Be strong!
We are not here to play, to dream, to
drift,
We have hard work to do and loads to
lift
shun not the struggle, face it, It's
Gods gift.
Be strong!
Be strong!
Saw not the days are evil-whos to
blame?
And fold the hands and acquiesce- o,
shame
Stand up, speak out, and bravely in
Gods name.
Be strong!
1t matters not how deep intrenched
the wrong,
How hard the battle goes, the day how
long,
Faint not fight on! Tomorrow comes
the song.
Be strong!
Dear NJ B. Friends:
The writer of the above poem,
Maltbie d. Babcock, once said in a
sermon mo matter what the
weather does, no matter what the
tides rain or shine, snow or blow,
heart to keep the course as best 1
can, is to succeed and be no failure."
from Congregationalist .. of
June S..
Two years ago Bruce Barton wrotee
an article in the American Magazine
with the title Put the Stars to Work
for you" No doubt some of you
read it, but allow me to give you a
few quotations from it.
/ am quite aware that star gazing is
not taught at any of the institutions
that specialize in business training.
but the stars have been in business
many years. Except for an occasional
mishap in the shape of a meteor, they
are extraordinarily free from mistakes
in organization. They are quiet, eff
fcient and wonderfully wise, since
they have looked down upon the fool
inh little worries of men for centuries.
They have heard the sons of men
gloomily predicting panics and dis
asters for several thousand years, and
you must pardon them little when
you hold before their eyes your tiny
handful of trouble. Their twinkle is
Taught er-nothing else. SO the first
bit of advice they'll give you is this.
Take things easy; don't get fus
tered. If you've done the best you can,
worrying won't help matters any In
the long run, nothing is quite as i'm
portant as it seems
DR.. Theodore cuyler said: staying
power is the one quality which wins in
the fight for success 1t wins over
brilliance and pull, and every other
asset" Patience and staying power
are the stars long suit. BE patient
the twinlling stars sing out, "and
keep everlastingly at it; everything
worth doing takes time"
The last message the stars are try
ing to wig-wag to us is a message of
faith. Have faith in yourself. You're
an important factor in a large enter
prise. Look up at the stars Is it
easier to believe that they just hap
pened so, or that Some One made
them happen? The universe is unit
from end to end. And every man. has
Kind of prism in his own heart that
tells him that the universe must be n
spiritual as well as a physical unit
Right is right and wrong is wrong on
Jupiter or on the worlds that circle
around the outermost star. If you
have never had any conversation with
the stars. let me urge you to make
heir acquaintance.
The terminal examination was on
at DANES school, and a budding
concluded his essay on
Mother Earth with this startling
statement. The earth revolves on
its own axis 365 times in twenty
four hours. This rapid motion
space causes it's sides to
perspire. This is called dew"
She sang and she sang: 81 will
hang my harp on willow tre-e-e,"
each time breaking on the high note.
Finally the patient father in the
rext room ventured, Better hang it
on lower branch, Lizzie"
