Speaking a word ol cheer while here

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.
