WHEN ST. CHkYSOSTOM PRAYED.
BY NJ. J. P.

Twas not enough to kneel in prayer,
And pour his very soul away
In fervid wrestlings, night and day,
For those who owned his shepherd care:
But faith and works went hand in hand,
AS test of each petition made,
And saints were helped throughout the land
When St. ChIysostom prayed.
Within the closet where he knelt,
box of Bethlehem's Olive-woOd-
=" For Christ" engraved upon it-stood;
And ever, as he daily felt
The pressure of the church's need,
Therein the daily gift was laid;
For word had instant proof of deed
When st. Chrysostom prayed.
Beneath his folded hands he placed
Whatever gold was his and when
He Travelled for the souls of men,
So long by pagan. rites debased-
The more he agonized, the more
The burden on his spirit weighed
And piece by piece went all his store,
When st. Chrysostom prayed.
Oh, gOlden-mouthed let this thine arms
Rouse. us to shame who daily bow
Within our secret places now,
With outstretched, yet with empty palms
We supplicate indeed but has
Our faith brought answering works tt
aid
Have words by deeds been proven, as
When st. Chrysostom prayed?

force includes $4,000 ministers, of
whom $4,000 are Nonconformists.
ST. LOUIS has 81 churches, of which,

Vice-Presidents from New York.

The State of New York has furnish
ed six Vice-Presidents before Gen.
Arthur. Aaron Burr was Vice-Pres-
ident in Jefferson'S first term. A
studiouS lawyer, fluent in speech, and
fascinating in manner, he disting-

different was it with George Clinton,
who was Vice President for the eight
years previous to his death in 1913.
He had administered our State Govern
ment for twenty-one years with marked
ability. But he had grown old when he
succeeded Burr at Washington, and he
made heavy, clumsy presiding officer.
Daniel d. TompkiIs was Vice-Pres
ident throughout the Monroe era. He
had been q judge of the Supreme Court,
and was versed in parliamentary law,
in which his venerable predecessor
was deficient.

While thy flames are twisting, turning,
Ouench in me this curious yearning,

High above the primal world,
Thou, giant palm-tree, lifting
Thy proud head above the shifting
Of the storm-cloud's lightning hurled,
While the tropic sea. hot having,
Round thy roots its pillows curled.
Tell me, did the mammoth, straying
Near that mighty trunk of yours,
On the verdure stop and gaze,.
Which thy ample base displays,
Or his weary limbs down laying,
Sleep away the tardy hours?
Perchance some monster saurian, Siding,
Waddled up the neighboring strand
Or leapt into its native sea
With something of agility,
Though all ungainly on the land;
While near your roots, in blood-stained fray
Maybe two ichthyc beasts colliding,
Bit and fought their lives away.
Tell me, ancient palm corpse, was tnere
In that world of yours primevai,
Aught of men in perfect shape?
Was there good? and was there evil
Was there man or was it ape?
Tell me, lump of carbon, burning
Lurid in the glowing CRATE,
Lies there in each human face
Something of the monkeys trace?

While thy red flames rise and sink,
