1925 THE NORMAL LIGHT Junior High School Class Poem LIFE ' S MISSION I sat one day just thinking Of what my lot could be, As the age of youth was sinking Fast, into life ' s broad sea. There came a distant sound Bearing a message, strange but true: Arise, and go where thou hast found There is work for thee to do. Then I thought of Him who had His life so freely given That men, both good and bad, Might find their way to heaven. Then I wondered for quite a while, Where can this land of labor be? Here in our own great clime, Or across the deep blue sea? Then I arose with heart-felt cheer To search for this land of need ; And traveling on with this idea I served in word and deed. Then I learned that there were those Across the deep blue sea That still in gross darkness grope But long their Savior to see. Thus the great work of life must be To serve our needy fellow man, And when you have crossed the sea Your life will among them stand. Still, as a living monument Of Him who gave His best And to the call of service went And laboring, marched to success. Then let us do our part To press this great work forward; And at last, with the faithful hearts Receive our just reward. — Norman Parker.
