By J. M. MARSHALL
Now I have reached the 86 mile post, " •
On the road that leads to Glory or despair,
2 I realize that I’ve come to the end almost.
On my journey to that land s0 bright and fair.
The Lord has been mighty kind io me,
Far kinder than I merit or deserve.
He has permitted me 85 years to see,
And for His great Salvation Him I serve. «
The world is drifting from our Father’s loving care.
Drifting away from the Shepherd's fold,
Drifting into Satan’s Seductive snare, ;
Seeking for pleasure or seeking for gold.

prison system can continue to

mons didn’t need a law to com-
