Excerpt from A Song of Life Awake, arise, listen to the song of life. It has notes of gladness, and strains of sorrow, disappointment and despair, yet even these are softened by the sweet notes of pathos and of love. At first, all may seem confusion and you may declare that all is discord; but wait, strive to catch the deeper melody, for the song is there. It may not be judged by any one note, nor even by any one strain; you must catch the whole theme, then all discord will be lost in the complete harmony of the mighty song.
