WE MUST PAY OUR WAY.
Written and Composed by Mrs.
Joel Hancock
I have thought this matter over,
And more serious does it seem
That we must pay our fare
Before we are redeemed.
I will try to overcome
My temptations every day,
For the way would be too easy,
If we did not have to pay.
If we fail to get our ticket
To that fair, eternal home
We will miso the joys of heaven,
When he comes to claim his own.
Let us think this matter over
In a good and quiet way,
The road we all must travel
If we fail to pay our way.
It will lead us down to sorrow,
Weight our hearts with pain and
woe,
If we fail to get our ticket
In this old world below.
Of course my Bible telis me
Whosoever will may come.
Still he demands our ticket
When our race on earth is run.
My dear, kind pastor mentioned
Those few words to me,!
And it put me to thinking
What did it mean to me.
And if we are included
We must do hi? will below,
For we will need a ticket
To enter in that door.
I will try more faithfully
My duty to perform,
Because I want to meet lov’d ones
In that home beyond.
0 dear Bm. Garrett, I thank you
For your kind and good advice,]
For I can almost hear you say,
“You can, if vnu will try.”

SOMEWHERE.
By Caroline Ripley Dorr.
How can I cease to pray for thee? Somwhere
In God’s great universe thou art today:
Can He not reach thee with His tender care?
Can He not hear me when for thee I pray?
What matters it to Him who holds within
The hollow of His hand all worlds, all space.
That thou art done with earthly pain and sin?
Somewhere within His ken thou hast a place.
Somewhere thou livest and has need of Him;
Somewhere thy soul sees higher heights to chmb;
And somewhere still there may be valleys dim,
That thou must pass to reach the hills sublime.
Then all the more, because thou canst not hear,
Hoor, human words of blessing, will I pray,
Oh! true, brave heart, God bless thee, wheresoe’r
In His great universe thou art today.
We hear a lot of croaking these days about the immorali
ty of our youth, and one proof of this immorality, continual
ly held before us, is the modem dancing. It is true that jazz
music does not lend itself to sobriety in dancing, so if any
thing comes under censure, perhaps it is the music. How
ever, the “jazzy” impulses of our present day young peo
ple, whether expressed in music, dance, or even in dress, is
a result of the high tension produced by the war. Already
we see a tendency toward conservatism along all these lines.
As proof of this, “The Last Waltz,” a musical comedy,
is drawing large crowds in New York in spite of the fact that
there is not one jazz number in the entire repertoire. The
music is high class, and very enjoyable, and proving to be as
popular as the syncopation of “The Follies.”
Not much longer will the pessimists have cause to shake
their heads and say, “I don’t know what the young people
are coming to.”
We all know the story of Pollyanna and her doctrine of
always being glad. We often hear people sneering at her,
saying, “Sue was too glad, just as Elsie Dinsmore was too
good.” Nevertheless, Pollyanna seems to have almost a mo
nopoly on the right principle of living which opens the way
to a short cut to happiness.
It is impossible to be either very bad or very mad when
one is very glad. Also how much anxiety we would miss if
we would not insist upon crossing our bridges before we
reach them. Let this idea of being glad be your religion for
a while, for after all, cheerfulness is the normal atmosphere
of every religion. We would all find that life would move
for us much more smoothly if we could say with Browning,
“God’s in Ilis Heaven. All’s well with the world.”
To be able to do cheerfully the distasteful tasks which
each one of us must do is worth as much as to be able to dis
cover a gold nnnd. If we could compute the number of times
a fretful disposition has made us ill, or rather if we were able
to trace the cause of all oui illness and found how often a bad
disposition was at the root of it probably most people would
not believe our computations. For that reason a cheerful
disposition is worth a gold mine.
Of course, it is easy to be cheerful when things are going
your w r ay. Any one can wear a smile then. But at other
times it is not so easy, queer that it isn’t too because finding
fault with things doesn’t change them any. In fact the dose
doesn’t taste nearly as bitter if we ta <e it with a smile.
When a thing has to be done, and when no amount of grouch
ing around about will get us out of the task, why not do it
cheerfully? Try this plan anyway and see how it works.
IT SAID SO.
One day recently an elderly farmer drove into town and
hitched his team to a telephone post.
“Here !” yelled a policeman, “you can’t hitch there!”
“Can’t hitch ! Why not?” shouted the farmer. “Why
have you got that sign up then, “Fine for hitching?”—Du
