J4 pfain jag zn' you ant! We NCE upon a time a little boy was born into. this great world of ours. His parents adored him, as parents should, and their dreams and hopes for his future knew no limits or bounds. As time passed he grew strong in body and mind. In his boyhood he played as a boy should, and when he reached man's estate he worked hard, as a true man should. He did not amass great wealth, he did not have thrust upon him the plaudits of an admiring world. But whatever task was given. him to do, he performed to the best of his ability; Wherever he could help some other human being, he never failed. As his declining years drew near, he often felt that his life had been somewhat of a failure, for he had never led mighty armies, or guided great governments, or directed the fate of nations. It was therefore with great diffidence, yes, even terror, that he approached the final day of judgment, and appeared before the bar of Divine justice, in that court where so many of the world's most prominent figures had been weighed and found wanting. His soul failed him, for What possible chance could such a poor humble creature have? But the words that came ringing to his ears came not from mortal lips, but from the Divine searcher of all hearts and lives: Well done, faithful servant; thou hast been faithful to thy appointed tasks, and thy reward is sure. Enter thou into the joy prepared for thee! .70 m? $ear grienold 0f tAe Graaluating Cfadd: Page 7 1945
