Babyland.
LAVE you heard O Valley of Babyand
! The realm where the dear little darlings stay,
Till kind storks CO. all men know,
And oh, tendery bring them away?
The paths winding and past all finding,
save understand
gates the highways and intricate byways
That lead to Babyand
All the Valley of Babyland
Sweet flowers bloom in the soft green moss;
fair, under the plants there,
little heads like spoos of floss
With soothing number the river of Slumber
a bedway of silver sand;
angels keeping watch DER the sleeping
Babes of Babyland.
The path to Valley of Babyland
Only kingy kind storks know;
they fly mountains, through fountains,
No them
But angel maybe who guards some baby
fairy, perhaps with her magic wand
Brings them Straightway the wonderful gateway
leads Babyland.
And there is the valley of Babylahd,
Under MOSES and leaves and ferns
Like uniedged starting, they find the darling
For whom the heart of a mother yearns;
they lift him lightly, and snug him tightly
In feathers soft ladys hand;
And off with rockaway step they walk away
Out of Babyland.
AS they go from the Valley of Babyland,
Forth into the world of great unrest,
Sometimes in weeping he wakes from sleeping
Before he reaches the mothers breast
Ah bleSses him, how she caresSes him.
Bonniest bright home band

Perhaps the most startling revela-

was that in the midst of the starving
millions is an abundance of grain and
foodstuffs, bat it is controlled by a
comparatively small class of mer-

prohibitive prices.
'sThere is plenty of wheat in India

Wheat Plenty In India.

Rev. julius Smith, who went as
missionary to India ten years ago from
the Arlington Methodist church OF
Kansas City, addressed the morning
and evening congregations at the In
dependence Avenue church Sunday.
Mr.. Smith has had charge of the dis
trict of Burmah in which are 100
missionaries of all denominations.
The famine and what the mission
aries have done to alleviate the suffer
ing in the famine district, were the
most interesting topics touched on by
Mr.. Smith. He said that go, 600, 600
people out of 800, 900, 600 population
had been on the verge Of starvation
for nearly four years, but that good
rains had come and more prosperour
times so that the end of the famine
appeared now to be in sight. Mr.
Saith has no blame FOR tie British
government which controls India,
