Image
They never sought in vain that sought the Lord alright!
Robert Burns

Or like the snow falls in the river, A moment white-then melts for ever . . .
Robert Burns
Image
For thus the royal mandate ran, When first the human race began, The social, friendly honest man, Whate'er he be, Tis he fulfils great Nature's plan, And none but he!
