* The clock of life is wound but once. No man has the power to tell just when the clock wil stop. Now is the only time we have, so work and love with al wil. For the clock that is moving today, tomorrow may be still. * 

23°d Psalms The Lord is my shepherd; Ishall not want. • He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me ni the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though Iwalk through the valley of the shadow of death, Iwil fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me ni the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shal folow me al the days of my life: and Iwil dwel ni the house of the Lord for ever.
