To Serve is to Gain

Item

To Serve is to Gain

"HE profits most who serves us best!"

Let each who labors, lives and dies

Beneath these star-bespangled skies

Go write that motto on his breast!

"He profits most"--Here is no call

To selfish ease or sordid gain;

Who serves himself will serve in vain;

Who profits most must serve us all.

And he has most who gives the most,

Since what is kept can but decay

--And Death still treads his sleepless way

Among our myriad human host.
