Wail not for precious chances passed away, Weep not for golden ages on the wane; Each night I bum the records of the day,— At sunrise every soul is bom again! Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped, To vanish joys be blind and deaf and dumb; My judgments seal the dead past with its dead, But never bind a momei % 2t to come. Though deep in mire wring not jour hands and weep; I lend my arm to nil who say, “I can!” No shame-faced outcast ever sank so deep But yet might rise and be again a man. Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast? Dost reel from righteous Retribu tion’s blow? Then turn from blotted archives of the past, And find the future’s pages white as snow. Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee from thy spell; Art thou a sinner? Sins may be for given; Each morning gives the wings to flee from hell, Each night a star to guide thy feet to heaven. —Walter Malone. — METHODIST BISHOP URGES WAR ACTIVITY Bishop J. M. Connor, D.
