UNTO THE END. KNOW not where to-morrow's paths may wend, I shall be given courage to the end. Though God that awful gift of His may send I shall be given courage to the end. If dark the deepening shadows be, that blend With life's pale sunlight when the sun dips lɔw, Though joy speeds by and sorrow's steps are slow, I shall be given courage to the end. I do not question what the years portend- I shall be given courage to the end. ATTAINMENT. SE all your hidden forces. USE Do not miss The purpose of this life, and do not wait For circumstance to mould or change your fate. In your own self lies Destiny. Let this Hold no aim That does not chord with universal good. Hear what the voices of the Silence say, Material things must answer and obey. A PLEA TO PEACE. /HEN mighty issues loom before us, all WHEE The petty great men of the day seem small, As bugle's call, shall heroes spring to live Of selfless labor for a suffering world. Called into bloodless action, Peace, by thee. And wise, great men shall rise up in the land. PRESUMPTION. HENEVER I am prone to doubt or wonder WHE I check myself, and say, "That mighty One Who made the solar system can not blunderAnd for the best all things are being done."' Who set the stars on their eternal courses Has fashioned this strange earth by some sure Bow low, bow low to those majestic forces You can not put one little star in motion, "So much is wrong, there is such pain - such sinning." Yet look again-behold how much is right! And He who formed the world from its beginning Knows how to guide it upward to the light. Your task, oh, man, is not to carp and cavil At God's achievements, but with purpose strong To cling to good, and turn away from evil. |
