the furthest away from Easter, from Vic
tory.
We have the struggle against the bitter
human clan, which sometimes is fierce in
deed. And we have the struggle against
conditions And we have the struggle
against ourselves. But there will be Vic
tory. Easter is sure to dawn, II we keep
up the struggle.
1t is everywhere in nature a struggle,
Today your garden is full of beauty strug-
Cling to greet the sun; It is struggling with
mighty struggle, and 1t is emerging
radiant and hopeful, and full of glowing
possibility, II has developed from its ma
terisl self, 1t has emerged from it's cloth
ing Of clay, it has struggled out of dark
ness into light. And lite struggls has ended
in Victory.
Another thing. We do not have to strug-
gle yesterdays struggles over again. They
are gone and done with Some OF them
have left their scars, perhaps, but all have
contributed to the general strength A
scar is often a sign of honor.
And, further, we have nothing to do
| with tomorrow's struggles. oh, the mis-
cry, the heartaches, the sorrow of looking
forward to the struggles of tomorrow! If
We could only write in letters of flame on
our hearts and minds these words "Suf-
ficient unto the day is the evil thereof
None of yesterdays evils should be even
| thought of today. None OF tomorrow's
evils should be dreamed of for a moment,
today, None but today's
/ One at time. One day at time. One
problem at time. One struggle at a
'Ime. One lesson at time, Sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof" Think,
| gentle reader, this minute, the trouble that
is botherng you the most Is something
that has happened, or else that is going
to happen you think; II is not one that
Is happening right now.
For many years the writer suffered from
this habit OF not recognizing the truth OF
that saying. sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof"
II was said by that One, whose victory
the secrets Of his life. And when we
think OF a life made everlasting by strug-
! gle we think OF that life,
And today when we wonder sometimes
II there is any use, when we feel inclined
| to lie down and to quit the struggle, when
NC wonder, after all, II there is an i'm
| mortality II there Is future, II there
! has been "A past for us, we hear those
| words coming TO US from across the cen
turtles: II It we're not So would have
told YOU" Everything He mas told Us has
been proven true and IS being today proven
true And how, then, can this he false'
II II were not so, | would have told YOU
And the struggle is on again And We
look up for IN the distance we can see
Victory.
We do not want TO ge. rid of the strug
gle No, Men and Women do not feel like
that We want the struggle, But the hop,
Of Victory, that is what keeps US up,
AND Easter means Victory.
Thanks be to God
