SERVE OTHERS
If you would be successful in . . .
Whatever things you do . . .
Give your community and church . . .
At least a part of you . . .
Contribute something to the folks . . .
Who live along your street . . .
If nothing more than solace when . . .
They have to face defeat . . .
And when you find yourself in church . . .
Remember God in there . . .
And try to ease the burden that . . .
Your fellow-man must bear . . .
Be mindful of the blessings great . . .
You have received yourself . . .
And slip a little share of them . . .
On someone else's shelf.
If you would be successful in . . .
Whatever things you do . . .
