this prophecy:
Not in vigil lone and late,
Bowed upon the tropic sand,
But within the city gate
In the struggle Of the street.
Suddenly thine eyes shall meet
Him whose look is Holy Land

true to all the fine instincts and show

These lines from The Madonna are
worthy OF reproduction here:
Sweet maiden-mother. years have fed
Since the great painter dropped his brush
Left earth's loud praise for heavens kind

Yet mothers kneel before thee still,
Uplifting happy hearts; or. wild

VOID arms, for the ChrSt-Ove 10 fil.'
The heart of the writer is close to
nature, and herein is the best work. as

sonnet entitled At Sea, which are given
in full:
80 many ewes the sun must sink within
The westward plain of shoreless home

So many morns, as If from heaven to
Frem out the widening water in the east
The sun must rise SO many summer days
Fun in the face of the unveiled sky
The ship must float. till even the strongest
gull
Deserving, wheels to track land bound
So many days, Yet there shall come day
Some golden. holy August afternoon,
When, tired of sea at eve. and sea of morn.
The sun shall drop like contented child
And sleep among the grading hills OF
home
Who shall say that these are not fine
lines and deserve generous mention at
the critics hands?

consecrated bread and meat, and not
allowed to enter the holy places in the
temples. Woman is made the author
of sin, cursed in her maternity, subor-

thought in creation. 1t is very depress-
ing to read such sentiments emanating
from the brain of man. but to be told
that the good Lord said and did all the

Admitting that the present Bible is
hard upon woman, it only means that
the whole literature of the period was
hard upon her. The higher criticism
has long ago attended to the matter of
Interpreting the Scriptures by the side
lights Of contemporary affairs. Cannot
women bear her share of whatever is
untrue or only partly true in Old Tes-
lament teachings? Must the Bible be
made over every age of the world to
meet the local color in which events
appear? Who has ever made such
claim as this before? And who but
few females who have grown only on
one side, would ever be guilty of the
endless mischief that such "move-
ments'' as this one infiict upon their
cause, and literature itself? Must all
the great books of the world be made
over because their doctrines do not ac-
cord with our views of today? And
what Is to become of the Bible itself if
such piecing and mending be in order?
The more these women explain the sor-
rier is their plight.

his wife goodbye, as she was depart
ing upon long trip for her mothers

there reads like the dream it is. Such
a mess Of it he made that he actually
ran away to escape the mistakes and

And then he awoke in his own home,
just in season to welcome his wife as
she returned from her journey. 1t Is
