WORSHIP.

Not where men congregate to talk of
God,
And thunder forth their dogmas IN
His name
But here. my heart, where shy dicen-
tras nod,
Here where the red buds flame.
Here where the wind, His spirit. whis-
pers low
And every word of mystery fulfills
In bud and bloom. in tender green and
glow
Growing the prophet hills.
Here where root, twig. and bough obey
His will,
And each leaf comes to it's appointed
place
And all the trees are waiting, reverent,
still
His never-faiiing grace.

WAR.


Ripp.es of ribbons borne on high,
Bloodstains upon a braZen sky;
From cannon belchinG on the plain,
Fire that by fire is fought again.
A flash where steel by steel is met:
a fume of smoke and blood and sweat,
Sharp from the smeared and trodden
gorse
The death cry of wounded horse.
Dust of a plain ground into red
BY armies of majestic dead.
Gaunt shadows on the changeless sky,
A flock of vuItures swarming nigh.
Mid ashes where a hearth has stood,
Children that cry aloud for food,
Where green the peaceful highways
run,
A woman ravished in the sun.
And far across the reeking 500
A Nation sounding thanks to- God

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Vice is often hilarious, but never
merry.
The futility of whining is a lesson
fate teaches all
The confding woman should study
the doctrine of selection.
The solitude of peopleless places ap-
peals to the thoughtful soul.
There was never a business so good
that it would survive neglect.
To be artistic is praiseworthy, but to
sacrifice comfort for it is folly.
y glance can convey more admira-
ton than an avalanche of words
Music may soothe the savage breast.
but verify discord maketh the gentle
savage.
1t requires great wisdom to determine
whether an abnormally silent person
be fool or philosopher.
Youth dreams of the victories of ma.
turity; the advantages of youth are
dwelt upon by maturity
The stern realities of life are NOT half
as devastating to the domestic ex.
chequer as the frivolities.
The heart-to-heart talks often re
solve themselves into back-to-back
talks as the years roll by.
