SOMEWHERE THERE’S A WAY Walking one day by the side of the road I saw an ant with its tiny load Hurrying along, as if he know The hour was late and so much to do. Turning, twisting and circling about The little worn trail wound in and out Till it led at last to where there lay A wind-blown branch right across the way. Puzzled a moment, he stopped to see Just where an upward path might be. Through the leafy maze, but to fail each time. Still bearing his burden, he turned about To find the trail that led down and out. Then, under his bough, across the road. He hurried on with his tiny load. ' And I said to myself as I watched him go, •*() here is a truth all men should know. That, wherever the road, this thing is true: We may find a way. under or over or through.” —BRITISH WEEKLY.
