How The Gradual Wins Out
Every now and then someone gets an idea that strikes like a blow. The other day I was reading about the Fabian Society in England. They started some thirty years ago just to advance some certain ideas, to keep up propaganda .long certain lines. They never let up. This society is runing the English Government. Thby supply the ideas of t\ Labor Party.
man by the name of Webb, who is now Lord Somebody-or-Other, was one of the charter members. From one of his articles I took this expression, "The inevitability of the gradual". Isn't that striking? It is not wars, earthquakes, or fires that very much influence the world. The world is influenced by the inevitability of the gradual. The thoughts that come one at a time, little thoughts, little ideas. These things come into our minds gradually, but after a while they make up our minds, and when enough minds are made up with the same idea, there is a tremendous power. Just stop and think out the idea of the gradual being inevitable.
Have you seen men who made a great noise? They pounded the desk. They talked loud. They swore. But they did not get anywhere. While some other man who was quiet, who did not seem to assert himself, in the course of time gradually became inevitable. This is so true that all of us have rather a suspicion o{ anything that comes upon us too quickly. We have a feeling that it takes time to bring about stabilized institutions.-Sanders Norvel in Hardware - t' ,, T'_i I "e .:, Age. 'i e i..:. :

A Talk To The
Come, boy, to your d,ad. Let me tell yoir
Of the man who loved me as I'm loving For the heart is a pendulum, heavy, that swings, Aye, forward and back, as all pendulums do. And tonight, mine has swung far away to the time
When your dad had a dad-just as you have-my son; A dad to whose arms I was welcorne to climb
When his day in the cornfield or meadow was done. I crept into his arms that were stronger, my lad; And his hands-O so tender-were harder than mine. For the world had been harsh with the dad of your dad, Yet I wish that my soul were as gentle and fine As the one roughly clad in that body of his That so lavishly gave of its strength for the one Who now shelters you. And.my prayer's burden is Thgt you may think thus of your father, my so-n. What I've gained, I have gained; his the heavier cost. He, in embryo, held,all the things I have done. Yet I fear-gravely fear-there are things I have lost That sadly diminish the triumph, my son. So lie close, little man; there's so little we know Except that I love you, and you can love me. And I smile with content that you're loving me so, And am glad in that love, as my dad used to be.
