had not prayed through all my years,
Deeming it idle breath;
For He must know our hopes and fears
Who orders birth and death.
But one thing lay upon my soul
With longing, day by day,
So, In the darkness of the night,
I knelt me down to pray.
II only ask one thing in life"
God gently said to me:
TITS that, alone, my little child,
That never more may be-
Goods gracious WILL I said TO Him,
His creatures must abide,
But tell me why 1t may not be;

1t seemed to me the great God smiled
And answered soft and low:
"'Tis that, alone, my little child.
You never more may know"
Since then. If I am moved to prayer,

For there is naught to say.
And yet. know my one poor prayer

Only that life is complete that learns
Something Of earthly bliss
The thrill of lovers kiss
And the pang Of a heart that throbs and yearns
The pleasure in pain of lvingi
The naughty pride that in yielding, spurns
And the triumph of taking and giving.
Only that life is complete that knows
Something of earthly grief
The frost on the autumn leaf,
The blight that withers the budding rose
And spares the thorn for our bruising,
The tickle friendship that comes and goes,
And the sorrow Of winning and losing.
Only complete is that life that feels
Something Of JOY and pain,
Something Of loss and gain
OF fear that trembles, OF faith that kneels-
Some light Of elusive to-morrows,
Though it beckon us on in vain. in vain,

brittleness thut makes them a charm

OF yet more value than the taste Is
the food value of Grape-Nuts. They

1t should not be understood that the
grape sugar, of which Grape-Nuts is
made, has been produced in the human
body. But this grape-sugar Is made by
much the same process as the body en-

by the Postum Co., at Battle Creek,
