If you pause at the Ctty of Trouble, Or wait ia the Valley of Tears,

With joy and 'de l igh t at the helm. You shall wander .in cool, f r ag ran t ga F-

Journey You shall lind in the City of R e s t

Sis ter F i l o m e n a en tered the confes- s ional . She began to open her soul in humhle , a h n o s t w h i s p e r i n g tones.

"Father , " she said, " I am no t cer- t a in w h e t h e r I have s inned or noL At t imes m y conscience tel ls me t h a t I have t r e spassed a n d then aga in I feel t h a t I have done no wrong. W h a t is s~rangest of all is when m y consc ience absolves me I suf fer more t h a n w h e n it acauses me."

The father confessor seemed non- plussed. "Be more explici t , m y d a u g h - t e r , " he a d m o n i s h e d , " a n d t ry to re- call to m e m o r y all the de ta i l s of w h a t has t ended to h a r a s s y o u r soul.
