toa Key
of courage to grapple .with diffi
culties that the' world cannot;
understand. - t ' t '
Frequent crossings on ocean
steamers, in rough weather, when
the sailors were at their posts oil
deck, drenched by storms of water
that almost s.Wept them overboard,
taught us that these hardy,
unabashed men knew how to laugh
at winds and waves, and do well
their accepted task.
To work out a given duty to a
deliverance from hardships and to
triumph over evil conditions adds
to the fullness of manhood, and is
well worth all it .posts.
