THE LARGER LIFE.

A noble craft with Heaven-made helm
And faiths true compass, conquering the
gale.
A skein of silken threads combined and
tied
In truths strong knot which stress and
strain defed.
A cluster of bright blossoms, types Of
love,
waiting sweet incense unto God above.
A splendid drama in which each event
Sees evil ouenched by calmness and con-
tent.
deep heart-chorus of ecstatic song
Which Heaven approves and golden harps
prolong.
sunlit path from cradle unto grave,
Made glad by deeds of kindness good and
brave.
book whose pages beauteous stories
bear,
Sealed by Gods signet plainly printed
there.
A body cared for we'll in dearth or dole,
because the casket for a deathless soul.
A living fact in which each passing
breath
Proclaims some triumph over i'll and
death.
The old, old story. sweeter because years
Have so oft reproduced its tolls and tears.
Ruler of earth, whose scepter Is the rod
Jeweled with Joy and sanctified by God.
A creature ruling well the sea and land,
Diyinely crowned by Gods direct COM
mand.
The noblest, greatest thing through calm
or strife,
A God-Civen. consecrated, noble life.

Rule. for the Freshmen.

The sophomores at Columbia college
have put forth rules for the guidance
of the freshman class. There are to
be 'No girls, no canes, no pipes, no
golf hreeches, no hand in pockets, no
sporty socks, no turned-up trousers.
no soft hats, no sitting on benches OF
campus" The freshmen are further
required to pay general respect to the
'sophs." Loud-mouthed freshmen are
to be dealt with summarily.
