"OUR CLAY HOUSE (By Lloyd Mauney.) Our bodies are but mere clay houses Fenced around our thirsty soul, Helping keep the darker fancies From our faithful hearts of gold; We build our houses strong or weak Along this glittering way, Following ever our dally task As we make our day. Our bodies are but mere clay houses Built around a mind sublime, Fixing up our deeds and fancies Living in these walls of Time; We shine the surface of our house By our work and thought. Never wasting for a moment That which comes to naught. Our bodies are but mere clay houses Just a wrapping for the soul. While we live and work forever As we 3trlve to gain our goal; We build of matter good or bad That helps the world to be, A greater place in which to live A kingdom for you and me. Our bodies are but mere clay houses Just to keep our soul awhile. We must pay the price of living With an understanding smile; We will see some houses crumble Some that fall along the way. We must keep our houses shintftg As we face the coming day. An alarm clock aroused Frank Smith, of Milwaukee just in time to enable him to save himself and his family of seven from death by gas.
