Dear  Friends:  I  have  just  been  reading  the  article  entitled  "The
Strong  Man,"  and  in  reviewing  my  own  life  I  would  like  to  say
that  in  the  three  years  I  have  been  trying  to  live  the  regenerate
life,  I  have  never  been  subject  to  any  loss  at  night.  My  worst
time  has  been  just  after  arising  in  the  morning,  when  I  had
allowed  myself  to  become  conscious  of  my  daily  cares  of  the
home.  But  I  am  gaining  strength  every  day  and  the  loss  is  now
only  occasional.  Every  moment  I  realize  how  much  depends  on
the  condition  of  the  mind.  In  the  beginning  I  broke  down  the
old  standard  of  woman's  duty  to  her  family,  and  erected  a  new
one  of  woman's  duty  to  herself.  It  has  been  a  struggle  to  estab*
lish  it,  but  power  has  been  given  me.  And  now,  after  swaying
between  the  extremes  of  overdoing  and  neglect,  I  recognize  the
necessities  of  life,  and  I  have  much  more  time  for  thinking  and
reading.  I  sometimes  think  it  much  harder  for  woman  to  over-
come than  for  man,  because  her  time  is  so  completely  taken  up
that  she  does  not  know  herself  at  all.  The  necessity  of  forsak-
ing all  for  the  ''kingdom  of  heaven"  is  being  made  very  clear  to
me  and  I  am  truly  realizing  the  narrowness  of  the  way.
May  others  be  convinced  of  their  error  is  my  prayer.
