PURPOSE
Hold high the steady lantern of your faith, And hank love’s fire securely in the night; For there are those, far off. who look with hope And strength renewed because of this same light. Think it not unimportant how you clear The trail ahead, or hold the guiding flame; For always someone follows where you go And always some one comes because you came. Not for yourself alone, O Pioneer, Were ways made safe and shining, and the Stone Rolled from the path; but to prepare a way For countless journeys other than your own. Not for yourself alone, O Pioneer, The inner light and faith inspired of God, But that all nations may he led to seek The clean-sw’cpt places that your feet have trod. —R. H. Grenville.
