    3. This is the 'T', 'U', 'W', 'Y', and 'Z' list of those who contributed their favorite thoughts to the booklet 'Treasured Thoughts of our Friends' compiled by the T.E.L. Sunday school class, First Baptist Church, Waco, Tx. 1951. ~T~ Mrs. J.B. Tidwell, Waco I ask not that my humble name Be blazened in Earth's Hall of Fame; I only ask that Jesus' name May set my heart aflame. That I a blazing torch may light Some soul now groping in the night, And cause blind eyes to see the light That makes the whole world bright. And if His name may honored be And He be lifted up through me, What though my torch consumed be If other Jesus see! ~Etna O. Mosely, Havana, Cuba Mrs. Joseph A. Thompson, Houston Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past; Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea. -Oliver Wendell Holmes Mrs. E.A. Taylor, Memphis, Tenn. The Veiled Face Great character, like gold nuggets in the mountains, needs but the storms and stresses to reveal it. If trouble and sorrow come to us, we must not sit down and repine, we just wait and watch for some new richness which will certainly be revealed to us. It is really true that grief stands with veiled face to open the golden doors of love and understanding. -Philosopher Mrs. W.B. Tunmire, Waco It's the songs ye sing and the smiles ye wear, that's making the sunshine everywhere. -James Whitcomb Riley Mrs. Mary Tatum, Waco Look not mournfully into the past, It comes not back again; Wisely improve the present, it is thine- Go forth to meet the future without fear and with a brave heart. -Longfellow Mrs. J.C. Tubb, Valley Mills Precious memories, unseen angels sent from somewhere to my soul: May they linger ever near me and the sacred past unfold. Precious Father-Loving Mother, Fly across the lonely years And old home scenes of my childhood, In fond memory appears. In the stillness of the midnight, Echoes from the past I hear Old-time singing-gladness bringing, From the lovely land somewhere. ~J.B.F. Wright Mrs. W.E. Tynes, Houston Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne, Yet that scaffold sways the Future, and behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, Keeping watch above his own. -James Russell Lowell Mrs. R.N. Townley, Waco If I can cheer an aching heart Crushed with loneliness and bound by pain If I can help a ray of sunshine to impart I should not have lived the day in vain. If one little deed that I might do Can help a soul feel happiness again And cause that soul to seek a realm more true I shall not have lived that day in vain. -Sybil Leonard Armes Mrs. H. Trantham, Waco The man who has music in his soul will be in love with the loveliest. -Plato ~U~ Barbara Louise Underwood, Shreveport, La. We cannot see thee; But because we see, We know thy love must ever be. -Ruth Harwood Mrs. Eleanor S. Underwood, Shreveport, La. Praise ye the Lord.

Wood, Waco, Texas Age is opportunity no less than youth itself-As the evening twilight fades away, the night brings out the stars, invisible by day. -Longfellow Mrs. B.F. Watson, Waco, Texas Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. -Emerson Mrs. John Paul Wood, London, England God bless thy year-Thy coming in, thy going out, Thy meat, thy travelling about: The rough, the smooth The bright, the drear, God bless thy year. -Anon. Mr. Kay Womack, Waco, Texas If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel I have worked with God. -George McDonald Mrs. W.H. Walden, Waco, Texas Thy word have I hid in my heart that might not sin against thee. Ps. 18:11 Mrs. R.T. Wilson, Austin, Texas This above all; ;to thine ownself be true, And it must follow as the night the day, Thou can'st not then be false to any man. -Shakespeare Mrs. J.K. Wood, Jr., Kansas City The shortest and surest way to live with honor in this world is to be in reality what we would appear to be. -Socrates Mr. Max Wood, Eugene, Oregon This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein; for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. -Joshua 1:8 (In Memory of my father, Dr. W.A. Wood) Mrs. J.M. Woodson, Temple, Texas Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting. -Ps. 139:24 Mrs. Margaret Whitaker, Dallas Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman who needeth not be ashamed. -2Tim. 2:15 Mrs. W.M.

The Lord is the strength of my life: Of whom shall I be afraid? -Ps. 27:1 Mrs. Frank O. Wood, Hartford, Conn. Memories are the paradise out of which cannot be driven. -Richter Mrs. H.A. Weddington, Waco Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest. -Joshua 1:9 Mrs. J.T. Watts, Waco My God will supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. -Phil. 4:19 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble. -Ps.46:1 Mrs. Josh Wood, Waco Take the quotations from the Bible out of the English literature and the best is gone-no man can really be called uneducated who knows the letter and the spirit of the Bible. -Dr. Chas. L. Goodell Mrs. and Mrs. David E. Wood, Waco My strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure. -Tennyson Mrs. J.K.
