CHOOSE THE RIGHT.

By Mary M. Buckland

BY MARY M. BUCKLAND.

CHOOSE the right; why stop to parley With the foe? He will lead you down to ruin, If you do. Ever stand with noble firmness, In the light; Ever with true moral courage, Choose the right.

There are many snares, and pitfalls In our way, And we'll meet with fierce temptations Day by day. But there is a way to meet them— Shun the blight. If we ever standing firmly, Choose the right.

If we see our brother falter, Going wrong, We should ever strive to help him To be strong. We should ever keep our colors High, and bright; Ever having this our watch-word— Choose the right.

Then we can lift up the fallen, Help the weak, In the path of truth, and virtue, Which they seek. Then, when the rewards are given, Crowns so bright, We'll rejoice that here we ever Chose the right.
