It is not all bad—not all roughness.
There are‘the‘smooth‘ bits and the sun‘-
shiny days, and the two must be bal:
speed and. weighed, the one against the
other, ifwe would aspire to the posses-
sion of wisdom or the attainment of
happiness.

sured, our happiness. is in ourselves
much more than in circumstances. It
is we who weave the garment of our
lives either from the sun beams or from
the cohwebs.
It is we who bathe our souls in the
' clear fountain of peace by our, own
resolute will to be content with our
portion and to be patient under our
crosses, or who dye ourselves black
with the bitter waters of Marah—in
the. dark pool. of despair.
