A THOUGHT FOR
TODAY
Friendship is to be
purchased only by
friendship. A man may
have authority over
others; but he can never
have their heart but by
giving his own.
—Bishop Wilson.

What Is
| Worthwhile?
Fr»m the
Writings of
Dr. Frank
Crane
The difference probably be-
tween the man of good judg-
ment and the scatter-brain is
that the former emphasises
the important things and lets
alone the unimportant, while
the latter is equally in earnest
about them all
A man has reached a great
point in his career when be can
see that a lot of things make
no difference to him.
He has a certain end in’ view
and only appreciates the
things that bear on that end.
Other matters make no differ-
ence.
The line that divides the
successful man from the un-
successful is usually the fact
that the successful man never
loses sight of the goal he has in
view, while the unsuccessful
man runs about hither and
thither like an ant. He has ac-
tivity, but it is largely waste
motion.
Every once in a while you
hear on the street the expres-
sion, "What’s the big idea?"
The big idea seems to stand
for the main and informing
purpose for which anything is
done or said.
The big idea is like the per-
fect design of the building in
the mind and the trestle board
of the architect. He gives to
every man his work and puts
every piece of material in its
place. It all coordinates ac-
cording to the big idea.
A business will go to smash
unless in it there is a big idea,
some mind that can correlate
and unify all of its various ac-
tivities.
I have read some novels that
seemed to be a mere frittering
away of my time, for there
was no dominant thought
about which tney were writ-
ten.
Religious belief in a way
simply means that a man has
some big idea about his life,
and all of his words and deeds
must conform to this plan.
Music is not merely a pleas-
ant succession of sounds. It
must have unity and form and
individuality. There must be a
big idea behind it.
The idea is bigger than the
man that has it. A man be-
comes great only tyhen he al-
lows himself to be absorbed in
the idea.
Many people suffer because
their energies are frittered
away. They have no cohesive
plan, and everything they do is
hit or miss. They never amount
to anything, because there is
no big idea behind them.
Even in the matter of physi-
cal culture there must be a
plan and system. It cannot be
fortuitous.
Search yourself carefully to
find your dominating desire
and see that it is such as can
merit your giving up all your
life to it.
Then you will come to suc-
cess on board a big idea when
you never would have attained
it otherwise.

In a social order as complex
and busy as ours has become,
there are bound to occur prob-
lems and situations which bear
handling by those of us who
have more material things,
more heritage and more under-
standing.
There are today hundreds,
perhaps thousands of indivi-
duals, many of them youths,
who are drifting around the
country-homeiess, jobless and
friendless. Circumstances cf
one kind or another have driv-
en these unfortunates into the
folds of the country’s skirts,
and for some these folds have
been anything but comforting.
Wanting more than anything
to find a place where they “be-
long,” the very nature of their
vagrant mode of life leads
them into trouble. Through cir-
cumstances often beyond their
control, they are stamped—
criminals.
By the light of such a situ-
ation, it must be said that the
thousands of boys wandering
over the face of the country to-
day, looking for their little
spot in the sun, are “criminals”
too. We cannot let them be-
lieve that—we cannot brand
them criminals and kill them
all off ... a criminal’s grave
must not be their destiny . . .
it must not be their share of
this earth we call America.
A recent motion picture en-
titled ‘ Dust Be My Destiny”
touches this problem acutely.
It is an interesting treatment,
finely enacted, of another
phase in the American scene.
