BE STRONG
Be strong! and let thy light burn ■' 'As tlio" lighthouse on the bleak and rocky shore; Amid the gathering gloom and darkness nightly, . The sailor sees beyond the breakers roar. Be strong! and let thy light shine dearly \ As the star that guides the manner on his way, . , Fixed and steady, the ship he loves so dearly Comes. safe to light and calm of the new day,. Be strong! and let thy songs be praises, like the lark that sings in heaven’s blue,;. , ; Its pure, clear notes above the earth it ' raises, ; ’ . ... ' Piercin" the'mist and clouds of darkest nue. Be strong! and prove thy Master’s own alliance. His weapons point unflinching toward the foe. Lay down the puny arm of self-reliance, And live a life of weal instead of woe. -K. L .DAVIS.
