he was so angry that he could have

Dearest:
The world is a wilderness of
white beauty tonight. Never did
a moon more brightly or brilliant
ly light up the path of heaven!
All day it has showed steadily,
and the feathery flakes cling like
fairy diamonds to every leafesS
bough. Just before supper 1
gathered up my skirts and went
down to the edge of the river. A
flock of sparrows were twittering
in the snow. A clear. yellow sky
showed behind the hill on the op-
pOsite bank. There was perfect
peace after the storm, the high
wind had wandered off and Joined
other winds in the far North and
decided to make a night of it, and
our little village was left calm
and quiet. Have you never felt
sense of beauty and peace which
made your soul hurt and ache?
That is the way my soul ached as
! stood by the edge of the river.
] thought of those few lines which
you marked for me once:
Now l will take me to place
of peace,
In solitude and prayer work out
my souls release"
