FRIENDSHIP
BY r. r. Greenwood
Old friendships that have stood the test Of
years
And not grown dim
Are like the miracles with which our God
endears
The autumn slory and the tender spring;
Repeating Ger and o'er His promise rare.
True friendship is a mark OF godlness
within the soul:
There's naught that man may know more
fair.
Nay. nothing loveier written upon ife's
scroll.

1t Can Be Done

Somebody said that it couldn't be done
But he with a chuckle replied.
That maybe it couldn't be but he
would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he tried"
So he buckled right in with the trace
of a grin
On his face; if he worried, he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed "oh you'll never do
that,
At least no one ever has done it,"
But he took off his coat and he took
off his hat
And the first thing he knew he'd be-
gun it,
With the lift of his chin and a bit Of
If any doubt rose he forbid it.
He started to sing as be tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it can
not be done,
There are thousands to Prophesy
failure;
There are thousands to point to you
one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But Just buckle right in with a bit of
a grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it,
Just start in to sing as you tackle the
thing
That cannot be done and you'll do it.
