WHEN OtTE LIVES FEEL DULL AND WEARY.
When our lives feel dull and weary And our hearts are sad with care, Let contentment be our motto, We will conquer our despair. When dark and threatening clouds are coming, On them let us keep an eye j We will o'er them soon be victors, If we only trust and try. Life we know is like a shadow That is fleeting fast away— Who can tell what cornea to-morrow, Let us do what's good to-day.
If by sickness we're afflicted, Perchance we suffer as we should ; 'Tis a dispensation proving, And may be given for our good.
When our dearest friends are parting From us and this world of strife, Let us with them look beyond it For an endless, peaceful life. William Laurie.
