the walk to Emmaus, Cleophas and his unamed' companion had left the other -discip- les' ill despair, and when they found Jesus esus had walked! with them and had broken bread and blessed it in their midst they hurried back the seven miles, through dangero s roads. to bring the word to the other disciples in the Upper Room that Jesus Christ had risen. After all ready having walked the distance would we have retraced our steps to bring a word of encouragement? - To encourage some one to better things may be 'called an opportunity and if we would just consider it so how muchmore we would be on the lookout to help. We all know that op- porbunity can step very. quickly. The Clinton News -Record with which is Incorporated G. E. HALL - - Proprietor • 11. T.

APRIL 20TH. 1916 Mr. Wesley Walker will again em- bark in the funiture business, this. time in Goderich: Mr. Walker is happiest when most active and is • a - Sometimes we get the idea that be- cause some one is, so to speak not in our "social standing" that we do not want to have anything to do with them. Was that the attitude of Christ? In days gone by One was judged by their family. If some rel- ative had done wrong the rest of the family was shunned. We are thank- ful that in the majority of cases those days are past and gone and each one in a family is judged by herself or himself. Before we eon- demn anyone who has fallen in sin we should ask ourselves the question "Had I been placed in exactly the same circumstances would I have done any better? In many such eases our encouragement is badly needed. • As we try to help others along the way of life we at some thne help our- selves, for as we give of ourselves the. more Christ will give to us. Let us start out each day with the prayer to God to help us find some one who needs a little up lift in life and may we ask Him to let us be the one to give it. If you sit down at the set of sun And count the acts that you have done, • And. counting find, One self denying deed, one word That eased the heart of hint who heard; One glance most hind, That fell like sunshine where it•went- Then you may count that day well spent. But if, through all the livelong day, You've cheered no heart, by yea or nay— If, through it all. You've nothing done that you can trace That brought the sunshine to one face— To act most small That helped some soul and nothing cost -- Then count that day as worse than There are many people who came to our door during the day. It may be someone delivering parcels or some one who has had hardships and who is 'endeavoring to make a living. It is trying to be thus summoned but why be unkind to .the one who is. there. He or she has not likely been there before and in all probability will not be back again. A kind! word may go a long way to help such a one, even if we cannot buy their wares. Christ would not speak to anyone the way we sometimes do. "Do unto othrs, as you would have others do unto you." We all err in ways we should not and often we feel like scolding when people who have done wrong come to us with their trouble. What is the use? The thing has been done and cannot be undone. Make the best of it. The right word at the right time may be the means of leading that friend along the straight and narrow way. A. lady advertising for a travelling companion ended her request as fol- lows "Christian wanted; cheerful if possible."
