Some time ago I wrote an artie'e about a book in which a man who had loat his hearig told of the strange, aOtnt world which the deaf inhabit. Among the letters received relative to It was one from a woman in Brook lyn, Now York, port of which is quoted "Due to an operation my ear drums wore broken. To lose one’s hearing in aduh life requires a great inward ad justment. In fact, the struggle is so hard at times that one loses faith in everything. “Yet to shout from the house tops ia of no *vail. Self-pity makes it even more discouraging, as to concentrate upon self is just walking farther into the channel of sullenness. Therefore, there seems but one way to choose—to try to get away from self, if that is humanly possible.” There are thousands of brave, heroi£ people like this woman who are carrying on, trying to jr.ake the best of a life twisted askew by misfor tune. They raise the sum total of human heroism in the world. For when sickness, affliction or sud den handicaps- tumble the dreams of a I of ways of answering the problem how to get sway from yourself. Methods which enrich your mental or spiritual resources, and those ia which the activity benefits others, ar e most effective. For in losing yourself in self-bet terment or in social service and kind red activities you not .only occupy your mind, but also reap the feeling of doing something worth while with your life.
