tribulations was a marvel and an example； once told a man who had
come to her for counsel in a moment of bitter trouble； that she had
derived comfort when difficulties loomed big around her by writing
down all her cares and worries； making a list of the subjects that
harassed her； and had always found that； when reduced to material
written words； the dimensions of her troubles were astonishingly
diminished。 She recommended her procedure to the troubled youth；
and prophesied that his anxieties would dwindle away in the clear
atmosphere of pen and paper。
Introspection； the deliberate unlatching of closed wickets； has the
same effect of stealing away the bitterness from thoughts that； if
left in the gloom of semi…oblivion； will grow until they overshadow
a whole life。 It is better to follow the example of England's pure
Queen； visiting on certain anniversaries our secret places and
holding communion with the past； for it is by such scrutiny only
THAT MEN MAY RISE ON STEPPING…STONES
OF THEIR DEAD SELVES TO HIGHER THINGS。
Those who have courage to perform thoroughly this task will come
out from the silent chambers purified and chastened； more lenient
to the faults and shortcomings of others； and better fitted to take
up cheerfully the burdens of a new year。
