A man might be sick, dead or starv-
ing, without worrying anybody, but
the minute slight mistake is made
in q newspaper he finds himself on
anything but bed of roses. Ingrati-
tude is nothing,-thorns are easy.
The only spot free from worldly in
trusion man has in the wide world,
his fireside,-is invaded by divin-
ity that doth hedge US around like a
nursery ground or prison stockade.
The bodily harm the good book teach
es US not to fear, but the spiritual aid
it promises through the Masters SER
wants, man often looks for in vain
and dies in his sins. All things come
right in time. The most sacred trusts
are but hon1a1l, and often far from
humane.
