The Pniful Battle Of Crceds.

'Tis said that the banner of peace is
Most often DER faiths and creeds.
And that fully one-half of the wars of
the world
Are neither for right nor needs,
But seem to make some small faction
seem right,
Or to help some sectarian cause
And ! think we must seem to the Faith
er Of Light
Like babies who fight over straws.
For what matters the faith which we
privately hold,
Or the heaven we specially crave,
When our brethren all round us are
hungry and cold.
With bodies and souls to save
And who will it trouble, life's Journey

We travelled in order to gain the same
If we carried the little ones" loads?
If we helped all our neighbors, en-
couraged the sad,
And tried to be faithful and good,
If we loved all the fallen made weary
hearts glad,
And did just the best that we could?
For the Master preached loving" not
valOr or might,
And ] think that his tender heart
bleeds
For his chilren. who leaving the bet

The Foundation Stone.

1t is all very well as you climb toward
TO look back through your toll as you
go,
But You should not forget midst Your
worry and fret,
That your fellows are living below.
And now just because you may happen
to dwell
For while in the uppermost row.
You need not opine nor your fancy in
cline
To the thought that it will always be
so.
In the workshop of life where we meas
ure our worth,
And where no one is judged all alone,
There's an axiom true, though regretfui
to you,
There's no building without base
stone.
You may see the tall spire with it's sky
reaching crest,
Ills the steeple. that first takes the
eye;
But as that stands for show there is
one thing YOU know,
The base stone keeps the steeple on
high.
And If you should not find your place
at the top,
Where the eyes Of all people may
You may still persevere and be Of good
cheer,
For your value cen greater may be.

EMPEROR WILLIAM AND NORWAY.

emperor William, in beginning his
summer cruise in northern waters this
year with ceremonious official visit
to King Haakon at Trondhjem, is per-
forming an act at once unique, note
worthy and significant. 1t would in
any case be an interesting incident. as
imperial and royal visits usually are.
and 1t would be the more SO because of
its being the first such visit ever paid
at the Norwegian court, at least in
modern times. But the special inter-
est with which it is invested from the
fact that it is direct reversal of the
hxed custom Of European court
etiquette.
The rule is for newly crowned SOW
ereign himself to visit the courts of
the other sovereigns and be received
by them before any of them visit
him. But in this case, before King
Haakon has had time to set out on even
a single visit, the German emperor
goes to visit him. Indeed, 1t was an
nOunced before King Haakon was
crowned that the emperor would do
30. that the necessity of staying at
home to receive his imperial guest
would have prevented the king from
going abroad had he been SO minded.
The incident is thus unique, and 1t
10 particularly noteworthy because it
is due to that sovereign who is sup
posed to be, and generally is, the great
est stickler for precedent and etiquette
and for his own dignified prerogatives.
Nor is It possible to regard the in

The man with hold upon the solid rock

The blossoms that expand for thee,

Where garden reeks perfume;
But bear thy red Tipped roses unto him
Whose life has known no bloom.
Nor shalt thou save thy sweetest strain
for ears
Song-surfeited and numb;
Crooned softly. let it soothe some
broken heart
Whose days have all been dumb.
And love-the tender chrism OF thy

Spend not where passion clogs,
But with it consecrate some lonely life
