When Dreams Come True.

When the dreams you've been dreaming a life-
time
Begin some fine day TO come true,
And their substance takes on rare teauty
Undreamed till them even by you;
So sweet is the fruit OF your dreaming.
So rich IN all wonder it seems,
That you stand in happy amaZement
As IL stin in the country of dreams.
But the dreams that you've loved for lifetime
Will not in their joy he 'leniad:
IT'S they that have lived and breathing.
'Tis the things of the real that have died.
And the sweet skies snowy with angels.
And the world is all virginal new.
And you learn bliss greater than dreaming
When the dreams that you dreamed true.

BA8Y'S WAY.

Everything's in the baby's wav
Whenever she wants to run and nlsv.
It's either chair, table or door
Or clutter all over the playroom floor
When she starts to run, she gets brr,,
And we have to kiss her forehead nl,mn
And start her off with a smile to plav
And clear things cut of the baby's wav
Everything's in the baby's way,
she wants her do, and she wants her say.
She wants to do the things which are wrong
And her will each day it grows more strong.
And we try so gently to guide her right
Ana ask the Father of all for light;
But to her who wants her do and saw
Everything seems in the baby's way.
Everything's in the baby's way
From morning till night, so babies saw.
And so they are cross and fretful. too.
ana do the things they oughtn't to do,
ana their ways are not our ways at all,
ana so they must cry and scold and fall,
hut we turn hundred times day
AND smile because it is baby's ''wav."
