YOUR MISSION

YOUR MISSION
II you are signing for lofty work.
II great ambitions dominate your mind
Just watch yourself and you do not shirk
The common little ways OF being kind.
II you are dreaming of a future goal,
When, crowned with glory, men shall own
your power,
Be careful that you let no struggling soul
Go unaided in the present hour
II you would help to make the wrong things
Begin at home; there lies lifetimes toll
Weed your own garden, fair for all mems
Before you plan to till another's soil.
God chooses His own leaders in the world;
And from the rest He asks but willing hands
As mighty mountains into place are hurled,
While patient tides may only shape the sands.
ELLA Wheeler Wilcox.

Cupid shoots with unerring aim in Ari-
iona and that he had reserved one
shaft especially for her.
