HOW DID HE LIVE ?
I 1 So he died for his faith. That is| fine. — j More than most of us do. But say, can you add to that line That ho lived for it too? In his death he bore Avitncss at last As. a martyr to truth. Did his life do the same in the past From the days of his youth? It is easy to die. Men have died For a Avish pr a Avhiin—' From bravado,- or passion, or pride—■ Was it harder for him? But to live—every day to liA'e out All the truth that he dreamt, While his friends met his conduct Avit.li doubt And the Avorld with contempt; Was it thus that he plodded ahead, NeA'er turning aside? Then AvefflJ talk of the life that he led — Never mind how de died. —Ernest Abbott.
