APPLICATION OF RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS 859

to the accused and wronged are better qualified to cope with the

;

big questions that are confronting our people continually.

An autho r said:

"Somebody did a golden deed;

Somebody proved a friend in need;

Somebody sang a beautiful song;

Somebody smiled the whole day long;

Somebody thought, 'Tis sweet to live;'

'

Somebody said, 'I'm glad to give;'

Somebody fought a valiant fight;

Somebody lived to shield the right.

Was that somebody you?"

He will surely be right in answering, "Yes," if he's a member

of the Religion class.

The Lord will Bless His People

The Lord will bless his people,

If they but seek his face;

If they will trust his promise,

And heed his love and grace.

The God who rules the heavens,

Who bids the winds be still,

Will bless his chosen people,

If they will do his will.

He'll open heaven's windows,

And send the cooling rain;

Thus crowning earth with blessings

More than she can contain.

Then ever trust his promise,

Each word he will fulfil,

If we but love and serve him

And do his holy will.

God guides the flying ravens,

Supports the fainting flower,

Our safety is to trust him

To guide us hour by hour.

He made the grassy pastures,

Each blade grows at his will;

Life's aim should be to serve him

And do his holy will.

What worth are we, if from us

His arm he take away?

How quickly would we crumble,

And join earth's vast decay!

He is our constant helper;

He bids our fears be still;

We're obligated to him;

Then, strive to do his will.
