LEAN HARD.
1 her** is nothing we cannot overcome, Say noi tin evil instinct is inherited, Or that some trait inborn makes thy whole life forlorn, And calls down punishment that is not merited. Back of thy parents and grandparents lies The great Ftern.il Will! That too is thine Inheritance, strong, beautiful, divin*\ Sure lever of success for one who tries. There is no noble height thou ranst not climb; All triumphs m.n be thine in Time’s futurity, If, whatsoe’er thy fault, thou dost not faint or halt; But lean upon the staff of God’s security. Earth has no claim tlm soul can not contest; Know thyself part of the Eternal Source; Naught can stand before thy spirit’s force: The soul’s Divine Inheritance is best. —Selected.
