THE OBJECT OF A LIFE.

To eat, drink and be merry, because tomorrow we
die;
The Masters talent to bury-a gift laid idly by
To scrape with grim persistence the grains of
golden store;
To dig for bare subsistence, that keeps the wolf
But whether in purple and riches we feed on the
fat of the land,
Or up to the middle in bitches live hard by labor
of hand,
To wrestle for ease and pelf, in hunger of great
and small,
Where it's "every man for himself, and God, If lie
will for us all"
With greed that carries pollution of base and pitt
full strife,
Can this be the true solution, the end and aim of
fife?
No. Surely sparks celestial the seraphim share
witnus, :
By instincts coarse and bestial can never be stied
thus
And surely within the portals, that bar their
brighter sphere,
They yearn for fellow immOrtals, though groyel-
ling worm-like here.
The helping hand to reach us, that guiles with
tender care.
The lovlier lesson to teach us Of holier future
there;
To whisper how fair and ample tho field we hus-
band below, "l
To tell of the great example, the Man OF compass
sion and woe;
Of footprints left behind Him in the early path he
trod,
And how the lowest may find Him, who straitly
walk with God,
Who bend their backs to labor, and bend their
knees to pray
In honest love for their neighbor, His one com
mand obey;
Who freely bear for others the burden sorrow hath
laid,
Accepting all for brothers that need brothers
aid
Rejoice in the gain resulting from every milestone
passed,
And travel the road, exulting, that brings them
home at last q. y. Whyte Metr"He
