''Our President tells us to- lift not
lean. Does that mean to lift our minds
from the dust and dish washing of
every day life into the realms of
thought that we may understand the
beauties of literature and art? Every
thing in nature seems TO lift itself up,
AT least to hold its head up, from the
cedar of Lebanon, to the lowly violet.
Each blade of grass, each tiny blossom
seems to hold its head up, as if to say TO
the monarch of the forest, | have the
same right to my part Of the sunlight,
my part of the dew and the few drops
of rain | need AS you. The foot of man
may crush me- the hand of man may
lay you low. And who has said Lift
up your heads eternal hills How the
wind can lift when in a passion, the
roofs from buildings, buildings from
their foundations, and when the wind
and waves unite how they can lift
mighty ships and dash them in pieces
on the rocks. And clouds lift some
times, and some have such strong
natures they can almost lift clouds that
seem hanging over friends aud clouds
look very heavy sometimes, when they
seemed filled with rain, or tears per
haps. Our President does rot expect
any great feats Of strength from us
just to help lift the load of care from
one who is burdened. Nature never
intended all should have the same ca
pacty for lifting. If we are to "strnt
our brief hour" on the stage Of life, we
must have scene painters, as well as
actors, The scene painter could not by
any possibility become an actor, yet he
is as necessary in his place as the star.
If "all the worlds stage and all the
men and women actors we each have a
place to fl. and part to play. Now
we know this l.. N. o. plant is getting
! to be large tree, with long branches,
leaves and blossoms and roots that reach
deep down into our hearts and are
nourished by the springs of good will
found there. 1t must in time lift up its
head and be seen of men. Shall each
l&ge we read that is useful, equal leaf
on this tree? Shall each mental effort,
each poem equal a blossom that shall
grow, and bear good fruit? | have no
aspiration to become blossom on this
tree, but am content to remain leaf and
hope no high wind or severe frost will
cause me to lose my hold, but when my
day is done, shall fall quietly to earth
and return to dust again
