AT THE END OF THE WEEK
AT THE end of tho week, when anothor soven days have gone by Into
tho past, nover to return, thero ought to come Into tho life of every
man and woman a llttlo period of quiet for rest and calm reflec
tion. Tho days Just gono havo boon so hurried, so filled with activities of
all kinds, thnt it wns not easy to get tho full moaning of ovents as they
went racing by. It was not altogether apparent why othor men did
xvliat they did; It wns not clear what prompted our own conduct, wo acted
on Impulso bo often. Perhaps wo did not understand tho motives of
other men's deeds. Porhnps wo did not fully sco how Belflsh wo our
selves woro, or how generous, how small or how largo. Perhaps wo
Old not amid many distractions appreciate that this was wrong nnd that
right, or that this deed added Just a llttlo moro to tho world's unhnp
lilnres, while tho other might havo Increased Its Joys n llttlo.
'n an hour of calm and quiet the week's Hfo may bo scon as It really

or decoy; thon It may bo Judged which things arc worth whllo and
what nro vain; then It may bo determined whore the mistakes havo boon
oiid whoro tho right; then it may bo ou'tlmated how much has boon true
mil how much false With such reflection there will como a clear light
upyn tho n.is, but, bottor still, also upontho nnv veok ahead, and an
1inor volco of counsel nnd direction.
