forgetting II, and learning from the
bitter lesson she has had TO be q
nobler and more compassionate
woman than the woman who has
never sinned. That is why a woman
sits down before her ill-cooked food
or her bungled sales slips, or her
lill-typed letters. and weeps over her
failures, instead OF learning how TO
do her work better. That is why
the mother Of unruly children cries
over them instead OF spanking them.
Tears are the high-wster mark
Of incompetency and futility. unless
they wash ones eyes clear and give
one the straight vision. Repentance
is weakness unless Il leads to re-

REMORsE.
A woman writes me:
Il am suffering the torments of
the damned because / feel that
virtually murdered my husband
whom I dearly loved. He was of
q delicate and sensitive disposition.
and / know that I hastened his
death by my exactions, and selfish
ness, and bad temper. What shall
do to find peace?"
The best remedy for remorse is
atonement. OF course we can do
the injury we have done them. but
we have the living with US, and we
can pay our debts to those who have
passed beyond our reach by making
life easier and pleasanter to those
about US.
Perhaps there are very few men
and women who ever bend above
the coffins of their wives and hus-
bands without being torn by the
pangs of conscience. They may not
have sinned the big sin, but they
have been guilty of the little ones
that made the road that might so
easily have been made soft and
Who, at such a time, has not
looked at the shut eyes and remem-
bered how little gladness he or she
has brought into them, and how
often a stabbing speech has filled
them with tears, Who has not
| looked at the pale lips, narrowed
into the straight line of death, and
wished that he or, she had kissed
them into smiles oftener? Who has
not gazed upon the folded hands,
and wept to recall how much need
less labor he or she had imposed
upon them?
1t is proverbial that second mar
riages are almost always happier
than first: that there are no hus-
| band spoilers like widows who re-
marry, and that the man who has
been harsh and niggardly and ty-
| rannical to his first wife, is lavish
to his second wife and putty in her
hands.
1t would amaze these Number
Two husbands and wives to know
that they are reaping the fruits OF
remorse, and that a conscience
| stricken woman or man is trying
| to square herself or himself with
] the dead, but such is often the case
When we do wrong. II Is just that
we should suffer for II, and whole
some to the soul for US to clothe
ourselves in sackcloth and put ashes
on our heads. but repentance Is a
virtue insofar as II makes us better.
All beyond this is sheer morbidity.
After all. what Is done. is done.
That cannot be changed. and to
spend ones life deploring a sin or
regretting a mistake or wishing that
one had acted differently is a wick
edly futile employment.
Women are particularly given to
this vice. They cruelty themselves
on the cross of their imagination,
! and blame themselves for things
that have no existence OUTSIDE VI
their fancies. IF / had gone to this
