A MESSAGE OF TRUTH.

By Eliza A. Otis

O soul! O soul of mine! Up! up! and heavenward; for it is thine To higher rise, so wilt thou, and to take Glory of goodness to thee. Struggling soul, unfold, Like some white blossom with its heart of gold, Unto the sunlight of God’s love; His purpose share; Be thou the blessed messenger to bear Truth to the world by living truth each day; For truth that’s lived is stronger far alway Than that framed simply in a fruitless word. A theory unlived has never stirred A life to action. Soul, be up and do That which makes life—the right, the good, the true. —Eliza A. Otis.
