but a poor fraction of the 'con

which make it 'iiost worth while

love, beauty, goodness, faith, alone
can give vitality ttj the mechanism

the tears that freshen the day
waste within, the music that
brings childhood back, the prayer
that calls the future jiear, the doubt
which makes us meditate, the
death which startles us with mys
tery, the hardship w hich forces us
to struggle,-the auxiety that ends
in trust are the true nourishments
of our natural being.
