= 22 LIFE’S CALL The bell of time is ringing on As clearly in the passing years, Our life, our destinies, our own High calling from afar we hear. YVe pause, we listen, now we feel: Our inmost soul is borne away To follow gently that appeal, That calls unerringly each day. Our high school years are over now But, shall we stop and linger here Or onward press, nor ever bow To tasks that will in life appear. The years will come as time rolls on And well be scattered far and wide; To foreign shores .some may be gone, While others here at home abide. And some may choose a work unknown To the eyes of the world today. Yet who’ll not say that work alone Will show to us what’s hid away. In science deep, some may explore And many wonders bring to light; That men who come ne’er need deplore That these have lived who used their might. There too, will be some happy homes When fair ones from our midst do go; Some one to join who was alone A life to bless, through joy and woe. In country home in happy peace Far from the city’s heat and roar, Will some be found who wish release In nature’s secrets to explore. So what e'er place in life we fill, And what e’er task we’re called to do, May we put forth our best until Death’s final call comes clear and true. 0 trembling heart dost thou be still And wait thy calling from on high A loving hand will guide thee till Thy final summons to the sky. —G. K. OLD NOKOMIS
