Unhappy marriages, sickness, poverty, loss of loved ones, press down on many women until the burden feels unbearable. There is only one way out. After divorcing her first husband, Hallie married again, acquiring two stepchildren at the same time. Her own son contracted infantile paralysis and required constant care. Another baby died at birth. Then her husband began to spend his money on other women, llallie's misery bowed her to the earth. Then she turned in desperation, to prayer. She "cast her burden upon the Lord." Slowly she regained peace and resignation. worked, Jealous, nervous, what had Hallie to spare for him? She saw him only at long Intervals, and his baby loyalty and devotion went to his grandmother and aunts. What Hallie did, you can do. It Is the cure. It is the open sesame to the land of peace and plenty. She, In her own words, "cast her burden upon the Lord. "I went on my knees," says her second letter, which came to me only a few days ago, "and said, Oh, Lord, I am wrong. Ive made all the mistakes a woman can make. Ive 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 lifes colors from dark to light. Hallie 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, Guidance waiting for guidance. came. Her aching head cleared; she began to sleep deep. "I felt like wings were under everything, all of a sudden, she writes. "If Bruces children were cranky. Id say In my heart, Lord, you help them. I was praying all day long, in my heart. Well, to make a long story short, the sick small boy in a 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 atmosphere of the household changed; Hallie 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 shatters 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. Dislikes Nail Polish Two POULTRY, CniCKS -v--v C . ii Vy. & EQUIP. trend U. S. APPROVED blood chicks. 14 breeds.
