“ A WORD OF CHEER.”
Some moments there are in every life When the spirit longs to rest, When the heart is filled with a black despair, When the weight of trouble, remorse qnd carp Seems really greater than we can bear, And Death were a welcome guest. But we crush it down and we go our way To the duties that lie in wait. From day to day we renew the fight, To resist the wrong and to seek the. right, To climb at last to the suncrowned height, And to triumph o’er time and fate. And thus —for my heart goes out to them — My meed of praise 1 would give To those who struggle life's path along, The host of toil, who are patient, strong, The unrewarded, unnumbered throng, Who are brave enought to live.
