DARK HOURS lnerc are uNk HpuiS
hat mark the history Of the brightest year
For not whole month in any of the mil
Mons of the past, perhaps, has tho sun
shone brilliantly all lh) time. And there
have been cold and stormy days in every
year. And yet the mist and shadows Of
the darkest hours, were dissipated, and fit
ted hcedlessly away The cruellest Of tho
ice fetters have been broken and dissolved,
and the furious storm loses its power TO
harm.
And what parable is this, all Of human
life, Of our inside world, where the heart
works at its destined labors. Here, too,
we have the shadowing Of dark hours,
and many cold blast chils the heart TO
its core. But what matters it? Man is
borne hero, and it is only by darkness and
storm that heroism gains its greatest and
best development, aRd illustraton--theE it
kindes tho black cloud into blaze of glory
and the storm bears it moro rapidly TO its
destiny. Despair not then. Never give
up; while one good power ID yours, use it.
Disappointment will be realized Mortfy-
ing failure may attend this effort and that
one-but, only be honest and struggle on,
and it will all work well.
