MY OWN WORK.
This is my work; my blessing, not my
doom;
Let me do my work from day to day
In field or forest, at the desk or loom,
In roaring market place. or tranquil
room;
Let me but find it in my heart to
say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me
astray,
This is my work; my blessing. not
my doom;
OF all who live. I am the only one by
whom
The work can best be done in the
right way"
Then shall I see it not too great, nor
small,
To suit my spirit and to prove my
powers;
Then shall I cheerful greet the
Iaboring hours,
And cheerful turn, when the long
shadows fall
At eventide, to play and love and
rest,
Because l know for me my work is
best.

stances denying them the right to occu-
py their own ancestral lands and by a
system of legislation keeping them in
an actual state of peonage. Some month
ago delegation of African chiefs went
to London and complained to King
George of the treatment accorded them
and their people under the Union gov
ernment Of South Africa. ss
In speech here today, Lieutenant
General Christian SHUTS, British mem
ber of the League of Nations Commiss-
ion, referred to native troubles in the
Witwatsrtrand gold mine fields, which
he characterized as dangerous.
sBetween 10000 and 10000 blacks
are striking. General SHUTS said, and,
by means OF organized picketing, are
doing things of which he would have
considered them incapable. The speaker
declared he saw signs that a tremendous
change was coming over South Africa.
tThe nonsense which the whites have
been talking Of republics of blood and
tears will be put into practice by the
natives,'' General SHUTS said, "and,
too late, it will be found that this idle
talk has put these mischievous ideas in
to the heads Of the natives.
