Strangely do son,e people talk Of
getting over a great sorrow; overleap-
ing it, passing it by, thrusting it into
oblivion. Not so. No one ever does
that--at least no nature which can be
touched by the feeling of grief at all.
The only way is to pass through the
ocean of affection solemnly, slowly, with
humility aud faith, as the Isrseltes
passed through the sea. Then its very
waves of misery will divide aud become
to us well on the right side and on the
left. until the gulf narrows before our
eyes, and we land safe on the opposite
shore.
