Life lapses by for YOU and me;
Our sweet days pass us by and flee:
And evernore death draws us nigh;
The blue fades fast out of our sky:
The ripple ceases from our sea
What would we not give. YOU and l.
The early sweet of life to buy
Alas! sweetheart, that cannot we:
Life lapSes by.
But though our young years buried lie
Shall Love with spring and summer die
hat if the roses faded be

New springs nor question now or why
Life lapSes by.
Unreasonable haste is the direct road to error

hat men need in this world first is an ideal
or standard higher than the level on which they
are accustomed TO tread. Then, after that they
need courage and certainty that they can attain
to that ideal.
Now, in this great beggarly world what men
want, largely is to that men can safely tell
the trnth. Oh that they could see it When they
do see 1t. ten thousand young men will be encour
aged to try telling the truth. What want is to
see that men can walk safely in honesty. What
We want is TO that men can live Justly and
