Speaking a word ol cheer while here below, Or blighting breaking hearts with leaden hail. Seeking to gather roeee ami enjoy their sweets Strewing the thorns, leaving a jatth ot ebante, Nor caring who may (all or whose wounded feel May fail in life's sad day without a name, telling some saddeued soul of sunshine fair Shining forever on the darkest cloud. Helping to lift life's burdens and to care For men »ho »tiuggle but whose hearts are bowed. Thinking sometimes of swaet and blest release, From toil, temptation, tears and wear ing pain Stopping amid the throng to breathe a word of peace, To Brother mortals and pass on again. Or yes on forever, on we journey Even tho the way be bnght, or dim with tears, For what we sow we reap, that is the measure Not only now but in the coming years. Then let us sow the beet, that on the marrow What we have sown today may bring us sweetest rest. And tho the path we walk be some times strewn with sorrow, Yot will our friends return with love possessed So shall we walk along life’s evening garden Peace and relapse will be our staff and stay. Friendship and love will be the faithful warden To guide us to a purer better day. v, • APPLICATION h'K t'HANGK or NAMB In the County Court ot lb. Sutv ot Oregon, for Multuoni.h County.
