My Babe

246 IMPROVEMENT KRA which were in his path, and where he now sees the world »as one vast plain, with one endless reach of sky. As he stands upon the mountain peak of "Success" he breathes the pure air of God's fresh sunshine. He stretches out his arms to his God and with his lips he says, "I thank God that I have withstood the trials and temptations of youth, and that I have now reached untainted and unsoiled, a pure and noble manhood, which is the greatest of all successes."

The paths which lead to success in this world, and in the world to come, are not easy but, young men, tread them firmly ;

and bravely, and with unfaltering heart; and as your reward yoti will surely pluck the fruits of success, and you will then be able to thank God all the clays of your life. LOGAK, I'taii

My Babe Another life to us is given; A "life," a soul first fresh from Heaven, Another "Breath of God" enshrined in clay Sent here to grow and flourish in its day.

A laughing soul born in "the Light," To send a radiant ray and banish night; From a world all torn with shame and sin; To see the Great Millennium ushered in. As pure as a lily blown in the sun, May it be as pure when its "Sands" are run, The "Wedding G"ment" may she don When the "Crown of Victory's" won. Then shall this "Soul" placed in my care, Be a blessing sent to help me bear The trials sore that beset my path. For "Gifts" are given to "him that hath:"

To "him that hath" it shall be given Crowns and Kingdoms, the Real Estate of Heaven; Be it said of me when I am dead That "Crowns and Glories are on his head." Aubrey Pakkeb shelley, idaho
