and an assurance that private member’s hills re this situation are under consideration. In her provincial report, Mrs. Small stated there was increased interest in the study and construction of resolutions. Knowledge ‘of members was increased by their consideration of resolutions on such subjects as Estate and Gift taxes, glue sniffing. water pollution. coun- ty school boards, rising taxes. child cruelty. regional laws and new provincial laws, stand- ards in clothing, etc. The provincial convener reminded Women’s Institute members that in the matter of resolu- tions, as in any phase of Women‘s Institute work, it is the member who has the opportuni- ty to introduce a resolution worthy of consid- eration and in so doing she starts the wheels of achievement turning. This must improve our own little corner Of the world and also have worldwide implications. YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND TOMORROW There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension. v One of these days is yesterday with its cares and mistakes, . Its faults and blunders, its pains and heartaches, Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday. We cannot redo a single act we performed, we cannot erase a single word we said, Yesterday is gone. The other day we should not worry about is To-morrow, With its large promise and its poor performance Its possible adversities and its burdens. Toâ€"mnrrow is beyond our earthly control, To-morrow's sun will rise either in splendor Or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow for it is yet unborn. This leaves only one day, To-day. Anybody can fight a battle for just one day, It is only when you and I add the burdens of those frightful eternities, Yesterday and To-morrow that we break down and falter. , It is not the experiences of To-day which drive men mad; [I is the bitterness of remorse for something which happened Yesterday and the dreaded thought of what To- morrow may bring, Let us therefore, live but one day at a time.
