Bend With the Word
“Grandma Fontaine,” one of
the tart characters in Marga-
ret Mitchell’s “Gone With the
Wind.” gave forth a bit of
wisdom which is worth singl-
ing out for reflection right
now when some people are
finding it hard to sustain their
courage.
This is what she said: “We
bow to the inevitable. We’re
not wheat, we’re buckwheat!
When a storm comes along it
flattens ripe wheat because it’s
dry and can’t bend with the
wind. But ripe buckwheat’s
got sap in it and it bends. And
when the wind has passed, it
springe up almost as straight
and strong as before.”
Bend with the wind—don’t
let life break your spirit. Af-
ter your trials and disappoint-
ments and discouragements
spring back again like buck-
wheat! Don’t let the things
that can’t be helped flatten
you. Bide your time. Have
patience. And after the storm
straighten up and go forward.
—The Silver Lining.

Care in Teaching
Never teach a child anything
of which you are not yourself
sure; and above all, if you feei
anxious to force anything into
its mind in tender years, that
the virtue of youth and early
association may fasten it there,
be sure it is no lie which you
thus sanctify.—Ruskin.

“Gone with the Wind"—but whee’d the wind go?
It just keeps on blowing—where to—we don’t
know—
It makes no material difference—so why worry
about that?
You may as well say—why the tail on a cat?
Worry about things that are worthy of thought—
Godliness—health cleanliness—others are naught—
But when it comes to the food, that keeps the health
fine—
Let that be my worry—just phone Number Nine.
