"Learn to Buffer and bo strong," nay
the poet; nnd certain It Is that without
Buffering thoro can bo no Btrongth. Not
Indeed that Buffering Is or makes
Rtrcngth, but that It ovokos tlio latent
power, nnd roueca Into action tho en
ergies that would have otherwise lain
inglorlously supine. Tho dlsclpllno of
llfo Is a ticccBHary proludo to tho vic

Injustice. DllllcuUlc3 can bo conquered
only by decision; obstacles can ho re
moved only by arduous offort. Theso
