ITS ALL UP TO YOU
“No man is beat till he quits
No man is throxigh till he stops;
No matter ho]v hard failure hits,
No matter "how often he drops,
A fellow is not down till he lies
In the dust and refuses to rise.
“Fate may slam liim and bang him around,
And batter his frame tifl he’s sore;
But she never can say that he's downed,
While he hops up serenely for more.
A fellow’s not dead till he dies.
Nor beat till no longer he trijs.”
Ithe Giver of all Good for making
the country the wonderful garden to
jlive in, and for His many blessings
I showered on us day by day.”

The “other fellow” will probably
prove to be a fairly “pleasant cuss”
