So many times, when things look blackest, it seems that only by drawing on re serve strength can we keep going. Suddenly we find ourselves face to face with opportunity. Everything looked hopeless before. We, were really almost ready to give up. And, then looking back, we wonder how thing* could have seemed as bad as they were. ^ ?'????*? ?
