And we shtin't from sacrifice. We would ward off the blow at unhappiness just as long As we can. We hute the fussons of anguish. We run from pain and hide our eyes from dis appointment,

But some day, some time, we must all learn control; we must gain the mastery. We may seek to postpone the day; we may eairaat heaven to spare, . We may question and implore.

Such expostulation is sheer waste of time. and of spiritual strength. The sooner we ga ther our forces, after the blow, the sooner we smile and go cheerfully on our way, the more quickly will peace come,

The longer we rebel, the farther do we push peace and future happiness from us. By cur wilful res stance we postpone the paise and the power we would gain.
