OPTIMISM

1t is very hard work sometimes
to keep ones viewpoint optimistic;
to believe that whatever is, is best.
AS | write this morning, my
whole soul is in rebellion against
that part of life which, try as we
may, we can not change. That part
of our destiny that goes on and on,
inexplieably sending to those we
love great physical suffering which
may end as last in untimely death.
Such destiny has just had its
mortal ending in the death of one
that l loved. | can not see why,
this morning, they are preparing
all that was mortal of my dear
friend for her last repose, when she
might have had SO many future
years to make her friends happy
with her many acts of kindness;
her pleasant smiles and her radi-
ating personality of goodness and
truth.
Why should this lovely young
woman, with everything to live for,
have been stricken with most
agonizing and incurable disease?
Why must she have suffered tor
lures for weeks and months, only
to pass over the border at last?
Why do not these scientists turn
their attention to this disease
which attacks our nearest and dear
est just when they are most fitted
to help on the uplift and give joy
to this gray old world?
can do nothing but question
this morning. Through blistering
tears and bowed head | question
the right of it all.
Why did my lovely friend, who
never in all her life gave anyone
an unkind thought, who spent her
days just doing good, suffer until
those around her blessed in their
hearts that death which brought
surcease from pain, while someone
else passes on her way blithely,
leaving wreckage i'll her wake?
Why is this so?
All God, All sorrow, all tragedy,
all the agony OF the word is com
pressed into that one word, "Why"'
Today, for me, there is no answer.
This morning | can not see the sun
shine, for my eyes are blinded with
tears. can not think ofshappiness
and glory, because the one | loved
so well, upon whom | often de-
pended for a smiling friendliness- to
