For this is the journey that men make: to find themselves, If they fail in this, ii doesn't matter much what else they find. Money, position. fam•e .many loves, revenge are all of little con sequence . , . But if a mao happens to find himself - i f he knows what he can be depended upon to do, the limits of his courage, the positions from which he will no longer retreat . . . the secret reservoirs of his determination. the extent of his dedication. the depth of his feeling for beaoty, his honest and unpostured goals, then he has found a mansion which he can inhabit with dignity all the daY,s of his life.
SCOTT D. M O O N , M.D.
I learn, as the years roll onward And I leave the past behind, Thal much I had .counted sorrow But proved that God is kind: That many a flower I'd longed for Had hidden a thorn of pa1n And many a rugged bypath Led to the fields of ripened grain. The clouds that cover the sunshine: They cannot banish the sun, And the earth shines out the brighter When the weary rain is done. We must stand in deepest shadow To see the clearest light; And often through Wrong's own
