none of their occupants was killed or

THE Old HOME.

just the home it was of olden,
With its red rosebushes there,
Where the sunlight glinted golden,
And contentment filed the air
Jes' the same thatched roof a-coverin'
And the dear, old creaky STAIR
Jes' the same sweet mother hoverin'
Round us at our homely fare;
Jes' the same old pictures hangin
On the low and whitewashed wall ;
Jes the same church bell a-clangin
Out the last, sweet evening call
Jes' the same green fields right yonder,
Some with rustlin seas of wheat;
\ Jes the same good meadows-wonder
If the clover blooms smell sweet?
Jes the same clear brooklet runnin'
Where we dipped our sum- Drowned feet
Jes' the same old bees hummin'
Round whore blossoms family greet.
OF the old home 1 lie dreamin',
OF its comforts, of its love;
OF the sunlight that came streamin'
From dear faces now above.

IN MEMORY.
We loved our little Major dear
But angels loved him more,
They took him from this world of care
To dwell with us no more.
1t was SO hard to give him up
But Jesus knows the best,
We had to drink of the bitter cup
And lay our son to rest.
We laid him in his silent tomb
To await the Judgment day
Amid the sorrow and the gloom
We slowly went away.
Wen hear no more his welcome voice
Or see his smiling face,
With Him the angels now rejoice
In songs of Heavenly grace.
On the bosom of deaths dark river
cold
His little form is stilled,
A little seat at home we hold
That never can be filed.
Good by but not forever love
1 hope we will meet again
In that home of light above
Where white robed angels reign.

A Farm Bequeathed to the Devil.

a = AIN 4Nc1 ACdtAAc0 W shC 1Ch@ -
An atheist Finn some time
since beqneathed his farm "to
the Devil aud the courts of that
country have upheld the title.
According to the finding of the
judges, the land in question must
not be touched by any human
hands: it must be let alone, suf-
fered to revert to its native will
derness again.
But that awakens some Curl
GUS questionings. Why is it as
snmed that to leave things alone
Is to leave them to the bad? Why
it is held that way to convey
land to his satanic majesty is to
enjoin the plough and shut up
the harrow aud forbid the hoe?
Why do things go to the bad
when left to go their gait2
Is there anybody living who
would expect land thus abandons
ed to produce the finest of the
wheats " Everybody knows the
judge to be correct in his decision
that farm Abandoned to nature
is abandoned to noxious weeds
and venemous reptiles and ra-
venous wild beasts. But why is
this so if there be not a blight
resting upon the world? The
facts are so patent that nobody
who has attempted so much
horticulture as is involved in the
care of an onion-bed can deny
them, Was the Finnish Judge
correct in his decision that an
acre of land-or shall we say a |
boy or a girl left to the sure
possession of the Devil?
The old-fashioned doctrine of
''fall of man. seems to fit the
facts pretty well. Does any other
theory supply key?

In his annual sermon the
President declared that married
women ought not to work in
factories. A few days later he
directed that the making of
soldiers clothing, proposed by
the War Department to be done
by contract, be restored to the
poor woman who have been in
the habit of doing the work, as
'to hundreds of them that work
means bread and butter" A
large majority of these seam
stresses are married women. The
restoration to them of this work
will seem to most people to be
humane, but how can it be made
to harmonic with the position
taken in the message?
