up.
After one swift glance at his almost
fainting mother, Bill Trip turned
slightly, fixing his eyes upon the top

drawn erect, and stiffened as II to re-

strange smile still fingered.

NV Rosary,

Thus begin. when 1 first awake,
My soul all conscious of its needs.
To pray for strength and for His sake.
To follow where my Master leads.
And gently, step by step. go.
Still copying Him in all I do.
And never hurried, never slow,
1 try to keep my Lord in view.
I cannot pray, on Bonded knee,
And I say the Rosary.
And when the morning work is done,
And 1 would pause to pray or rest,
No rest have in shade sun,
Yet all is well, He loves me best.
I press along the patient way
OF meek obedience with my cross,
So tired, perhaps. but who shall say
That following Jesus is loss?
I cannot pray on Bonded knee,
And so I say my Rosary
Self-love is mortified each day.
And pride is trampled in the dust:
And must work when 1 would play
Though I neither good nor Just,
The angry passions, unsubdued,
The love of ease, the fear of strife.
The shrinking from the coarse and rude
Are daily trials of my life;
Yet, bead by bead. dear Lord, for Thee
I try 10 say my Rosary
