It aeema to me it is best to not
be cast down by sorrows that come
our way. But dwell mote on the
bleaaings received. And it is nice
to be faitthful to those we love
who have enriched our lives with
so many unselfish deeds. For only
the selfish and useless are en-
tirely free or fancy themselves to
be. He who ia worth anything this
would is bound to others, by many
