CHRIST THE LEADER

Mrs. A. E. Hawkins sings of “The March of Life” in these lines:

Sometimes the order comes to “Forward march!”

And falling into line my step I keep

Beside my comrades, o’er the toilsome road,

Nor think of rest or sleep.

Then suddenly the order comes to “Halt!”

And steadily I plant my feet and stand,

I know not why or wherefore—I can trust

The Captain in command.
