Some old barn, a lean-to, or a shed, sagging like hope, speaking with a dumb, unfiagging eloquence of what was once but is no more. The plans, unhinged, affected with dry rot like aging timbers, and all of rnan's best purposes, his vision fair scrapped, or fallen into despair. Yet I have seen men's faith rebuild in deep foundations laid, though late and few the years, I have seen fulfilled man's urge to husband and create in planted windbreak fresh plowed field and new young orchards. Though he may not live long enough to see them yield their fruit, or shade, or sheaf some spot will bloom or build again since he I thought past his own mortality.
