Ing is more humanizing than grief 1t
takes sometimes, bitter sorrow a keen

time all alone. shut off from companion

appreciate what real sympathy means.
But Il may we'll be that the full, rich

his heart that II Is ripe to respond to
the sorrows and griefs or others.
There is no Joy on earth. none which

out Of his abundance Of JOY and felicity.
he stops on his onward and triumphant
march TO lift up a fallen brother. to
cheer on the weak-hearted, TO speak the
needed word of consolation to the man
who stands in nakedness Of soul facing
the great emptiness OF desolation. Then
It is. perhaps. that q man realized for
the first time the futility OF human COM
Partnerships; comes to know that after
all the loves OF this world are but fleet
ing and temporary. and turns with ach-
ing heart and chastened spirit to the
one Father OF us all. whose arms are
always open and whose words are al
ways here for the healing OF sorrows:
Whom the heart Of man shuts out
Sometimes the heart Of God takes IN,
And fences them all round about
With silence mid the worlds loud din.
When we are prosperous and tho world
goes very well with us we are apt 10
despise this quality Of sympathy, and
% say that it is a remedy only for weak
souls. But when the sword that is sus-
pended over all Of us falls, and for a
time we grope blindly amid the dark
ness, doubling the goodness OF God and
finding little that IS gentle in human
kind, then it is that we realize what sym
pathy may mean.
And here is a good place to call to
mind the beautiful thoughts Of the
Hoosier Poet, Mr.. James Whitcomb
Riley. which were also sent in as apt.
by Mrs Chamberlain. whom we thank:
When over the fair fame Of friend or foe
Tho shadow Of disgrace shall fan: instead
