Thou goest thy way and I go mine; Apart yet not afar; Only a thin veil hangs between The pathways where we are; And God keep watch 'tween the e and me this is my prayer He l ooks thy way. He looketh mine And keeps us near. --Julia Baker * * * Ina Pierce Edith Mil1or Lottie Ruthe~ford QlmlM!m: _10 (f} (Tune: "The Old Refrain") With heart and hands we strive to do the bestJ Our eyes upon the highest peak doth rest; Honor and culture both we have in v!ew, F1·iendship and Loyalty and courage, too As onward up the path we daily go; We falter much, our steps are often slow. But for God's helping grace we daily pray; His hand for us will ever point the way; So to our tasks we go without a fear; We know "To labor is a pleasure" here; A smile and song the way-- The Culture Club day to day. for all along lives on from --Emma Walker
