“Every cloud has silver lining,” ij
a
The poet and philosopher have dinned that into
our ears until we have come to accept it as true; 4
and it is true. But why must the silver lining
have the clou'd? It is part of the divine plan. Be¬
fore the blossoms, the seed must be buried before
- -
the resurrection, death. We are happy only be¬
cause we know the other extreme - - sorrow. We
realize that we are physically strong, because we
have seen weakness.
Toil, honest toil, is a blessing; like the silver
lining of the clouds, toil has ever before it the
promise of the reward.
There is hearty welcome in our bank for the in¬
dividual who is doing his best in the full confidence
that “beyond the cloud, the sun's still shining.”
The serious question is: Are you doing your
best? Are you trying to make every day count for
something? Are you saving something today,
