Life’s Lesson.

Life is a lesson. Count all Joy, all pain. No more than a part of that the soul must learn In this great school, the world. Though you should yearn For one brief, blessed pause; though you \vould fain Forego the tales of war and bloodshed vain, Remember, you were born to teach! Discorn secrets with unshrinking eye, nor spurn One principle whlch*tnakes the lesson plain; One lesson, so your training be complete. Herein lies life's deop truth, then hold it fast; Failure and loss are better than they seem; No heart so brave as that which bears defeat! He acts the hero's part who wins at last In life-long battle with his vanquished dreamj —Ladies’ Home Journal.
