God does not sleep
While men design
To cheat, or steal
Or play a part.
He sees. lie knows.
He's still Divine and will
OF hosts of honest men
Take worthy notice still.
No chant nor noise can blind
The One whose Judgment never fails
To weigh each motive of the heart
And measure as is due
To each 'fwell done or else depart
To Him time is as naught.
Eternity is His 10 work His will
He can, and does, and will O 'cr rule
Each human crime and sin
To count for final good.
And those who loudest call
On God, as though asleep
May find though late, that God
Seorns trickery, and will not bless
The men who plan their fellows to
bcrate.
To Him they re guilty
OF as great a crime
As those who openly
Declare themselves a foe,
Go forth to battle with a sword
Their cause for carnage fully known.
Is God asleep No He is not
Don t plan on that oh men supine;
God knows, God sees the motive
Back of all you do, He can and will
Make all things work together
For the good of those, who honest with
themselves
Have never need to fear that God s

CHAPTER TX


1t was mystifying to me to hear
men speak so carelessly of money
Our home dollars were seriously
counted before they were spent. And
a dollar was expected to purchase a
full dollars worth of something
Would l ever be able to talk so non.
ehalantly about money as did Toms
old friends, and as did Tom himself
when he was with them? | made
up my mind that some time money
should be the neglible quantity to me
that it appeared to be to them.
Ii we only had independence enough
not to want to copy other people, and
if we were satisfied with what we
have, or could have, what world of
trouble it would save. But from that
night, the night of my introduction to
the lights Of Broadway, its theater and
restaurants; the simple things which
before had satisfied me ceased to be
adequate. / longed for mxuries, even
before ] realized what my diseontented
feeling meant.
On our way home from the theater
Tom had remarked:
New York s some little town ism t
it Sue and had answered:
''lndeed it isl that is if You can 60
to the places and do the things others
do.'
I'm afraid such sprees aren't for
us--not very often" Tom replied. 81

want Sue, but well have to be patient
and wait until our ship comes in.
