APHORISMS AND REFLECTIONS
Government by average opinion is merely a oiiymlous inetliod of going to the devil; those who profess to lean but in fact slavishly follow this average opinion are simply the fastestrunners and the loudest squeakers of the herd .which js rushing blindly down to its destruction. -X- * -X----l.t’s very sad to lose your child just when he was beginning to bind liimself to you, and! don’t know that it self to you, and I don’t know that it is much consolation to reflect that the longer lie had wound himself up in vour heart-strings the worse the tear would have been, which seems to have been inevitable sooner or later. One does not weigh and measure these tilings while grief is fresh, and in my experience a deep plunge into the waters of sorrow is the hopefidlest way of getting through them on to one’s daily road of life again. No one can help another very much in these crises of life but- love and sympathy count for something.
