Every Day Religion

EVERY DAY RELIGION. (For the Improvement Era.) An ev'ry day religion Of prudent thoughts and deeds, Alone can bring the harmony Of action that succeeds. The soul's degree of culture-state And how il is refined By habit, and by manners, too, Is shown by every mind. That soul has no temptations Who wills them all away, For new ideals, bright and pure, Their greater joys portray; While culture brings the happiness From better points 'of view, ' And sweet religious thoughts inspire The hope and faith to do. An ev'ry day religion, An ev'ry day reform, While growing better ev'ry day With hearts so true and warm: 0 this is what we advocate In culture for the race, Until each soul is sanctified By adding grace to grace. Salt Lake City, Utah. Joseph L. Townsend.
