When we think and act according to the
motives that prevail
AS We bend our viii and purpose TO the
word which can reveal
All the hidden, inward teaching that
alone our hearts can feel?
Justice makes our earth heaven, gov
erned through the Saviour's name,
Doing as we would that others unto Us
should do the same.
'Inasmuch,'' says Justice Voiclngs, 'as
you've done il unto one
0f the least Of these. My brethren unto
Ne have you il done"
TO yourself as unto others be ye then
both Just and true.
And all virtue. all uprightness, will
express itself in you

A life well spent Is Just.
Let the lives we live be worth living,
Let the days we spend be well spept.
Let Us save for the pleasure Of giving.
And not borrow at 30 per cent.
Let Us never cease loving and learning.
AND use life for its noblest ends:
Then when dust to its dust is returning,
We shall live in the heart OF our friends
