LINCOLN — They say it is |
futile to turn the pages of i
life’s record to the yesterdays. |
Then all history is lume,
wo se than useless, dead
Today and yesterday is all
we have. Plans, dreams,
schemes for tomorrow are real
only tor today ana bias urn
only because we had yester
day. For every minute ticked
away by the clock of time
the.e is no tomorrow for count
less numbers whose throbbing
bosoms yesterday were preg
nant with high ambition.
The lid* of time ebbs end
out of the receding shadows
who would wish to close the
heart the vision to one love
ly thing. Tnere was a star
lit night across the sweep of
yesterdays when a warm,
soft hand rested in mine and
blue eyes reflected full sur
render as gentle words spoke
their mutual plighted faith.
Before that night of life’s
full throbbing tide were the
!rears of childish tears and
aughter, the careless swagger
of youth and wild adventure,
the time of discipline in a
world of toil. And then there
came a day when a little mite
lay on a white pillow beside
its mother, and mother and
father smiled the understand
ing smile of young parents in
the pi esence of the miracle
of their first Ijorn son.
Are yesterdays only vain
memory? Nothing is vain or
futile that touches the mys
terious depth of human emo
tions. We have the yesterdays
and today. Who knows that
he will have tomorrow only
as he may have built in the
yeste days and today for that
i greater tomorrow?

among other things: ‘ We are
