WHAT THE CLOCK’TOWER SAYS
On Terrenhall Green, Wolverhampton, tliere is a clock with four faces. On each of the four sides of the handsome stone tower in which it is fixed there is an inscription. The one side reads: — “I labour here with all my might To tell the hours by day and night.” Those simple little words suggest a verse in the Scriptures: “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might” ; and this is much like the proverb, “If a thing is worth doing at all it’s worth doing well.” The second side reads : “For every hour that passes there is a record.” The third—- “ For every hour that strikes there is a joy.” The joy of joys is the joy that joys in the joy of others. And the fourth:— “For every hour that comes there is a hope.”
