INSPIRING THOUGHTS
WHAT WOULD'ST THOU BE? A blessing to each one surrounding me: A chalice of dew to the weary heart, A sunbeam of joy, bidding sorrow depart. To the storm-tossed vessel a beacon light, A nightingale song in the darkest night, A beckoning hand to a far-off goal, An angel of love to each friendless soul: Such would 1 be. 0, that such happiness were for me! F. R. Havergal. * * * What man would he wise, let him learn of the river That bears on its waters the record of Time; A message to him every wave can deliver, To teach him to creep tilt lie knows liow to climb. 1 J. O’Reilly. * ■ tt * * Thrift is the basis of self-help, and the foundation of much that is excellent in character.
