Do you ever have a blue days
day when everything goes wrong
from early morn until late at night
Of course you do. II comes into
every life, a prominent breathing
factor q shadow that but makes the
sunshine doubly bright, though it
may not appear in that light forthe
unhappy individual struggling with
the cerulean horrors.
When you arc away down in the
depths, when you feel yourself a
blighted being, does it ever occur
to you that there are others suffer-
ing from ten times your weight OF
woe who do not run about the
world crying over their distress
and airing their grievance2 Think
over that for a moment, ponder on
the fact of weightier woe, and you
viii feel brighter and better before
you are twenty-four hours older.
If you cannot gain consolation
from this contemplation of others
sorrows, tell your own to some one
whom you can trust and who viii
not act bored because you lay bare
your heart before them. Griefthat
eats out the heart is the buried sort
that the world does not see or even
dream of. AS soon as a sorrow is
spoken of it is half dispelled. By
passing it on to another, by word of
mouth, some of the worst features
are lost in the transition. A trust
worthy confdant is a healer of men,
tai woe, though no word of sympa-
thy is melted out to the burden
bearer.
five can only tell our troubles,
they are at once diminished, but
carrying them in secret wears us
ont in body and mind. Do not
blazon your affiiction to the entire
world, but if there is one being
whom you can trust, whether it be
father, confessor or friend, seek him
ont and enjoy the sense ofrelief the
telling brings to an overburdened
heart.
