Carrying Your Point
Carrying your point is not the most
important thing in the world. Pride
and self-will may urge you to conquer,
if you can, but it often happens that
yielding is the higher, truer victory. To
get the best of an argument by a sar-,
castic turn which wounds a friend, to
get your own way at the cost of discour
aging and disheartening someone else,
to win by taking an advantage which fs
doubtful if not evidently -unfair, is to
pay too high a price for victory. Other
things are better worth while than
merely carrying your point. Ex.
Woman's Work
To wash and bake, to mend and
make,
The steps of weary toil to take;
To cook and scour, to dust and swe',
And all the house in order keep,
To rise at morn and o'er and o'er
Do duties done the day before,
Vet know that in tomorrow's train
The same old tasks will come again.
And often to herself to say
The old, old lines, in weary way,
"From dawn of day till setting sun,
Woman's work is never done.''
To watch and pray; to gladly take
Love's crosses for love's crowningsake:
To joy and grieve; to smile and weep:
Her deepest thoughts in silence keep.
To teach and lead; to hope and trust;
Have trust betrayed as woman must;
To gently chide; to cheer and bless
And bear with patient tenderness
Her burdens all not shrink awav.
But bravely look ahead and say:
''From dawn of life till setting sun.
Woman's work is never done.'' Kx.
