Do not grovel in the dust,
Do not let your talent rust,
Work and pray and love and trust,
You will win.
Rise above the care and strife
Of a vain and selfish life
Where the air with peace is rife:
Free from sin.
Braver yet, and braver climb,
Till you reach the heights sublime
Of a sweeter, holier clime,
On the mount.
And from out that lofty height,
Like a watch-tower in the night,
You will shed a radiant light,
All abroad.
And "some traveller o'er life's main,"
Weary with the stress and strain,
With the heartache and the pain,
May his fainting hope regain,
And thank God.

The Rev. Dr. Moffat, president of Washington College, in a sermon recently delivered in the First Presbyterian church of Scranton, Pa., said: "You hear a great deal about faith-cure, mind-cure and Christian Science. Don't be afraid of them. They have facts to back them up, and facts are stubborn things."
