The committee reviews at length
what the full performance of the duty
imposed upon it requires. and state:
that it realizes the Serious nature OF
the responsibility, but insists that il
will carry on it's inquiry without feal
or favor so that the many who are

NEVER TROUBLE TROUBLE.

BY ANNA r. HENDERSON.
There's CHEEKY little proverb
1t is very well to heed,
In world where pain and sorrow
Are quite plentiful indeed.
IT you would not have them double,
Then keep this we'll in view,
To never trouble trouble
Until trouble troubles YOU
Don't think when storm-clouds gather
You are certain to be drowned;
The very darkest tempest
May quickly blow around
And up above the blackness
Shines evermore the blue;
So never trouble trouble
Until trouble troubles you.
Outlines a gloomy morning
Precedes a sunny day;
So, without word of warning,
Our trials slip away.
What pangs we oft have suffered
From ills we never knew!
So never trouble trouble
Until trouble troubles you.
Quit counting all the bridges
You may never have to cross.
Quit climbing all the ridges
Of future pain and loss
Trudge on and do your duty,
To God and conscience true,
And never trouble trouble
Until trouble troubles you.
-Leslie's Weekly.
