WE KNOW NOT HIS TIME.

By New York Observer

Nor one upon this floating ball can say, The task which God gave me will all be done To-day, and I can rest at set of sun. It is not given to man to know the day In which he may his work completed lay Before the King. Full oft but just begun Life seems to us when suddenly the race is won, The victor crowned. Palm branches shade the way With shadow dark, as if they were graveyard yew— It seems defeat when it is victory, For we know not when we've attained our best. When task is done assigned to each to do, When utmost limit of our power to be Is reached, know not his time to give us rest. —New York Observer.
