THE JOURNEY OF LIFE.

II we could see the goal on which we're
II we ne mission knew on which ws'ra
Would our burden be the lighter
Would our pathway be the brighter
Or would we with our lot be more cCntentf
II we but knew the reason for our birthJ
Or realized our own intrinsic worth;
Would our character be stronger
Would our days be any longer?
Or would we find more happiness on
earth2
II we knew tomorrow's sun would drive
away
The sha ows that bestrew our path today,
Would we shirk the tasks we're doing!
Change the course were now pursuingI
And would It better tit us for the frayf
The present only can we call our own.
Each moment holds some task for eaeA
alone.
II is now we should be living,
Working, helping, loving, giving:
For well garner in the future all we've
sown.
'Tis well we're placed upon q certain
track
without the power of ever turning back;
And without the power Of knowing
Whittier leads the row we're hoeing,
With NOW the only time in which TO
act
Omaha. DAVID.
