Vacation Periods.
VACATION PERIODS .
THAT a holiday is needed now and then by all who devote themselves heartily to any business or professional calling , will not be denied . All workers , if they hope to continue their toil , must occasionally intermit their labours ; they must make pauses in life 5 they must
break up by changes of scene and place the monotonous ways of customary existence . A vacation for the worn body and the weary brain is not merely a luxury , it is a necessity . Not all require the same kind of a vacation . In some cases , perhaps , short respites from ordinary work
are best , and these may be taken frequently , as circumstances open the way . With others , however , there must be a complete change , aud longer periods of cessation from routine engagements . So it is the overworked powers are recruited , and new resources are gathered with which to
enter again fche paths of accustomed activity . We believe in vacations ; and we trust that our friends and the readers of fche Repository generally may be privileged to break their wonted toil , and profit by occasional seasons of rest and refreshment . We are
writing these lines several hundred miles distant from home , and under conditions entirely different from those that make np the usual order in our preparation of copy for the Repository . Onr vacation is nofc altogether a period of rest , for on many days we must hold the pen in hand
and attempt some work ; nevertheless the change of place and surroundings , and the diversion of activity which we are able to have , bring us a blessing . So it is we hope to find this vacation period , like others that have gone before
it m our experience , fruitful in ministries of good . By the seaside and on the mountains—going over the olcl ways in familiar localities , or seeking out new regions of attraction—we hope to gather rest and refreshment , with
some new zest of life , from the brief holiday with which we are favoured . May those who read these lines—onr brethren privileged to enjoy some time in cessation from accustomed labours , and perchance in " Green fields and
pastures new , " be profited in like manner . Let us not think that we are really losing anything by taking these pauses in life—by doing individually what Masonic Lodges for the most part do at this season of the year , viz . calling oft from labour to refreshment . If we have earned the
right to a vacation we need not fear to take it , and we ought to enjoy ifc and profit by its gifts . It is often said that the hardest worker lives the longest , but only those hve long who sufficiently break their wonted toil by the Acceptance of occasional well-timed and well-spent holidays .
