THE SIMPLE JOY.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

Do you think your are your own, friend, That you have nothing to give That will help make this world better,
 And make others glad to livef Do you think 'twas for you, only,
 The good Lord gave life to you, To use merely for your pleasure,
 And just for yourself to do. Then you've missed the sweetest comfort Any human heart can know. Iris the simple joy of giving
 Cheer and gladness here below.
