THE HOMELESS DAUGHTER One of the severest strains society makes on human life is that of adapting itself to ever changing conditions: yesterday it dragged us in a stagecoach; to-day it hurls us across country in limited expresses; to-morrow we shall fly! Once twilight and darkness were without, shadows and dim recesses within; now, wherever men gather there is one continuous blazing day.

He who would keep his task abreast with the day must accept speed and light; for the law is, think, feel, do in the terms of your day, if you would keep your hold on your day.
It is a law often resented as if it were an immorality, but those who refuse the new way on principle, confuse form with principle.

It is the form which changes, not the essence.

The few great underlying elements from which character and happiness are evolved are permanent--their mutations are endless.

Dull-minded, we take the mutations to mean shifting of principle.
