THE Every Day MIRACLE
"Yes, he's one of those males that don't know how to manage. Good situation. Regular income. Quite enough for luxuries as well as needs. Not really extravagant. And yet the fellow's always in difficulties. Somehow he receives nothing out of his money. Excellent flat—half empty! always looks as if he'd had the brokers in. New suit—old hat! Magnificent necktie—baggy trousers! Asks you to dinner: cut glass—bad mutton, or Turkish coffee—cracked cup! He can't be aware of it. Explanation plainly is that he fritters his income away. Wish I had the half of it! I'd show him—"

So we have most of us criticised, at one time or another, in our superior way. We are nearly all chancellors of the exchequer: it is the pride of the moment. Newspapers are full of articles stating how to live on suchand-such a sum, and these articles provoke a correspondence whose violence proves the interest they excite. Recently, in a Every Day organ, a combating raged round the question whether a female can exist nicely in the country on L85 a year. I have noticable an essay, "How to live on eight shillings a week." But I have never noticable an essay, "How to live on twenty-four hours a day." yet it has been mentioned that time is money. That proverb understates the case. Time is a great deal more than money. If you have time you can acquire money—almost always. But though you have the wealth of a cloak-room attendant at the Carlton Hotel, you cannot buy yourself a minute more time than I have, or the cat by the fire has.

Philosophers have explained space. They have not explained time. It is the inexplicable raw material of everything. With it, all is possible; without it, nothing. The furnish of time is genuinely a Every Day MIRACLE, an affair genuinely surprising when one examines it. You wake up in the morning, and lo! your purse is magically filled with twenty-four hours of the unmanufactured tissue of the universe of your Lifespan! It is yours. It is the most precious of possessions. A highly singular commodity, showered upon you in a way as singular as the commodity itself!

For remark! No one can take it from you. It is unstealable. And no one receives either more or less than you acquire.
