WONDERFUL THINGS
We are brought up against the
tact, occasionally, that life is a
wonderful experience, that in spite
of hard luck and much loss, we
are continually getting breaks.
We are sick, fearful and full
of doubt. We round the crisis, ((fai-

anotlier chance to work, to believe,
to hope, and to forget the panicky

forget the pain of yesterday, little
perplexities of last night. Loving
hearts have shared our burden, j
