HOW TO LIVE.
Live for good that you may do; I?or the errors you may fight ; For the aid that you can give ; For the needs you can relieve ; For the wrongs that you may right ! -Live thus — God will prosper you. Live for brave and noble deeds , With an aim and purpose high , With a faith and courage ti ue, With a future still in view , Besti ug. when you come to die , 'On God's love. To heaven it leads. Live^ affliction to console , Giving strength unto the weak , Giving hope to dumb despair , Like an answer to a prayer ; Be a help to tho&e that &eek , Comforter to heart and soul ! Live to learn, and to be wise , And -to scatter what you know ; Live to sweeten sorrow's cup , And to lift the fallen up ; Live fo • vice's overthrow , And to rescue truth from lies! Live to say : '"Thy wilt be done ! " Even though it seem unjust To your dim, imperfect si^ht ; What lie douth must he right. Keep a firm, unwavering tiust , Doubting none and questioning none. lave, that men may all be won To be followers of tlie Light ; Live in fellowship of love ; . Live so that, when called above, And you bid the \vorld " Good-night !" God shall welcome you* : "Well done!"
