We
hear a note of regret voiced many times by those who have not had the advantages of an education, either of public school or of college, because they feel that this education would have been an asset to them in their life-work.
To fast is not to grieve with downcast look;To fast is to reject the carnal mindWith all its hates, and fears, and empty pride,Deceptive, wrong desires that do enslave.

Lord
, send Thy light! so sped the humble prayer,That suffering sense of darkness might be healed;The loving grace of God the need suppliedAs to the waiting thought came Truth, revealed.
