Slowly and surely we turn toward the east. ieav-
ING the meridian II life. the bfiiiiancy ~ our
youth behind. Our eyes are losins tntir ,ustrc
md GRADUALLY grow dim The strong. firm step Is
snno and shakes and tremblcs beneath tne load Of
formulating years and increasing ir.rmitics. .'hd
slowly we wander until tie east gate Is reached.
and 10 and behold, the pilgrimage OF or life f.
ended We look back and find mount iins Of errors.
thousands Of mistakes and tired OF the past. We
again turn hopefully 10 the east. to the future.
Only one hope is left us a, the end OF our jour
ney. and that is, Shen we drop the working tool,
OF life and face the everlasting cast that tie mortal
may put on Immortality.
