Most any of us can sing when we are
well and when wealth is rolling in on all
sides. But who of us can sing when
poverty is knocking at our door? 1t is
strange even past finding out why peo-
pie will look on every side and work
every plan to evade trouble, instead OF
looking to the hills from whence COM
eth their help. "The world HIS its
night" then cOmeth the dawn AMI sun
shine. The sun takes the earth in its
warm embrace and kisses away every
tear from the sparkling grass. "The
day is for labor but the night is for rest
The night is gloomy time with many
of us, for we are unable to see our way.
We are afraid of robbers and reptiles
and even the cry of the whippoorwill
sends thrill through our bodies and
makes our hair stand oH'ends. The water
as it ripples over the pebbles down the
brook, chants different song at night
The chirp of the cricket and the croal
of the frog have strange effect on US
at night. Yet how beautiful is the
night with its starry Heaven above us.
"Man resembles the world" and is &
little world within himself. The worlC
has its days and nights, so has man.
Days of peace, nights of distresss.
Days of joy, nights of troubles.
Days of praise, nights of mourning.
Days of hope, nights of doubt.
Days of health, nights of sicknes.
Says one, "If you give health I will
sing, but I.can't sing so easily on a sicl
bed" It's mark of true greatness tC
be able to sing even though troubles ar
staring us in the face There are thre,
reasons why we should sing in the nigh

to our own life.
| Second-It is a sign that we are the
children of great King.
Third-It cheers our friends an
neighbors. If they are sad it vii
brighten their life. Therefore let u
sing and help our brother.
Take my moments and my days,
: Let them flow in endless praise;
Take my intellect, and use
Every nAWar "a thou shalt choose -
