AFTER NACAIlON.
We thank thee, Lord, for rest,
For starlit nights and summer days,
For sunset skies, and Natures ways
Whereby our souls were blest.
We praise thee, Lord, for strength,
The body's force, the spirits health.
The minds increase, the hearts new wealth
That crowned our rest at length.
Now give to US thy mind,
Thy insight clear, thy tireless love,
Thy humble mind, thy look above,
Thy touch SO strong and kind.
Then give us work. o Lord,
To feed thy flock, to SOW thy field,
To WELD thy arms, to bear faiths Shield
To teach thy living word.

He Cares For Us,

We are the portion the Lord takes
out of the hand of His enemy and ours,
and He cares for US as such. A love
that is everlasting, care that is liken-

Dear Aunt Madae:
May one who cannot claim to belong except
by proxy 10 your sisterhood venture TO offer a
criticism? / always read your column in The
AMERICAN with considerable interest, but was
somewhat disturbed at what found there last
week in regard to the meaning of the prefix pan
used in the term Pan-Americau.
IL is rather far FETCHED, is 1t not, to refer to
Greeian mythology To explain this single term2
How about the Pan-American congress held In
Washington some twenty years ago, and the
one to be held In Mexico next winter? Does
the Grecian god of shepherds influence that
name? Is II not rather congress of all
America? The Greek span" means all, and as
such appears in many English words; g. g.,
pantheism, panacea, panegyric, pandemonium,
and so forth.
IL was intended 10y the promoters that the
exposition at Buffalo should particularly ex-
hibit the products of the Western hemis phere
hence the choice of the name.
Pardon my presumption In Offering this critl-
cism; please let my interest In your column be
the apology If one is necessary. L.
1T is such pleasure to hear from SO
many nephews that Aunt Madge is quite
willing to be called to account for her de-
linquencies. Is it star fetched'', though,
to give the origin OF word? / do appre-
ciate your interest in the column, al ;"
and hope the ''Grecian god of shepherds
may influence" you to come again.

Dear W. b. Friends.
When / copied the above poem / wondered
how many of our readers had had any vacation
this year. and then came the thought that there
were some things mentioned In those lines tina;
we could all be thankful for with or without a
vacation.
"E2o's" sunset skies were In sense shared
by all our circle and so were Sister BIS "sum-
mer days., which she urged us to get out and
enjoy. but / did not know as Janet" would
assent to the statement of Natures ways in the
same stanza when l remembered how much
water was called for by her thirsty plants
But what pleasure 1t is to see the busy city
people enjoy a summer vacation. To many of
them 1t is the one breathing spell of the year;
and to those confined in stores, shops and offices
for the other fifty weeks, how much of natures
ways" must be crowded into two weeks of sum
mer outing that the remembrance of "starlit
nights" and "sunset skies" may brighten the
remainder of the year,
The second stanza brings out the result of
vacation time-strength, health, increase of
power and thought. Even one day of change
and rest may bring a lasting pleasure. And
then take up our work again, thankful that
there is place for us all among the worlds
workers.
