Show TWO GREAT THINGS IN LIFE. Doing Real Work Well, and Love, Says This Writer. On this gloomy day, beginning with a troublous morning a spirit of content grows upon me. Perhaps It Is becauso I rescued those half-burned notes, but somehow It comes to mo with renowed force that two of the great things In life are real work that Is worth the doing and love. To this add optimism, opti-mism, a reasonable and eager hope, and you have certainly the Ingredients for happiness. There Is a spirit of wor-ship wor-ship In work, recognized by the monks long ago In their proverb, "Work Is prayer." The same spirit exists In true love, that Impels us to high ideals, and calls out the best, the truest, the noblest sentiments we possess. "We needs must love the highest when we see It" Real Joy and happiness often exist In tho weariness of toll, and in striving to live up to an ideal and be worthy'of love. There Is no great mystery mys-tery In this, for real troubles have their part In life, yet after all, a great many of them are mere phantoms, that vanish as the sunlight dispels the gloom.
