F u g i t !Since the clays that are past are gone ¡or ever, and those

that are to come may not come to thee in thy present State of being, it behooveth thee, O man! to employ the present

State, without regretting the loss of that which is past , ortoo much depending on that which is to come; for of thy y-iext states thou canst not know except as thy actions now ordain them.

This instant is thine . . .

W ha tso ev er thou resolvest to do, do it quickly. Defe r not till the evening what the morning may accomplish.

—Unto Thee I Grant . . .

These words are meant to put us to shame for being so utterly procrastina ting in our daily obligations. Pro crastin ation no t only inhibits our own growth and development, but also contributes to the delinquency of our whole civilization. It is perhaps the biggest obstado

to getting things done.Thercfore this year of 1963 calis for a second look into that mirror

of life, to see how many things we could have done, and can do, if better use were made of our time.
