I have much gess to live on than ,I had a year ago, butt it is tertain1y true that d have just as much as ever to live for, The real values of live are unshaken aud solid. The :depression has not lowered the value of a single friendship. 'Neigh !borsstil'1 greet us in the same old cor- dial ` evay, 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 skill continue to lavish their affection upon us with the same old extravagance. My faith in the goodness of the un- iverse is unimpaired. 'By that faith I amemboldened as 1 face defeat and .despair. The prayers my mother taught me and the 'faith in God in- stilled In me by a devout father re- main as priceless treasure's no depres s. si'on can touch. No nation becomes great by becom- ing rich. Neither does a man find .enduring satisfaction in life by own- ing something—only 'by becoming 501110 thing. The most degrading •pov-' .erty is that which results from killing 'the spirit that the body may be serv- ed. This depression is a challenge, not a catastrophe. A generation that has conquered the air and sent giant planes circling the globe, which has pillaged into the deeps and disported on the ocean's floor, which has climb- ed above the clouds and lived in the stratosphere, is now faced with the challenge.' to rise above its dependence on mere"things and seek an emancipa- tion of the spirit of man. The last six months have been For many men a thrilling spiritual adven- ture through which they have discov- ered their real wealth. Bereft of div- idends and profits, they are discover- ing the sustaining powers of a strong religious faith, the abiding values of courage, ,heroism, honor, charity, and trustworthiness. A financial crisis can wipe out pro- fits and bring business to a standstill,. but character is beyond its reach. It can rob us of all we have, but it can not affect what we are, . , . The deepest satisfactions of life— those which conte from sharing and serving—remail secure. I am still rich because I am inde- pendently rich—none of my wealth depends upon business conditions or market reports. --Roy L. Smith, in the 'Hub" (!Saskatoon, Sask.). HURON NEWS.
