There is a feeling here, caused largely by
quiet hints from prominent men. that IS
soon as the President gets his message OF

appointments made.
The recent elections have largely caused
a number of republican congressman, who

Secretary Window has at last succeeded
in finding a man whom he thinks suited to

That Senator Allison escaped the demo

For his precious silver snd gold were there
In the midst Of the glowing blaze.
For well he knew his golden ore
Was mixed with base alloy.
That only the furnace could purify
And the fire its dro.. destroy.
He watched the molten ore until
He SAW 1t growing clearer.

As in polished mirror.
Then hsppy thought that she who suffered
With mecknes- and patience isre,
More precious 10 her Redeemer was
Than ''sold Of ophir' fair.
And because she wss so dear to God,

He led her through the furr ace heat
OF anguish all untold.
Then ask not why she suffered thus.
For God the good must try.
