The first season that James had alone, when single handed he did the work of the farm, was a severe strain on one so young, but his readiness to plan or invent some way of meeting difficulties again stood him in good stead. He found that by exchanging work with a neighbour he could help both. So he bargained with a farmer to give him a hand when he had a little spare time, and the farmer in return agreed to lend James his oxen when he needed them. THE FIRST SEASON THAT JAMES HAD ALONE WHEN SINGLE HANDED HE DID THE WORK OF THE FARM WAS A SEVERE STRAIN ON ONE SO YOUNG BUT HIS READINESS TO PLAN OR INVENT SOME WAY OF MEETING DIFFICULTIES AGAIN STOOD HIM IN GOOD STEAD HE FOUND THAT BY EXCHANGING WORK WITH A NEIGHBOR HE COULD HELP BOTH SO HE BARGAINED WITH A FARMER TO GIVE HIM A HAND WHEN HE HAD A LITTLE SPARE TIME AND THE FARMER IN RETURN AGREED TO LEND JAMES HIS OXEN WHEN HE NEEDED THEM
ed himself for a better. He had hopes and ambitions about the future, but his whole time and energies were so occupied in doing his best, that he never for one moment felt the unrest which accompanies a discontented spirit. James did not know the meaning of the word "hardship" in the sense their neighbour used it. Did it mean hard work? Not to James, for he was able to do it. Did it mean hard fare? No, for he had enough to satisfy all his wants. In the companionship of his mother and sisters, with health and strength, food and raiment, where was the hardship? That was a question which James could not answer. He had not yet seen and coveted the pleasures, the luxuries, nor even the conveniences of the dwellers in towns. He had not felt the want of anything he did not possess or enjoy. Therefore, while he hoped to be such a man as his mother had often described, he was content to leave the future to take care of itself, and was only concerned in making the most of himself in the present. SITION UNTIL HE HAD QUALIFIED HIMSELF FOR A BETTER HE HAD HOPES AND AMBITIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE BUT HIS WHOLE TIME AND ENERGIES WERE SO OCCUPIED IN DOING HIS BEST THAT HE NEVER FOR ONE MOMENT FELT THE UNREST WHICH ACCOMPANIES A DISCONTENTED SPIRIT JAMES DID NOT KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD HARDSHIP IN THE SENSE THEIR NEIGHBOR USED IT DID IT MEAN HARD WORK NOT TO JAMES FOR HE WAS ABLE TO DO IT DID IT MEAN HARD FARE NO FOR HE HAD ENOUGH TO SATISFY ALL HIS WANTS IN THE COMPANIONSHIP OF HIS MOTHER AND SISTERS WITH HEALTH AND STRENGTH FOOD AND RAIMENT WHERE WAS THE HARDSHIP THAT WAS A QUESTION WHICH JAMES COULD NOT ANSWER HE HAD NOT YET SEEN AND COVETED THE PLEASURES THE LUXURIES NOR EVEN THE CONVENIENCES OF THE DWELLERS IN TOWNS HE HAD NOT FELT THE WANT OF ANYTHING HE DID NOT POSSESS OR ENJOY THEREFORE WHILE HE HOPED TO BE SUCH A MAN AS HIS MOTHER HAD OFTEN DESCRIBED HE WAS CONTENT TO LEAVE THE FUTURE TO TAKE CARE OF ITSELF AND WAS ONLY CONCERNED IN MAKING THE MOST OF HIMSELF IN THE PRESENT
