When the motive is right and the will is strong
There are no limits to human power;
For that great Force back of us moves along
And takes us with it, in trial's hour.

And whatever the height you yearn to climb,
Though it never was trod by the foot of man,
And no matter how steep--I say you CAN,
If you will be patient--and use your time.

What did you see to-day?

I saw the unloved and unhappy old, waiting for slow delinquent death to
come;
Pale little children toiling for the rich, in rooms where sunlight is
ashamed to go;
The awful almshouse, where the living dead rot slowly in their hideous open
graves.
And there were shameful things.
Soldiers and forts, and industries of death, and devil-ships, and loud-
