THE STRENUOUS LIFE.

(By William De Witt Hyde).
o Lord, We most Of all give thanks,
That this thy world is incomplete;
That battle calls our marshaled ranks,
That work awaits our hands and feet;
That Thou hast not yet finished man,
That we are in the making still;
AS friends who share the Makers plan,
AS sons who know the Fathers will.
Beyond the present sin and shame,
Wrongs bitter cruel, scorching blight,
We see the end at which We aim
The blessed kingdom Of the Right
What though its coming long delay!
With naughty foes it still must cope!
1t gives us that for which to pray,
A field for toll and faith and hope.
Since what we choose is what we are,
And what we love We yet shall be.
The goal may ever shine affair;
The will TO win it makes us free.
