Yon that have seen how the world and It's glory
Change and grow old like the love OF u friend;
you thai have come to the end OF the story,
Non that were tired ere you came to the end;
you that are weary OF laughter and sorrow.
Pain and pleasure labor and sin,
SICK OF the midnight and dreading the morrow,
All come in; come In.
You that are bearing the load Of the ages;
You that have loved overmuch and too late;
You that confufe all the saws OF the sages;
You that served only because you must waif,
Knowing your work was a wasted endeavor;
You that have lost and yet friumphed therein,
Add loss to your losses aud triumph forever;
All, come In; come In.

Wind, oh, wind of the South,
Fresh and sweet as lilies,
Where the lake 30 still Is,
Kiss thou once my mouth.
Wind, oh, wind Of the North,
Dreary and waste thy wake
All, for the women's sake,
What Of the ships gone forth:
Wind, oh, wind of the East,
Gray and harsh thy face,
And thy salt rains race
Like winter SHOWS released.
Wind, oh, wind of the West,
Iulling to dreams the sun,
When Earth's long day 10 done,
Watt me a rose Of rest.

EPWORTH LEAGUE NOTES.

The subject of the lesson for Sunday,
February II is Christ, a Servant, and We
Are Servants Phil. ii:3-1D. Paul. in writ
ing to the Philippians, says: Let this
mind be in you which was also in Christ
Jesus
This mind to which he has reference is
Chrst's attitude of service. God required
of Christ, His only begotten Son, the great
est service that the world has known. For
this service God gave Him "a name which
is above every other name; that at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
things in heaven and things in earth and
things under the EARTH
No other man was required to render
such service. but each individual has the
opportunities given and is expected to rem
der service to his Creator, and in proportion
to the service rendered and it's self-forget-
fulness God gives the recompense on earth
and in heaven.

WE'RE AFRAID OF BATH TUB.

Awful Possibilities,

Continuance Was Convenient, but Had
Awful Possibilities.
It would seem that the Harlem fat
architect has at last reached the limit
Of space economy.
On their return from the country
two women of moderate means set out
in quest of an apartment which should
combine the maximum of respectable
ity with the minimum of rent. They
found this a discouraging business.
They were frowned upon by janitors
and snubbed by bellboys. They tTav-
eled up and down miles of stairway.
They inspected six-room -and-bath
suites by the dozen, but found nothing
to suit both their tastes and their
pocketbooks. All the apartments they
saw were either cheap and nasty or
desirable and dear.
But when finally they reached an
imposing yellow brick edifice with
plate glass doors and mo. Die halls,
and a rent that made them raise their
eyebrows in surprise, they seemed to
have found at last the combination
they sought.
You'll find there's a reason" said
the younger woman.
But there didn't seem to be. The
rooms were light and pleasant; there
was a gas range and hot water sup
ply.
But where is the bath?" they
asked.
For answer the janitor turned to a
panel in the back parlor and pressed
button. The panel slid back and dis.
closed-a bath tub!
The women looked at each other.
"Would your" asked one.
But a caller might inadvertently
touch the button" said the other.
This suggestion settled it, and they
are still fiat hunting.

gether in our childhood. Many a mess
of brook trout, perch and horned pout

turned to Shute to back me up. I
turned a little timidly, though, for
Shute was, as a rule, truthful boy.

Vandalism.

Some of the school " boys
through thoughtlessuess or pure
cussedness have knocked down
and destroyed the street signs
at the corners of Main aud
Second Streets, Main and Third
and Main and Court Streets.
First, the signs were placed
there by the city for the con-
venience of strangers; second,
they Icost money, and if they
had not have been needed they
they are porcelain-would
not have been placed there.
Then there are boys who go
over town throwing rocks in to
yards, at the windows or chick
ems. Some use the sling. shot
which is placed under ban by
the city ordinances. If it is
thoughtlessness, stop right no W
or you will get into trouble.
Boys looking for trouble will
sooner or later find it.

The custom of marrying girls when
they are mere children of nine or ten

forbidding the marriage of girls under
fourteen.

Cardinal Gibbons on Divorce.

The head of the Catholic Church in
this country does not mince matters
in his essay on Pure Womanhood in
the September Cosmopolitan. 1t is
astonishingly emphatic, and his dis
cussion of woman's responsibility in
the home, and the divorce question,
is recommended to every woman in
the country no matter what her felig-
ious creed. 1t is certainly one of the
most stimulating utterances relating
to the home sphere that have appear
ed in long time.
