Men said as they saw its beauty It shall never know decay. Great is thy skill, O builder: Thy fame shall endure for aye. A teacher builded a temple With loving and infinite care, Planning each arch with patience, Laying each stone with prayer. Ncne praised his unceasing efforts None l-new of his wondrous plan, For the temple the teacher builde' Was unseen by the eyes of man. Gene is the builder's temple, Crunibled into the dust: Low lies each stately pillar, Food for consuming rust. But the teinplel the teacher builded Will last While the ages roll, For that beautiful unseen temple Is a child's innnortal soul. . ,.i: . rv -v-',v B. R.

Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us s metirnes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won if he had stuck it cut. Don't. give up, tho' t.he pace seems slow' You may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside outff The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you can never tell how Close you areg It may be near when it seems afar: Su stick to the tight. when y11'u're hardest hit.- It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit Our policy is built on qualitv and service.
