“Fresh from the Gardens”
In Times Like These

Tn the course of the more or less extensive reading in which every man
im newspaper work must engage, our attention was attracted by a ma,
Brticle bearing the title “In Times Like These,” written by former U.S
President Calvin Coolidge. Coming from the pen of such a noteworthy man
We felt assured that it would be a worthwhile article. We were not disap-
pointed, and have decided to pass on to the, circle of readers of this weekly
column some of the thoughts expressed by the only living ex-President of
the United States, in the hope and expectation that they may be found help-
Tul and provide encouragement to others.

Mr, Coolidge expresses the opinion that one of the serious r suits that
come from the experience through which the world has been passing for the
past two years is “loss of faith,” and he proceeds to show that if a man but
Keeps his faith, regardless of anything and everything that may happen, |
there is still a bright future before him. |

The difficulty is that because some have put their trust in things which
they haye found do not always endure, they draw the hasty and unwarranted
conclusion that it is useless to have faith in anything. Furthermore, there
is a tendency, and it is easy, to conclude that whatever disasters may hav:
overtaken an individual for him to conclude that they have arisen through
no fault of his own; rather that it is the fault of someone, and he is inclined
to blame something he loosely calls society.

It is true that some have lost through the dishonesty of others. Many
more have lost because they were tempted to take large risks in the hope of
making large gains. Some did make large profits, but many more suffered
heavy losses. Frankly, it must be said that those who trust to chance must

to be found in Mr. Coolidge’s third group, those who have sustained losses
notwithstanding the exercise of their best judgment and through causes be- |
yond their own individual control. But this simply means what everyone
should know: that even when surrounded by all the safeguards and all the
integrity which is possible to secure, the ownership of property involves a
tisk. The man who has nothing runs no risk; it is the man who has property |
who is liable to suffer. Nevertheless no sane person prefers to be the former}
rather than the latter. |

The man who owns a house may lose it by fire, by flood, by a devastat- |
ing storm. A man’s livestock may sicken and die. A man may lose his|
crops by drouth, or hail, or insect pests. World conditions may force prices |
to a below-cost-of-production basis. He cannot help these things, but that |
does not excuse him from making the most of what he has, The great fact
of life is uncertainty, as Mr. Coolidge points out. The only thing we can
do is to recognize the uncertainty and govern ourselves accordingly. |

It might be a great personal comfort if we could lay all the blame for
‘our misfortune upon some source outside ourselves. That is why it is easy
to convince some of us that we have not failed, but society has failed. But
while there is a relationship of all of us, which we term society, that differs
from each of us, just as a house differs from the individual bricks in it, yet
people are not bricks, and moral responsibility cannot be shifted to others,
If we are to be free to make our own choices in life, we must take the risk |
of being responsible for the results. |

If we could lay the blame for present conditions in the world on society |
at large, against whom is the blame to be assessed? It is impossible to point |
out any general moral lapse, any widespread dishonesty. We may say it is|
the result of greed and selfishness. But what body is to be specifically |
charged with that? Were the wage earners too greedy in getting all they |
could for their work? Were the managerS of enterprise, big and little, too
“greedy in trying to operate at a profit? Were the farmers too greedy in their
production or in co-operating to get higher prices for their products. |

No, the most we can say is that there has been a general lack of judg- |
ment so widespread as to involve practically the whole world. Each and!
every one of us must assume our full share of responsibility for that lack. |
We have found out that we were not so big as we thought we were. We
were riding too high. We shall have to keep nearer the ground. We may not!
feel so elated but we shall be much safer. |

We must realize that the best recipe for financial security is to live |
within our means. That is our ancient faith, We have found nothing |
better. |

We must re-learn the old Biblical admonition: “Thine own right hand}
can save thee” We must realize that Governments are not all-powerful, |
that present relief measures are but a crutch to help us for a moment when!
we cannot otherwise help ourselves, but that our salvation, our whole future, |
rests with us as individuals.

There is no power that can us security. |
We think we want relief from toil and worry, forgetful that our real satis-|
factions are in our achievements. If we will but make the effort to develop |
them, if we will apply ourselves faithfully to-our tasks, we shall all find we
have powers we did not know we possessed.
