BEATITUDE.

By Philip Burroughs Strong

To MINISTER to all nor seek return; Freely to give with never thought to get; To do the service others coldly spurn, Where, too, no answering gratitude is met; To serve when duty calls unquestioning, Whether the call be one to loss or gain; To deem and do the tasks each day doth bring, As sent of God, give they or joy or pain; To tread where right conducts, with steadfast soul, That in its consciousness of truth doth rest; To walk by faith, ne'er doubting Heaven's control— Who doeth this shall be supremely blest. —Philip Burroughs Strong, in Household.
