The aboriginal Of Australia is an
expert in dodging missiles. The
quickness of his eye and the accur-
acy CT his Judgment are wonderful,

of limb and muscle.

half an hour - a target for cricket
balls thrown with great force at a
distance of ten or fifteen yards, by
professional bowlers and successfully
dodge them or parry them with his
shield.
The shield was no broader than a
stovepipe, and about the length of a

erly placed would have killed him.
Yet he lodged them all with the ut
most self possession, depending on
the quicllness of his eye and his agil-

Life and Death.

So he died for his faith. That is fine
More than most of us do.
But stayl Can you add to that line
That he lived for it. too?
1t is easy to die Men have died
For a wish or a within
From bravado or passion or pride,
Was it hard for him?
But to live: every day to live out
All the truth that he dreamt,
While his friends met his conduct with
doubt
And the world with contempt
Was it thus that he plodded ahead.
Never turning aside?
Then wen talk of the life that he led
Never mind .ioT he died.
