When Life Grows Broader.

God does not count prosperity as
we count it. Our sense Of proportion
ia largely shaped by our experiences.
When life is quiet and sheltered, and
the stream runs smoothly, we notice
every ripple and magnify every small
obstruction. We are fully occupied
with our work, our small worries.
Then comes some grief, calamity, or
new responsibility which suddenly
changes everything. Our old interests
are dwarfed and look so petty that we
wonder that we ever allowed such
trifles to burden our souls. BY such
experiences life grows broader and
higher and takes on new values. We
have new standards Of measurement
for our fellow men as we'll as our
selves.
