He Is lovely Just TO look at.
With his thoughtful, dark brown eva,
His gentle face and shining curls;
But he isn't very wise.
Two birthdays he has counted.
Two dimples he can show:
Yet he's ignorant Of many things
That many babies know.
Though he talks In childish fashion.
He knows but pretty words.
And he says them in n voice as sweet
AS the cooling OF the birds.
He smiles at everybody,
But he hasn't learned TO fret:
And angry looks and angry pouts,
He doesn't know them yet.
Oh, everything contents him:
He has never learned TO tease.
And kicks and screams, he's unaware
There are such things as these.
But he's lovely Just 10 look at
And TO cuddle and TO pet,
For to wriggle out Of loving arms.
He hasn't learned IL yet.
oh. as at first l told you,
He isn't very wise;
Yet were we all as ignorant
Earth might be paradise.

ing's session of the worlds religious

utes duration, In which she congratu-

flavor. Rev. A. N. Idnados spoke upon
the mission OF Protestan tism in Turkey,

upon the message of Christianity to
other religions.
An address on the attitude of Christ
ianity to other religions was made by

University of Chicago, and Rev. John
Gnegner OF St. Paul discussed the prim-
tive and prospective religions reunion
of the human family. Before the usual
noon recess Kinxa Riege Hirai of Japan
touched briefly upon the question OF
Synthetic religion. An interesting ad-
dition was made to the programme for
the evening in the form of special
Buddhist congress. DR.. Alfred Mo-
merjie of London presided, and ad.
dresses were made by all the represen.
tatives of japanese, Ceylonese and
Siamese Buddhism in the city.
