OPPORTUNITY By Walter Malone

They do me wrong who say I come no more,

When once I knock and fail to find you in; For every day I stand outside your door, And bid you wake and rise to light and

Wail not for precious chances passed atoay,

Weep not for golden ages on the wane; Bach night I burn the records of the day, At sunrise every soul is born again.

AMBITION and purpose are the keys to the door of hope, to the unfortunate

and fortunate alike.

They give to one a newer and brighter outlook, and to the other they encourage further accomplishment.

As the Statue of Liberty gives to the aliens a new born hope for better things ahead, so will an account in this bank give to you and yours a sense of security, peace, comfort and provision and prepare you for a richer and nobler life.
