MY TRUST

MY TRUST
Which ever way the wind doth blow,
Some heart is glad to have it so;
Then blow it East, or blow it West,
The wind that blows-that wind is
best.
NV little craft sails not alone:
A thousand fleets from every zone
Are out upon a thousand seas:
And what for me were favoring
breeze
Might dash another with the shock
OF doom, upon sone hidden rock,
And so I do not dare to pray
For winds to watt me on my way
But leave it to a Higher Will,
To stay or speed me-trusting still
That all is we'll and sure that He
Who launched my bark will sail
with me 49,
Through storm and calm, and will
not fail,
Whatever breezes may prevail,
To land me every peril past
Within His %shcltering haven at last.
Then whatsoever wind doth blow,
My heart is glad to have it 50,
Selected.

A balcony was arranged on the stage
for the oath Infantry band just above
the trench and there floated old
glory and a symbolic flag of the lone
star state. Huge American flags oc-
cupied prominent places in the deco
rative scheme which the background
of greenery served to bring out the
bright colors with myriads of COL
ored lights cleaning through the
canopy overhead, forming an allur-
ing setting.
