sorrowfully. As you grow accustomed
to the load it gets lighter. You realize
keenly that you will never be quite the
same as before the shock. You have j
been chastened toto something a little
different Hut

Through it all you have preserved'
the identity of your soul. You have
been passing under the road and
through the processes of readjustment.
And by and by, it may be, you have
begun to see that even pain and sorrow
have their compensations And gnni-1
nally life again becomes worth tbe liv-1
tog.
As the eye, passing from the sunlight
to sudden darkness, slowly adapts:
itself, so docs the soul of mau adjust
Itself to new and changed conditlous.
