John Temple Graves II, editor of
The Jacksonville (Florida) Journal;
rays:
_______ That living wholesale, at wholesale
speed and in wholesale numbers, may
add quantity to life but it takes all
quality out of 1L The beauty of nature,
of friendship, of sport, of dreams, of
character is lost to those who live
by the clock and in the crowd. Much
hurrying and herding may bring suc-
cess but they destroy the fruits of suc-
cess. They make millionaires at forty
who cau think of nothing to do with
their millions ,but seek more millions.
They make worldly monarchs who
- shudder at the thought of leisure or
solitude. The time that is saved is
used only in saving more time. The
contacts that are made are used only
fa qiaking more contacts until all I
capacity for Individual living is d<-s
troyed.
There are times when every man
needs to leave his clock or his crowd
. and to consult his immortal soul.
When he needs to get out of his auto-
mobile and walk; leave his bridge
game and read books or listen to
music; to drop his golf clubs and
enjoy the green of the grass or the
patterns of the sky; to forget the glory
of getting things done and contem-
plate the glory of God; to forego the
pleasure of enjoying, things with
friends in favor of the pleasure of en-
joying friends for their own sakes,
for their personalities, their conver-
mtfouB, their thoughts; to stand on a
mountaintop or sit at a eeaside long
enough to lose all thought that he is
wasting time in doing It Times when
be needs to pluck from life the leisure
to fall In love with something or
grow worshipful of something.
