World Womb Be Better.

World Would Be Better.
l tell you the world would be better to-
day
If some of US paused for awhile
To ask what we're doing along our own
To add to it's song and its smile.

Far more than it does all the rest;

OF friendship and interest-in foe or in
That the Master of Friendship has
taught.
