philosophicaliy according TO this
little rhyme of Frank Stanton, in
Atlanta Constitution:
When the storm is BLOWN.
Do not curse your lot;
If it wasn't snowin',
Might be blazin' hot,
When the sun is peltin'
Firebrands-don' scold:
If it wasn't meltin',
Might be freezin' cold.
Take life as you find it
See the ra;nbows curlcd.
Trouble? Never mind it
Good Lord runs the World.
