In some form or other we are all burden

q sharper difference between men than in the
way in which they carry their respective burdens
What then is the secret Of successful burden.

In the last analysis much depends on ones

I've had sickness in my family for long while, -

A beautiful woman, one of the army of the
'shut-ins, and herself wasting away with con-
sumption, said recently to boy: God will
never put anything upon you too heavy for you to
bear" The years have confirmed the truth of
that prophecy. Certainly no man ought to play
the baby act because of his burdens He

vice in the matter Of the reliability of news from

can be believed; but if he should say that the
Retvsan would be ready for action again by Sun
day. he would probably be trying to bluff the
enemy. Another hint is this: If news apparent
ly important yet not quite credible on the face of
it, should come almost simultaneously from diff

from different places, rather than one, would
strengthen its inherent probability. But even a
