morning, Rev. G. L. Fink of
ficiating
They live in the Paroquet
neighborhood and had started
to Newark when they met
Rev. Fink about the Eller
Switch. Being in an accomo
dating frame of mind, th>'
marrying parson stated
that he was ready, so all par

never run into a landslide, a
washout or an. open switch.

A d bein^c ju.sr to your fellow

It's making nr ney, but holding

And staying true to your aims

It’s figuring how and learning

And looking forward and
thinking high,
And dreaming a little and

It’s always keeping in closest i

With what is finest in word I

It’s being thorough, yet mak-i

It’s struggling on with a will

But taking loss with a cheerful
grin;
It's sharing sorrow and work!

And making better this good!

It’s serving, striving through

It’s doing your noblest—that’s
