of grown-up life with a zest and interest, not alone because we realize that we are learning valuable lessons, but, yea, even from the very excitement and joy of the game itself.

When we realize just what this view of Life means, we will find new pleasures in everyday life --- will learn to laugh with childish glee at our little successes in molding the clay into the desired shape --- in the clever weaving of the mat. And we will learn to smile, through our tears, if our little mat happens to tear in two --- if our little clay sphere drops to the floor and is shattered --- if the hour's work is destroyed.

And we will learn our little lesson of Love --- of Comradeship. We will learn by experience that if we lead the narrow, selfish life we will miss the joy that falls to the lot of those who have learned to express more fully the love-nature within them --- we will find -that Love begets Love --- that the love-nature, expressed, attracts to itself the love in the hearts of our little playmates. We will find that the child who carries within him the love for others, and expresses that love, need never want for friends or companions, need never suffer from loneliness, need never fear being left out in the cold. The true Personal Magnetism of the child (and the grown-up) consists largely of --- Love, which never fails in its drawing power. And we will learn, from bitter experience, the folly of the idea of separateness from our little playmates --will know that the standing apart brings nothing but sorrow to us. We will realize that selfishness brings nothing but pain --- that giving has its pleasures as well as receiving. And we will learn something of Brotherhood, and its goodness --- we will have the True Democracy of the kindergarten impressed upon us. These lessons (and others) we will learn well, before passing on.

We, like the child, often wonder what is the use of it all --- fret over our enforced tasks --- chafe at the confinement --- rage at the restrictions, and, failing to comprehend it all, indulge in complaints, protests, rebellion. And, like the child, we cannot expect to understand the whyness of it all, certainly not until we pass beyond the kindergarten stage of existence and reach the higher grades.

When one begins to realize what he is --- begins to be conscious of the I AM --- begins to know things as they are --- he gradually learns to appreciate things at their true worth, and, although not released from the necessity of playing out his kindergarten game tasks, is able to, practically, stand aside and watch himself play them out. He knows that he is gaining knowledge --- is mastering his lessons --- is living-out, and out-living, his desires --- is acquiring and storing up new experiences --- but he values things only at their final worth, and is not deceived by the apparent value of the moment. He begins to see things in their proper relations. He does not take himself (or things) too seriously. He enjoys the pleasure of the game --- but he knows it to be but the play and pleasure
