worked, jealous, nervous, what had
Halle to spare for him? She saw
him only at long intervals, and his
baby loyalty and devotion went to
his grandmother and aunts.
What Halle did, you can do. 1t
is the cure. It is the open sesame
to the land of peace and plenty. She,
in her own words, least her burden
upon the Lord"
IT went on my knees" says her
second letter, which came to me
only few days ago, land said, oh,
Lord, I am wrong. I've made
all the mistakes woman can
make. I've done all I could to
wreck my life and the lives about
me. Set me right. Show me the
way!"
The prayer was answered, of
course. That prayer always is. Not
by any sudden miracle, but by the
slow shifting and changing of life's
colors from dark to light. Halle
got up from her knees confident and
refreshed, and began to do the thing
nearest her with all her might.
Washing, cooking, managing the
children, she did it all humbly,
waiting for guidance. Guidance
came. Her aching head cleared; !;
she began to sleep deep. II felt
like wings were under everything,
all of a sudden" she writes. eff
Bruce's children were cranky, I'd
say in my heart, Lord, you help
them was praying all day long,
in my heart"
Well, to make a long story short,
the sick small boy in wheel chair
was presently transferred to his
mother, and financial aid was given
for his care. The small cheerful
sufferer had an immense influence
upon the other children. The at
mosphere of the household changed; /;
Halle was a smiling, beloved wife
again. She went on praying-no,
not praying exactly, but lifting her
heart continually into that clearer
purer air that is the realization Of
God and good. She lives in that
atmosphere always.
That is the one great miracle of
life. Greater than the atomic bomb
is the discovery that skaters the
hardness of human hearts and wins
them this peace that can face
change, poverty, hard work, with a
confident smile. The discovery that
the Kingdom of Heaven is within
you.

PRAYER CONQUERS ALL

Sometimes there seems to be
no scay out of difficulties. Unhap-
py marriages, sickness, poverty,
loss of loved ones, press do,Un on
many women until the burden
feels unbearabIe. There is only
one Way out.
after divorcing her first hus-
band, Halle married again, &C.
quiring tsOo step-children at the
same time. Her otUn son con-
tracted intantile paralysis and
required constant care. Another
baby died at birth. Then her
husband began to spend his
money on other Women. HatIies
misery bo,Ued her to the earth.
Then she turned in despera-
tion, to prayer. She "cast her
burden upon the Lord" Slo,oly
she regained peace and resigna-
tiOn.

TF YOU knew of a country
without care, would you
l. move there?
If-beyond the ocean borders,
or far south toward the Pole
there was an ideal land of eter-
nal spring, a land whose people
were simple and good, a land
without money worries, with
out the nagging fears and dis
appointments that make up our
daily lives here, without hate
and war, how busily, and with
what energy and determination,
thousands of war weary and
worry weary families would
plan to move there!
Any sacrifice would be worth
while, any effort made easy, by
such a hope for ourselves and our
children. For life on today's terms
has grown too hard and too COM
plicated, and in sense, too hope
less, for many of us to face with
courage. Mankind has been busy
for years creating all the evils from
which civilization ought to rescue
us; ruin, hate, despair, fear, hum
ger, disease, debt. Now when op-
timistic voices tell us glibly how we
shall overcome these evils we feel
a deep Encouragement. Overcome
them? Why, they never should
have existed at all!
Well, there is that ideal country,
and it is close to us all. But very
few women find it. When they do,
when they live in that placid sum
shiny climate, loving life as beloved
and happy children do, liking to
wake in the morning, welcoming the
restfulness Of sleep at night, we look
at them with envy.
They Live in Peace.
These women are rare. Some of
them are homely and poor and griz-
zled with years. Most Of them have
faces that show signs of past crises,
agonies, sacrifices, despairs. But
these things only show enough to
make brighter the peace and beauty
of their present lives.
Halle Foster is one such woman,
know. I've never seen her;
perhaps never will. But she writes
me letter that tells the old story,
the story of a soul harassed with
fears, of a body troubled with
aches and pains, of a situation so
complicated by mistakes and faults
that there seemed to be no way out
of it.
Halle wrote me from Omaha,
Neb., some four years ago. She had
been divorced for some years, and
was living with a second hus-
band and two step-children, all of
whom made life extremely difficult
for her. She had been so anxious
to divorce Van and marry Bruce
that she ceded to Van the custody OF
her own child, boy. Her baby by
Bruce died at birth-she said be-
cause of the nervous condition into
which the unmanageable step-chil-
dren and disappointing husband had
thrown her. She had backaches,
headaches, sleepless nights. She
wrote me that she had "long lost
every vestige of charm, every scrap
of attraction for Bruce, who is vast
ing his money on other women al
ready"
Prayer Was Answered.
Meanwhile her own boy went into
long and dangerous illness. The
scourge of infantile paralysis
seized him and he needed actual
years of tenderest care. Sick, over
