The Evening
4"
Sitting in a Railway Car at the
fstation Some' of Us Have Often
jbeen startled by the train appearing to have
itarted ahead of schedule time.
Glancing at our watches and out the
window at the trains moving on the side
tracks, our eyes misled us and we thought for
a moment or two that it was our train moring
five or ten minutes ahead of time.
Almost everybody has had this
experience.
May we not-learn something useful from
the incidents and happenings of our daily
lives?
Some of us are at a standstill with our
'affairs and yet we are cheating ourselves in
believing that we are moving onward.
