Balanced Rations

By R. A. Long

Most of us have heard the term "balanced rations" and associate it with poultry and stock raising, and also have heard it applied to the foods we eat. Again, most of us know the importance of balanced rations to the subjects just mentioned.

But, how many of us apply the principle of "balanced rations" to our mental and spiritual development or to the work we do each day? It is just as important in these things as it is in farming or in our eating.

Every structure we create, whether it be mental or physical, has its origin in thougftt and is directed by thought. First there is the basic thought and to it we add others until the finished structure is conceived; then we put it into efrect according to the plan we created first in our miqds.

mental and physical-and later I have seen them crumble into dust, all because the basic thought and very likely some of those that were added to it were unsound, urbalanced. To develop a sound Construction, every part must be sound and in balance, as well as the basic plan behind it. This holds true in religion, business and in every walk of life.

Another thing I want to emphasize is that you cannot cxceed the limits of any of the parts. In other words, the limit of your plan or construction is determined by the strength, truth, efrectiveness and whatnot of the weakest part. Perhaps I can make this clearer by quoting the following:

"If a watchmaker has 1,000 sets of works on hand, 1,500 dials and 2,000 cases, he can turn out only 1,00O complete watches.
