Not many days since we were entertained in a home where the only child and son of adoption had been away from home seven years and is now “over there” fighting for liberty.. The calm ness and faith of this mother gave us renewed courage to fight our little battles. It was indeed a profitable day for us, and on leav ing we would liked to have em braced her and told her how much we loved her, but knowing that actions speak louder than words we refrained, knowing that she would understand. There is no such thing as travel ing fast enough to overtake a lost opportunity. Too many people never recog nize a good opportunity until they have seen its back. One Two.
