DAY BY DAY.
I heard a voice at evening softly say: Hear net thy burdens into tomorrow. Nor load this week with last week’s load of sorrow; Lift all thy burdens as they come, nor try l'o weigh the present with the by and bjr. One step and then another, take thv way— Live day by day. Live day by day. The path before thee doth not lead astray. Oo the next duty. It must surelv l*e The Christ is in the one that’s close to thee. Onward, still onward, with a sunny smile, Till step by step shall end in mile by mile. I'll do my best," unto my conscience say— Live day by day. Live day by day. Why art thou bending toward the backward wav? One summit and another thou shalt mount. Why stop at every round the pace to count The past mistakes if thou still remember? Watch not the ashes of the dying eml>er Kindle thy hope. Put all thy fears away— Live day by day. - "Atlantic Monthly.”
