People Back From Vacations Will Find Plenty to See Right Her0;
Opportunities Grow Stale
Unless Promptly Seized
and Used
Where the rain-water cisterns supply
the drinking water for families far away
from fresh-wells and streams, somebody
must be critically watenful of clean pipes
and roofs that catch the welcome streams
from the sky. Many a man lost a chance by
one day's delay.
he day's work left over for tomorrow
doubles the burdens of tomorrow.
