Shine Just Where You Are
John Hay.

Don't waste your time in longing
For bright, impossible things;
Don't sit supinely yearning
For the swiftness of wings;
Don't spurn to be a rush-light
Because you are not a star,
But brighten some bit of darkness
By shining just where you are.
There is need of the tiniest candle,
AS we'll as the garish sun;
The humblest deed is ennobled
When it is worthily done;
You may never be called to brighten
The darkened regions afar;
So fill, for the day, your mission
By shining just where you are.

A Word From the Wise

A wise man once said that there were two classes
of people he always steered clear of-fools and flat
terers: The fools, because they generally spent their
time in fattering him and the %hatterers, because they
spent theirs chiefly in trying to fool him-Judge.
Plant patience in the garden of thy soul!
The roots are bitter, but the fruit is sweet:
And when, at last, it stands a tree complete,
Beneath its tender shade the burning heat
And burden of the day shall lose control
Plant patience in the garden of thy soul!
Henry Austin.
