CONTENT.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WAIT.

Content? Why not, when there is One Whose wisdom never errs; Though 1 may falter by the way,
 Whose kindness neer deters. Whose love encompasseth me round,
 And should my footsteps stray So gently, by His wondrouS lower
 Points out the better way. Content to struggle on? Why not!
 Life's gain exceeds the loss: For at the journeys end we'll find
 The illuminated cross.
