Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 61, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 March 1910 — CHOICE. [ARTICLE]

CHOICE.

Not what we have, but what we use. Not what we see, but what we choose; These are the things that mar, or bless, ~■■■ T The sum of human happiness. The thing nearby, not that afar Not what we seem, but what we are; These are the things that make or break. That give the heart its joy or ache. > Not what seems fair, but what is true; Not what we dream, but good we do; These are the thingß that shine like gems. Like stars in fortune's diadems. Not as we take, but as we give. Not as we pray, but as we live; These are the things that make for peace. Both now and after time shall cease. —The Outlook.
