THE CRUCIBLE OF LIFE.

Sunshine and shadow, blue sky and
gray,
Laughter and tears as we tread on
our way;
Hearts that are heavy, then hearts
that are light,
Eyes that are misty and eyes that
are bright;
Losses and gains in the heat of the
strife,
Each in proportion to round out this
life.
Into the crucible stirred by the years
Go all our hopes and misgivings and
fears.
Glad days and sad days, our pleas
ures and pains,
Worries and comforts, our losses and
gains,
Out of the crucible, shall there not
come
Joy undefiled when We pour off the
scum?
Out of our sadness and anguish and
woe,
Out of the travail and burdens We
know,
Out of the shadow that darkens the
way,
Out of the failure that tires us to-
day
Have you a doubt that contentment
will come,
When you've purified life and dis
carded the scum?
Tinctured with sorrow and favored
with signs,
Moistened with tears that have flown
from your eyes;
Perfumed with sweetness Of loves
that have died,
Leavened with failures, with grief
sanctified,
Sacred and sweet is the joy that
must come
From the furnace of life when you've
poured off the scum.
