It depends on how we view it, How we happen to construe it, As to whether we will rue it ; Or the1 way in which we try. , Some there are who just adore it; These are they who keep before it ; And they never do deplore it For they find it sweet and kind. But some others would decry it, And still others off , defy it For they wrongly would apply it As if they were deaf and blind-. To the souls who welcome duty, Although sometimes slighly sooty, Life is full of joy and beauty, Full of friends and full of love. Life to these is one grand dream With bright sparkle, shine and gleam With no scar, no blight, no seam Like the fairy land above. - Life is full of fragrant flowers With a lot of pretty bowers And chock full of pleasant hours For the ones who love it well.

In terest must be paid until the whole amount is cleared up, but the collect ing , is, necessarily slow at this junc ture as so much of the total was sub scribed on the installment plan. While convinced that the money sufficient to pay off . this mortgage would never have been raised even on paper in any otier way, it is still hoped that some more of our generous subscribers will find it convenient to pay in full, thus rendering further visits to them by this committee unnecessary. Stock will be issued as soon as possible after the entire debt is paid.
