suit a few years ago by a humble
flower-girl against her young

many ugly charges were hurled
at the girl. She was called a
"gold-digger," a blackmailer;
a shameless creature without a
shred of honor; one who loved
nothing but money, and the
luxury money could }>uy.
But when, in a voice broken

* * * * *******
My purpose in life as time goes on,
Is not to perish with the passing
dawn,
Like the soulless things that makes
earth's dust,
And the gold that glitterSj until
tarnished with rust.
The dew drops purpose is to vanish
away,
And likewise a tear drop, or the day
But you and your life will forever
last
After other things have faded and
pagfeed.
A new day is born, 'tis morning,
With brightest jewels, crowning ad
orning.
It's dawn changes into a noontide
Then eventide and the day goes by.
While loving and living through life's
short day,
I would pay the price that others
must pay,
Weep when other weep or sing a joy
ous song,
And stand with the fighting ranks,
Though the battle may be long.
There's, a purpose for man's life'
God knows his worth,
As he knows eternity and the time
on earth.
He hath measured the sunrise of
man's purposed goal
And builded a home, a temple for
i the soul.
