AN EXCELLENT CREED

An American minister recently
shot an arrow IN the air. He sent
it in the form of verse and called
it "My Creed" II eventually fell
to earth in T. P.'s Weekly, a famous
British review, and after reproduc-
ing it, the editor Of that paper sug-
gested that it should be printed in
every English paper in the world.
To alter the metaphor, the seed fell
upon good places, and it has been
blossoming on its way, and, let us
hope, putting new hope and courag
in the hearts of men. 1t has become
a sort of journalistic prayer chain,
and will no doubt go marching on
into hundreds Of thousands Of
hearts. 1t is as follows:
/ would be true, for there are those
who trust me;
| would be pure, for there are those
who care;
L would be strong, for there are
those who suffer;
! would be brave, for there is much
to dare;
| would be friend to all--the foe
the friendless;
| would be giving, and forget the
gift;
/ would be humble, for l know my
weakness;
| would look up--and laugh and
love-and lift.
