scene near the town of Selbyville,
that turned my mind back to my
boyhood days. AS 1 stood and watch
ed faithful yoke of oxen roll gum
logs out of forest with chains, a
load that would have stalled mules
or horses, as the woods were
swampy and much mire to pull
through. But was told in m1ry

wonderful lesson for each one of us.

pointment on the road of life, Will
we keep on pulling the load with
the muscles of hope and with faltn
that presses on to the goal OF lie 5
ambition. Let us yoke Faith ana
Hope to the gospel cart of charity
and Journey on. Jesus said, rake my
yoke upon you and learn of me, my
yoke is easy and my burden is ngnt'
