Now, then, get busy with the glorious opportunity today presents. Don't make the same mistake again. There are no eyes in the back of your head; look forward. Don't worry by envying the other fellow and comparing his good deeds with your mistakes; you only see his good. He has had troubles and made mistakes too, but you and the world have forgotten them. If every man's sins were printed on their foreheads the crowds you pass would all wear their hats over their eyes. I'm trying to comfort you, and slap you on the back and tell you you are just human and all humans make false steps. The patriarchs in the Bible made mistakes, but they got in the fold. History has perpetuated their names. Their lives on the whole were worth while. It's the sum total of acts that count. TOMORROW A Little Analysis of Our Relation to Eternity One man says the present is everything, the eternity is nothing. The other man says eternity is everything, present is nothing. I believe the real truth is, both are man's chief concern, and neither is all truth. In this matter the general rule I have so often pointed out will harmoniously apply; that rule is, avoid extremes. Those who believe that the now, the present, is the all important thing in man's life have the fashionable or favorite point of view. Man definitely knows much about the present, he knows much about life. He is in the midst of life--it pulsates all around him and in him. We know positively that the law of compensation is inexorable in its demands for right and positive in its punishment of wrong. We know that on this earth kindness, love, occupation, help, truth, honor and sympathy are investments which bring happiness today. You get your pay instantly when you have done a helpful act and you get your punishment instantly when you have done a hurtful act. That there is a future most of us agree, because good sense and logic points to that sane and reasonable conclusion. So be it, with a belief in the future estate, it is reasonable to assume that our acts and lives in the present estate will have influence on our future estate. We know positively of today, and the happiness we can get from good deeds done today. If we will have power in the future to look back to today's acts, well and good, if today's acts are worth while. The other view that eternity is everything and the present is nothing is the antiquated view, the narrow view; the, I might say, illiterate view. That view warps the present life; it calls for present self-chastisement, present gloom, present sorrow and present misery. It takes the tangible definite today, calls it nothing, and accepts the intangible unknown eternity as everything.
