A HINT. Rev. Hudson Robert Jones had preached what he thought was a great sermon. On the way home from church he came upon a youth sitting doubled up on the steps of a domicile. Wishing to admonish this young person for what he took to be laziness, he stepped up to him and said: “Don't sit there like that, my hoy; get up and stir yourself; you certainly must have something in Perhaps you cannot reach the top, Perhaps your burdens are too great, And it may be that you must drop Out of the ranks and lose to fate. Perhaps you are to know the worst, To fall while others clamber high. Never a race to finish first, But still if 1 were you I'd try. If, as you say, the load’s too great,! The hill too steep for you to cllmh,' Why not put up a fight with fate? Keep plodding, plugging all the time.
