He will be missed most by those who knew him best. R. B. ,39 A lVlAN'S PRAYERH Make me live My mighty Master, Such a life as men should know, Tasting triumph and disaster, joy-and not too much of woe, Give me such a heart, to love and laugh, So, if you call I'll never fear it Then may this be my epitaph. Here lies one who took his chances In life's busy world of men, Battled fate and circumstances Fought and fell, and fought again! Won sometimes, but did no crowing, Lost sometimes, but didn't wail, Took his beating, but kept going Never let his courage fail L He was fallible and human, Therefore loved and understood Both his fellow-man and woman. Whether good or not-so good. Kept his spirit undiminished, Never failed to help a friend, Plaved the game till it was finished, Lived a soortsman to the end. 5. CARLYLE FAHLSWORTH STRAUB.
