To the soldier, life's-a battle, To the teacher, life’s a school; Life’s a good thing’td^the grafter, It’>s a failure to the fool. To the man uipon the engine Life’s a long and heavy grade; It’s a gamble to the gambler, To the merchant life is trade. Life is but one long vacation To the man who loves to work; Life’s an everlasting effort To shun duty or to shirk. Even health is now determined By knowledge, food and what wa do. Life is mostly what we make it. Friend, what is your life to you? Most of us have known you, Grace, from childhood, and most of ,us have met your husband since he has been in this community, so in order to remind you in even a tangible way of the esteem in which we hold you, we present you with these gifts, which we hope will serve to remind you of .pleasant memories of the past.
