conflicting emotions OF solitary man.
We would not have our harmony IN a
single harness We, too, love the stir
OF a stronuous life but we believe IN
equal stronuousnoes for all and special
IHtrenuousnoaa for none, We do not
derive our power from the seats of tho
mighty, but from the ROuls Of the hum

rather outburHts OF dissension Issuing

away TO sen the widening span
'twixt craft and land will set many a
llfeboat toward the shore. There is
much talk OF twisting terdons in the

A UNIVERSAL FEAR.
Somehow although the future wei
