Admonition

MARY IRVING KEITH with contributions from DEAN STANLEY

Boston Transcript

Waste not the time men call "to-day,"
Spurn not the things at hand;
The future holds no recompense
For those who idly stand
And wait
The chances of a better fate.

Your talent may be very small,
But there are none to spare;
The world has need of little things.
The men who "do and dare"
Shall see
Their efforts crowned with victory.

The diligent may win the prize
Upon the beaten way,
By working with the self-same things
Which you despise to-day.
Success
Is the reward of faithfulness.

MARY IRVING KEITH.

In Boston Transcript.

Every attempt to make others happy, every sin left behind, every temptation trampled under foot, every step forward in the cause of what is good, is a step nearer to heaven.—DEAN STANLEY.
