"a Bit Of Leaven
BY N. p. ].


Get busy! Make the most of lifel
Seek Jour reward in deeds!
Don't waste your strength and energy
In propagating weeds.
Look out upon the worthwhile paths
That spread before your view
And choose the one that promises
The finest way for YOU
Then do your best But If your choice
Prove wrong your course is plain
Don't weep and faint but just detour
And bravely start again.
Success is sure! It's just beyond
The stumbling blocks we find.
They're only blessings in disguise
To strengthen heart and mind.
