JUNE FOURTH George III born 1738. Lord Edward Fitzgerald died 1798. General Garnet Wolseley born 1833. This is the gospel of labor--ring it, Ye bells of the kirk-- The Lord of Love came down from above To live with the men who work. This is the rose he planted, here In the thorn-cursed soil; Heaven is blest with perfect rest, but The blessing of earth is toil. --Henry van Dyke   No man is born into the world whose work Is not born with him. There is always work And tools to work withal, for those who will; And blessed are the horny hands of toil. --James Russell Lowell.   Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest. --Exodus 23. 12.   My Father, I pray for the love of work, and the desire to cultivate life. Stir me, that I may be ambitious. May I not stare at life in an everyday way and forget that others are watching for the surprises. Help me to be considerate and kind in all that I do.
