Lily OOW Will It's pIOIIllSG unDTOken
Glitters still as it glittered of old.
Tho weary we grow in our watching
The weeks of the drought as they pass,
When the earth was as iron beneath us
And the heavens above us as brass,
Yet the showers return in their season,
Again in the land there is seen
The brook bri1nming over with chrysta1,
The grass as the emerald green.
Tho saddened the spirit within us
When the mist upon valley and plain
Lies thick, and the clouds in their armies
GReturn again, after the rain,
Yet the sun cometh forth as giant,
And after the tempest the morn
Is Cloud1ess and fair and the sunshine
Is golden and rich on the corn.
For seed-time and harvest we thank Thee,
Our fears like the shadows are fled,
Thou hast given his seed to the sower,
Thou hast given the eater his bread.
Many Congratulations.

Glimpse at His Work.
Father Durward came from the
seminary in Milwaukee thirty-fve
years ago and since then has been
actively engaged in the ever widen
ing religious field. He has accomp'
lished his desires and can well feel
that he had done a good work. The
church that has been erected is
credit to the city and a home fol
the congregation for long, long
time to come. Father Durward is
not only a priest but a traveller,
student of art and author as we'll.
Among his work will be found,
"a Primer for Converts" a book
of an instructive nature which We
learn has gone to a fourth edition
"Sonnets of the Holy Land, "being
the tale of the 1st organized Cath
