Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 40, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 February 1918 — I Will Be Worthy of It. [ARTICLE]

I Will Be Worthy of It.

I may not reach the heights I seek, My untried strength may fail me. Or half way up the mountain peak Fierce tempests may assail me. But though that place I never gain. Herein lies comfort for my pain, I will be worthy of it. I may not triumph in success, Despite my earnest labor; I may not grasp results that bless The efforts of my neighbor— But though my gtJM I never see. This thought shall always dwell with mv, I will be worthy pf it. The golden glory of love’s light May never fall on my way. My path may always lead through night Like some-deserted byway. Though life’s dearest joy I miss, There lies a nameless strength in this—--1 will be worthy of it. .* -Ella Wheeler Wlteov.
