Success from chance oft comes,—And oft from effort made does his best, leaving results with God,Does well,—-does all angels themselves can do,—No hero, saint nor martyr eer did more,—And in the Judgment Book his records are the joys that true repentance backed by courage and a firm the right road now Legions feet were set,Fame based on selfish acts, or deeds of he abhorred; and used himself alone to glorify,Devoted now to peace and is he who opportunityDoth gladly use to help his fellow man!.
