OCR Text	The Faces That Smile, lirothcr. you urn gazing backward to- ward the scnes of your mistakes; you urn weeping o'er your errors till your proud hn.iit almost breaks, You're repenting ami regreuing. you ore sighing. " alas!" And you're, missing all the glories of the present as they pass. Ieave llio grim and grewsomo picture look tho other way awhile. For tho face that's toward tho future Is tho face that wears n smile. You aro lost In contemplnt Ion of tho blunders you have made; You are sighing o'er tla; r-ounlless times your soul has been dismayed. But tho future's sun Is shining on the future's verdant trees, And the future's birds aro singing you lire missing all ol" these. Cease that use-less gay.lng backward, look tho other way awhile. For the faces toward tho future aro tho only ones that smile. When your back is lo tho futurn then the hia.ini; lamp of hope Throws your shadow o'er your landscape and with blinded eyes you grope For tho blessings that had vanished with the times they strove to bless; Face about and you'll discover all your pro ting's fruillessness. You'll be iln.zled by tho glory of the. prospect for awhile, But with fare turned to ttie future you will learn to wear a smile. S'. W. Gillian In Baltimore niorlcan.
