TEMPESTS

When Nature strikes u earth with
a sudden tempest, how cheerfuliy she
smiles when It has passed. How calm
she ID, yet unlike that calm which pre-
coded it-that ominous calm which
threatened destruction to some things.
And destruction 10 truly manifest
Sometimes we call II great and tsrri-
BILE: yet Nature smiles and makes no
pause to mourn W marred ana
broken things. She keeps her own
ward course, invites to onewed cour-
age and effort, invites to repairs. to
stronger resolve, and to building better
than before.

Always some things are left. What
ever was not strong enough to defy

thought perfect have been swept
away.
Trees that looked we'll. but whose
roots did not cling firmly enough or
had not run deeply enough to insure
their standing, or those which At

their doom. Sometimes the ground 10

But what OF the stately trees ana
the slender saplings which after the
storm stand erect and smile back into
the serene sky above them7
Were they move amid n
strife? Not at all. They bent before
the fury of that dark tempest They
swayed and trembled and bowed them

they swept the very dust. But they
