A Line o Cheer Each Day o the Year

THE RICHER LIVING.

First printing of original poem. written daily
The Washington Herald.
The Washington herald., 1916-08-14

Another lady, much older, has been for many
years in the solitude OF the deaf. Every day, ir
the way she bears her afflicton, she shows wha
comfort a serene, healthy mind be. She
never complains. She meets her trials with q
noble patience And yet she misses the easy
social relations that she used to have with her
kind Occasionally, in her presence, her rela
tives will discuss subjects that they would not
refer to in her presence if she could hear. Whcr
she asks what they saying they will some
times resort to deceit which she almost invaria
bly, detects. Then she is likely to say: THAT
isn't what you said. But never mind"
The loss OF one sense in this instance appears
to have made the other senses sharper. 1t has
also developed finer qualities Of character by
drawing on deeper resources, by apparently call
ing out reserves that otherwise might never have
been reached.
The Washington herald., 1916-08-14

Blind people, the other hand, without cx-
ception, matter what their qualities Of char
acter may be, appeal deeply to the sympathics
Of others We can sec the signs OF blindness
and can easily realize the immense loss in
volvcd. We enjoy doing services for the blind
The general goodwill must help TO make their
lot much easier and must help to explain why
they are. rule, cheerful people. But they
must have their moments Of bitterness when the
enormity Of their loss comes upon them with
overwhelming force. 1t is such moments that
test the courage Of the afflicted and that, when
met, and successfully met, prove the value OF
character
Father Tabb wrote one OF his most beautiful
poems when he knew he should have to meet
this affliction "On Going Blind" He reminded
himself that now he must find his >olacc in that
relation to the universal beyond all sense in the
things unseen"
Affections often develop tho realization OF the
value of things unseen. BY setting people apart
1t puts them in the position Of those holy people,
not to be found so often as they used to be in
other periods who devote large part OF their
lives to contemplation If they do not catch
something Of the solaCc that goes with Contcm-
Plation they bound to suffer great unhappi-
ness, to experience many moments. of despair.

On the comfort OF philosophy to secure immun-
ity from the sense OF loss
The Washington herald., 1916-08-14

Deafness is particularly hard to bear for many
reasons; Of the chief being, that it is hard
for others who not deaf to put up with It.
So it is all the important for people who
are afflicted in this way to have qualities that
likable When we really like people we
cheerfully help them in their difficulties even it
there is involved some sacrifice on our part in
