The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-10-15
He kept his soul unspotted


AS he went upon his way,
And he tried to do some service
For Gods people day by day;
He had time to cheer the doubter
Who complained that hope was dead;
He had time to help the cripple
When the way was rough ahead;
He had time to guard the orphan, and,
one day, well satisfied
With the talents God had given him he
closed his eyes and died.
He had time to see the beauty
That the Lord spread all around;
He had time to hear the music
In the shells the children found;
He had time to keep repeating
AS he bravely worked away;
sit is splendid to be living
In the splendid world today!"
But the crowds-the crowds that hurry
After golden prizes-said
That he never had succeeded,
When the clods lay DER his head
He had dreamed-'He was a failure"
they compassionately sighed,
For the man had little money in his
= pockets when he died.

So
An effort is being made to secure a
lecture in Worcester from Ernest Sc
Thompson, the well known author
ity on birds and animals. His mana
ger has placed the price of each lee
ture this season at $500, a sum far be-
yond what could be paid by the Y. M.
C. A. or Mechanics Association.
1t is said that the Woman's Club
may take hold of the idea and engage
Mr.. Thompson
Such is his fame as a lecturer it is
thought that there would be little trou-
BILE in filling Mechanics Hall, and with
proper management several hundred
dollars could be cleared for the club.
Mr.. Thompson's lectures this season
have been phenomenally successful,
and Worcester would no doubt give
him big house. If the Woman's Club
decides not to take UP the venture pri-
vate individuals may hire the hall and
engage the lecturer.

On rainy Sunday some women dress

costume that defies the weather can
look presentable in congregation of
the presumably just.
