are numbered; And in the stress and strain, To build up earthly treasure— Beware lest we fail to gain, The beautiful gifts of the spirit—Our passport to heaven above; Thro the gates ajar t.hey only pass—Who are rich in the wealth of Gods love. We may hold rare gems of the ocean,Vast wealth of the mines amass; Yet these can avail us nothingWhen on to heaven wed pass. But knowledge is an attribute, Of Gods eternal self;And they who seek this treasure, Secure immortal wealth. True knowledge makes us fitter Companions of the blest;And gives us strength to bravely meet, Temptations crucial test. Knowledge gives the impetus, To keep lifes upward trend;To make the most of every gift, The Father doth us send. Knowledge gives us sight to see, Gods ways are always best;When through lifes thorny maze He leads His love is our compass—our rest. Then let us prove wise students here,In the worlds great school of life; Gods Paradise awaits us—Reward for every strife. 222 The Granite Monthly
