PURPOSE AND POWER OF LIFE.
The future is yours, my ambitious boy,
It has waited long for your day,
Like the upward reach of the mountains high,
As with eager look of the parched sky,
It has urged you often to pray. From a million lives it has taken the best;
From a million more it will take the rest;
With these it will mould your life-time plan,
It would make of each boy a noble man,
And a grander task was never given
To any one outside of heaven. Be this your purpose, my earnest boy,
May this your every hour employ,
A noble man, God's hope and aim,
No guile or sinful craft or shame!
'Twere well that such a life begun,
For now both worlds will say, "WELL DONE."
