Rest In Motion

"If I am harríed or wearied by care or work," said a man who works with his brains, "I can aHvays find rest in motion. I jnst stop work and get out and walk. As I walk the weight is lifted, and finully it is gone altogether, and in place of thát tired feeling comes tranquillity succeeded by elation. It was a pleasing discovery to make, that I could walk out of depression into buoyancy. At firbt, when the exercise was new to me, I needed t,o go but a little distance toaccomplish this happy result; and so clearly defined was the change that I could lócate almost exactly the spot where my burdens disappeared and I found myself in the pleasant company of my hopeful, kindly friend, Cheerfulness. I still seek Cheerfulness by that road and I find him unfailinglj-, bnt I have to go furthcr and fnrther to meet him, for, like any other stimulant, the walk must be taken in constantly increasing doses in order to produce the same results. At first a brisk walk of a quarter of a mile broug-ht me to the boundary line; now I find it about a mile and a quarter away. It may be that I will have to seek Cheerfulness nearer home as a permanent atmosphere, for it is obvious that if I must go greatcr and greater distanccs to meet the personified Cheerfulness he mi;ht one day be practlcally beyond reaeli."
