I cannot always see the way that leads

With hands of love;
But yet know the path must lead me to

And when reach llfe's summit shall know
And understand.

But, looking backward, | behold afar
Its shining wake,
Illumined with Gods Hight of love; and so

In perfect trust that He who holds the helm
The course must know.
l cannot always see the plan ON which
He builds my life;
For oft the sound of hammers blow on blow,
The noise OF stIiGe.
Confuse me till quite forget He knows
And oversees.
And that In all details with his good plan
My life agrees,

| cannot always do the tasks He gives
in life's hard school;
But am learning with His help to solve
Them one by one;

An ex-bank official said that during

count of earelessness In handling
money.
One collector, who WIS light heart
ed fellow, was going along the street
in high water season dipping up "A
twenty dollar piece with his thumb
and finger and catching IL as IL came
down. Finally it slipped and fell
through a grating on the sidewalk into
about two feet of water. He made
some efforts 10 recover II, but finally
decided to wait till the water was
gone, and then IL was found that the
coin was also gone. Another time the
same fellow was coming up the street
with $4,000 liz twenty dollar pieces
on his shoulder. In some way he lost
his hold on the sack, and In striking
the sidewalk It burst, and the coins
rolled in all directions. A number Of
people rushed to his assistance, but he
described a large circle around the
sack and, waving his arms wildly, or
dered everybody TO stand back" He
recovered most of the coin. but decided
10 get out OF the banking business.
Another time Chinaman came into
the bank and deposited $500 and took
a certificate of deposit The clerk
who made out the certificate was pre-
occupied and wrote 5000 on 1t and
on the stub. When he made up his
cash at night he was 81 500 short. He
knew where the mistake was and tried
to hunt up the Chinaman; but, al
though he got a clew, he could never
find him, and he remained $500 short
on the books. He had a notice OF the
date Of the certificate. amount, etc.
pasted in his desk and WAS always on
the lookout to catch the certificate as
it came in. Just a year from the day
the deposit was made the Chinaman
walked into the bank and presented
the certificate TO be eashed. When
asked how much he wanted he said
all-S200. He had never noticed the
mistake in the amount of the certffi-
cate. and he has never found il out,
and the clerk suffered the worry OF be-
