In deep distress sometimes, sometimes

sometimes in the full current of most busy
life, sometimes as if it were the crown and
sum of living, on the deathbed, when the
swapping of old ties is like the cracking
of the winter ice at the approach OF
springtime-at any time, in any place,
wherever God will, whenever the soul is
ready the gates open slowly or suddenly;
the soul has faith in God. and God is
given to the soul. The whole of life until
that comes is but growth, struggle, a
