Sometimes it occurs that one is sc
completely overwhelmed by sorrow and
grief that all the comfort and consola'
tion of human affection seems helpless
to brighten the thought. Then we need
to remember that there is sorrow that
purifies, and another sorrow that works
evil. 1t will sweeten or sour the dispo
sition according to the direction il
takes. But in the apparent helpless
ness of insurmountable grief, there is
the consolation that the power of one
ringly into repentance and purificat'on
In the momentum of that directed ex
perience no harm can overtake us. Only
good can come out of it. Such an as
surance removes the fear and heals
the grief. This is the real Comforter
at work in the human consciousness
purifying ones thoughts and motives
There is therefore grief that is
salutary; for it sweetens the disposi'
tion, chastens the affections and en-
ables one to be charitable toward the
faults of others.

gentle woman of deep religious expe
r;ence trained from her youth to seek
in divine Guidance actual relief from
sickness and distress Added to that

sonal charm by reason of her refined
manners and well. l.balanced mind. Then
in the flower of her youth. she was over.
wbelmed with grief at the loss of all
that seemed near and dear to her. There
followed n long period of invalidism and
the search for a remedy, which culmin.
oted in tbe conviction that disease re.
snonds most readily TO n mental remedy
Stil abiding in that conviction, she met
with an accident which was SO serious
that il was expected to result fatally
Knowing that only spiritual things could
save her. she turned to her Bible for
help and as she read those spiritual
truths. she was wonderfully healed. That
was in 1866. There was her proof of
mental healing. and that the divine
Mind is the healer to comfort in sorrow
and in sickness The NEXT step was ia
