VOL 69 SPARTANBURG S C APRIL 51906 NO 41 Editorial LIFE By Rev Henry Van Dyke D D Let me but live my life from year to year. With forward face and unreluctant soul. Not hastening to nor turning from the goal. Not mourning for the things that disappear.

In the dim past nor holding back in fear From what the future veils but with a whole. And happy heart that pays its toll. To Youth and Age and travels on with cheer. So let the way wind up the hill or down.

Though rough or smooth the journey will be joy. Still seeking what I sought when but a boy. New friendship high adventure and a crown. I shall grow old but never lose lifes zest Because the roads last turn will be the best.

Our Club List is crowded out this week. The good work goes steadily on. The list will appear in next weeks issue. The famine in Japan increases and the consequent suffering is great Appeals for help are meeting with ready responses from every section of our country Let preparations be made for Childrens Day.

We hope no school will neglect this important day Give.
