SINGING BY THE WAY.
Call Black 665
For Society Editor

SSAAAA e&ASe .
Let's sing in cheerful strain
A song to tighten labor
And soothe the heart of pain
A song SO full Of gladness.
So blfthe with hope and cheer,
That weary wayside pilgrims
VIII gain new strength to hear.
Life holds for most, my comrade,
More happiness than pain.
God gives week of sunshine
For every day Of rain
So. trusting in the wisdom
or his eternal plain,
Let's face the rain or sunshine
And do the best we can. ~
Oh, lot us sing, my comrade.
OF blessings by the way.
Each clouds silver lining;
There's blue beyond the grayI
Lo. as we sing about 1t
The shadows break apart.
And all the worlds in sunshine
Because we're light of heart!
