My path across this plain God bids me choose, And make it straight or crooked as I will. But right must be the path of those who win The approbation of their inmost hearts, And smile of an approving, all-wise God. A goal, then, I must have — a purpose firm. A chart and compass, too, I'll surely need To guide my steps across this trackless plain. Oh, then I'll make my goal a perfect life! My chart shall be God's Word ; my star, His Son! And if, perchance, I stumble here or there, If sometimes darksome clouds obscure my view, When clears my sky, I'll press my jour- ney on, Nor willing turn aside from the bright Star That points me ever toward my chosen goal — A perfect moral likeness to my God. — C.
