Monastery Bells
By ALFRED AUSTIN
Poet Laureate Of England

Sometimes when weary, the sad soul rebels
Against the strife and discord all around,
One seems to catch the faint and far-off sound
Of melody that softly sinks and swells.
1t is the sound of Monastery Bells
In solitudes by sanctuary crowned
From meditation peaceful and profound
Calling grave Friars to prayer from silent cells.
Then yeaningly one Graves to have release
From the worlds rivalries and worthless prize,
To find some spot where Glory's selfish signs
And struggles endless tribulations cease,
To join in vesper's chant sunset dies,
And pass LIES evening In monastic peace.
But when resound as day dawns dim and drear
Meanings of anguish sobbings Of distress,
From heartless homes Of furnished loneliness
With none to rescue nothing to revere,
Again one feels one still is wanted here,
To aid, admOnish comfort and caress
Smooth the hard pillow paIlid sufferers press,
Stanch the fresh wound, and wipe away the tear.
So, tho one longs ever to depart,
And to gross sounds and sighs live deaf and blind
SoTowing one stays with sorrow, still resigned
To work, unhired, amid life's hreing mart,
To cherish in the crowd mOnastic mind,
And in a world profane a clustered heart.

His Class for Neglecting
the Holy Book.

NEW YORK, March 4.-John d.
Rockefeller, jr., rebuked the members Of
his Bible class yesterday because they
did not devote more time 20 the read
ing Of the Bible. He said: There was
never a time when the reading OF the
Bible was more necessary than now. In
tracing the story Of the Jewish people
we find that King Josiah, in having the
Temple Baal demolished, found the laws
Of Moses which had been hidden by the
former kings for years. The finding OF
the precious book was of great value to
the people. The king ordered the masses
10 assemble in the temple and he read

"You can find the book today more
easily than fl was found in Olden days.

rests practically undisturbed. There are

FRANCIS MURPHY
WRITES OF THAWS
WAS PERSONAL FRIEND OF
PITTSBURG FAMILY
Tells Of Charity Of Mother and Father,
and says All Who Know Them
Pray for Harry's De-
llverance

Since the Thaw case was first brought
to public attention one of those most
interested in It's outcome has been
Francis Murphy, the temperance adVo-
cate of Los Angeles.
Mr.. Murphy was a personal friend OF
the mother and father of Harry K.
Thaw, and they contributed much to
the support of his temperance work IN
Pittsburg before coming to Los Ange-
les. He writes the following concerning
the case:
NV heart is grieved moro than words
can tell for the unspeakable sorrow that
has come to my dear friends, William
Thaw and his gracious wife, who are
loved and honored all over this great
land of ours. They are among my
dearest friends. They have helped IN
every good work with their means and
their personal influence generously. 1
think / am justified in saying that the
Thaw family was one of the most IN
fluential in the city of Pittsburg, and
all their influence was to promote the
welfare of all the people. 1t is difficult
for one to understand why such good
people should be overtaken with such
great sorrow. 1 know this family well.
Ijnever did know anything of them but
what was good and true, noble and
generous.
II lived in Pittsburg for twenty-five
years. William Thaw and his good wife
were among the most hearty and gen.
erous supporters of the work 1 did in
that city. He has to my knowledge sent
many unfortunate young men and
women home at his own expense. He
was a man Of the most Christlike SYM
pathy, kindness and mercy. No matter
how unfortunate the person had been,
he never turned his back upon them.
He always had mercy, loving mercy
Ax,I1 H., nd
again, Brother Murphy, when you find
a destitute boy or girl in this city let
me know, beg of you, and I will send
them home to their parents"
Mrs. Thaw Charitable
Mrs. Thaw, a noble, gracious, loving
mother, as the world knows today she
is, has carried out her husbands wishes
in distributing their wealth to relieve
the want and suffering of the poor and
needy. No matter what may have been
the feelings of some people regarding
her son and his great misfortune, there
has been only one feeling toward his
blessed mother, and that is a feeling
Of the tenderest and strongest love and
reverence for her. Her testimony given
in behalf of her son has shaken the CIV
ilized world. 1t changed the tone and
spirit of Mr.. Jerome. Her presence
thrilled the great audience that was
present when Mr.. Delmas steadied her
faltering step to the witness stand and
began to speak. Mr.. Jerome changed
wonderfully. A strange hush pervaded
the court room. 1t is stated that Mr..
Jerome's eyes were not dry, that he
spoke with such gentle voice and with
such respect and reverence that he has
made grateful friends for himself that
will never be forgotten for his gentle
manly consideration of this noble moth
er. It is also stated that Judge Fitz-
gerald, the presiding judge who has
conducted the case with such dignity
