IF LITTLE, RIGHT.

By Sel.

'Tis but little I can do! Let this be my effort still, Ever to be kind and true, Ever watchful against ill, Doing, Lord, thy holy will.

'Tis but little I can say; Let me ever keep in mind Something true, to speak each day, Spurning every word unkind; So thy favor I may find.

'Tis not long I have to stay, Health and life will soon be gone; I've no time to throw away, Sin and trifling I must shun; Life's grave duties must be done.

In this busy world of ours Good and evil are abroad; To restrain all evil powers, To urge forward right and good, Equal service is to God.

Count not things as small or great; Rather count as wrong or right; On the right side throw your weight, Feeble be your blows or strong, Be your service brief or long.

—Sel.
