But these modern miracles are not worked with
a mere wave of the hand. They built patience

that confront it. Prejudice sefshness. ignorance

THE BUMPS.

There's no level road to the goal you seek,
No easy path to the fame you crave;
There are grades to make there bumps to
take,
And life finds out il man is brave.
1t never assumes from the smile he wears
When his sky is clear and his heart is light,
That man has grit. but it waits bit
To see how he acts in losing fight.
Life gives medals to tawdry worth,
Nor laures an undeserving brow
1t puts up test for fellows best
And sounds the depth OF his faith somehow.
When there's nothing to fear and there's little
to do
A coward can vow that he'll never finch,
But life wants to see just how brave he'll be
When the claws of trouble begin to pinch
The years roll by with their joy and pain
To filter the brave from the timid hearts,
And the hills sublime hard to climb
Though the road smooth where the
journey starts.
There is much to bear ere you reach the top.
Sorrow and anguish must there be met
But faithful be, for life waits to see
just howkyou stand to the bumps you get
