CANADIAN SINGERS AND THEIR SONGS
Service.
They were not born in vain
who live to bless
And solace others; who, while some
may strive
Out of the spoils of men to grow and
thrive,
Abjure the need of wrong and selfish-
ness.
Nor doth he live in vain who mak–
eth less
The sum of human sorrow; who in-
spires
Hope in man’s breast, and kindle’s love’s
sweet fires;
Whose charity relieves a friend’s distress.
Long may he live! to whom is ever dear
A brother’s fame; whose eye can rec–
ognize,
Whose pen proclaim, the merit that
he sees;
Who with his books and friends holds
gentle cheer;
And whom a poet’s song, or maxim wise,
Can never fail to interest and please.
Arthur John Lockhart.
Pastor Felix.
