Editor Eagle:
Sunday morning as I gazed
upon the face of nature bo bril-
liantly illuminated by the sun’s
bright rays and noted the gentle
stillness of the day, my mind re-
verted to the preceding Sab-
bath when the wind swept with
mournful cadence through the
vault of nature, casting a gloom
o’er the out ward world. I invol-
untarily exolaimed within, “How
like unto human life! ” 1 was re-
turning from the bedside of a
dear friend critially ill and was
so sad that even the beautiful
sunlight failed to cheer me, I
realized that the changes in the
outward elements were not more
variable than those in our own
existence. No one is exempt from
suffering and distress. Wealth
nor love can ward of disease and
death, nor other troubles that
often come up in the pathway
of life, no more than it can quiet
the storm that rages without.
Affliotion will sooner or later visit
every home, the palaoe as well as
the hovel; it is no respector of
person.■ Then it behooves us to
be prepared for life’s yici-
situdes.
