TIE MAGIC OF LIFE


your own days. that may have
seemed to you commonplace, are full
It Is a possibility that lies under your
hand and mine and the hands of all
OF us, all the time. The only thing
that is needed is to recognize 1t and
make use of 1t. Out of our very
defeats we may make our success, out
Of our sorrows eventually mold and
fashion our Joys, out OF our weaknesses
and trials. our strength; out of delay
and waiting patience and courage; out
OF harm that others In their blindness
or selfishness may have done us. help
for others and light along other
paths than our own; out OF Intolerance
our own or that of others-large
charity. Can you ask for better magic
than this?
Are we making use Of It? That Is ALL
Ask yourself. when you go to sleep at
night, whether you have. during the
day, used any of this magic; and In
the morning ask the heavens to show
you just where It lies.
And IL you are very anxious indeed
to keep your hand on 1t perhaps you
cannot do better than to commit to
memory as / did, with thankful
heart. when 1 first came upon them,
these verses OF William Vaughan
Moody's. Poets are apt, I think. to
know n good deal about the magic of
life. and to have had much to do with
it: but not many of them, perhaps.
have pointed out so clearly to others
Just where It lies as the writer Of
these lines:
''Of wounds and sore defeat
made my battle stay:
Winged sandals for my feet
l wove on my delay:
OF weariness and fear,
/ made my shouting spear;
OF loss, and doubt. and dread.
And swift oncoming doom
made helmet for my head
And a floating plume.
From shutting mist Of death,
And failure of the breath,
made q battle-horn to blow
Across the wales of overthrow.
Q, hearken. love. the BATTLEFRONT!
The triumph clear. the silver scorn.
Q. hearken where the echoes bring.
Down the gray disastrous morn,
Laughter and rallying!'
This is 4 poem to keep in the heart.
There is in 1t something silver that
sounds a clear and stirring note to
rouse. It seems = me. even the dull
again. you see. like some horn out of
Elfand. ranyins the lovely powers of
the spirit
