1t sometimes requires a higher de-

Don't Look Back.

In climbing up the trail of life, though
troubles may embarrass you,
Though clouds of disappointment may
obscure your mortal skies,
Though thorns lie hidden in the path to
wound your feet and harass you.
And hostile winds may blow retarding
dust into your eyes,
Keep holding on with steady nerve; II you
should fall just rise again,
If you should for a moment stray, get
back@onto the track;
Keep praying that the coming day may
bring you sunny skies again.
Your eyes fix on the beacon light and
don't look back.
The beacon way up yonder CLEANS, though
clouds at times may curtain it,
The light of hope is shining on the
summit of success,
Though it may sometimes vanish from
your sight you may be certain 1T
Again will flash its CHEEKY. rays to
Danish your distress.
The gaunt wolves of adversely from
gloomy lairs may howl at you
And clinging fears your bosom may
most mercilessy rack
The grim fiends of encouragement from
darkened hooks may scoWl at you,
But hold grip upon your nerve and
don't look back.
When rest the darkest clouds of life the
CHEEKY sun will shine again.
The fiercest storm will spend its force
and leave smiling sky;
Around the winter fettered oak the flow
ering vines will Irvine again,
The longest lane of woe will have a
turning by and by
If you should slip and lose some ground
strive hard to gain your place again
Be not appalled, when obstacles con-
front you on the track;
If wearied, stop and blow a bit, then
strike the same old pace again
And set you teeth and bulge ahead
and don't look back.
