THE YEARS PASS ON.
*• When I'm a woman you'll sco what I'll do; I'll be great and good and noble and trne ; I'll visit the sick and relieve the poor ; No one shall ever be turned from my door ; But I'm only a little girl now." And so the years pabs on. 11 When I'm older, I'll have more time To think of heaven and things sublime ; My time now is full of studies and play, But I really mean to begin some day ; I'jn only a little girl now." And so the years pass on. •• When I'm a woman," a gay maiden said, " I'll try to do right, and not bo afraid ; I'll be a Christian and give up the joys Of the world with all its dazzling toys ; But I'm only a younger girl now." And so the years pass on. "Ah me !'' sighed a woman gray with years, Her heart full of cares and doubts and feara; " I've kept putting off the time to be good, Instead of beginning to do as I should, But I'm an old woman now." And so the years para on. Now is the time to begin to do right ; To-day, whether skies be dark or bright, Make others happy by good deeds of love, Looking to Jesus for help from above, And then you'll be happy now, As the years pass on.
