How does the tide come? Not all in

Daunting the land, and the weather
surprising;
Heaving, receding, now further now

1t is the full tide, and the sea rules

Hcw does the soul grow? Not all in a

Now it may lose ground, and now it
may win it.;
Now it resolves, and again the will
faileth;
Now it rejoices, and now it bewaileth;
Fed by discouragements, taught by
disaster,
So goes it forward, now slower, now
faster,
Till, all the pain past, and failures
made whole
It is full grown and the Lord rules the

exhausted in Oklahoma under call
received yesterday by Adjutant Cen
eral Gipson for 2,264 physically fit
white men to entrain for Camp
