The tragedies Of life are not
sickness and death; these are it's
passing shadows, it's SORROWS by
the way, grieyously heavy at the
moment; bat,neitherd disintegrat-
Ing nor .Heakening. The death
which follows an act Of sacrifice,
q courage, oi faith, opens q door
through which q great light
shines; it may bring great sad
ness; it-cannot bring the sense OF
futility which strikes all meaning
out Of life, or the sense OF the
victory Of evil which shrouds it
In the gloonlof eternal orphan
age. Lincoln's death at the mo-
,rnent Of emefgence from thatlong
anguish Of soul was unspeakably
rad; butthe, hour OF his going
was the beginning a revelation
81 his spiritapd service which is
TN inost .pricsless possession .of
this Nation. When q mans life
opens the door Of hope for all
time to cone and lights the mys-
terious path 81 life as with agreat
torch, the sadness is for the hour,
and the strengthening Of faith in
service and love is a permanent
addition to thewealth OF human
ity.
That wealth is spiritual; men
have tried again and again to
live by bread alone and have
gone near to starvation, and
then the bread has merclfully been
taken from them and they have
heard again the word OF God, and
health and sanity have come
back to them. There is no life
giving and life-sustaining power
! in wealth; comfort, ease; if these
things are rightly used, they set
men fres'for high endeavors and
they make splendid service pos
sible; but they cannot feed the
spirit, and to try to live upon
them is to starve. The events
that strike our mortality are in
finitely sad; but the tragedies OF
lie are those events that strike
our immortality, that destroy
faith, weaken hope, blur the Wis
ion, and devitalize the will. The
man who accidentally kills his
i,llow may bring grief and an
guish to many; but the man who
violates q sacred trust, breaks q
holy vow, uses a good reputation
to hide an evil life, strikes at the
souls OF hi3fsllows.
There are many kinds OF sad.
ness in lifes but the tragedies are
one and all rooted in the immor'
talities Of the world. The hurri.
cane and earthquake destroy the
work ofgenerationsin in amoment
and bring widespread misery and
death in their train; but they
open the heart Of the world, and
