North Dakota thirty years ago and
had charge Of the Fargo parish for a
numbsr Of years, coming to Mandan
in 1891. During his thirty years in the
state he has witnessed many changes,
and during the transition period from
sparsely settled frontier territory to
a populous and wealthy state. He has
always been first in the ranks of those
who believed in North Dakota. With
the development of the state he has
also witnessed the growth of his church

With THE POETS

The Battlefield.
A mothers heart is battlefield,
A mothers heart is a nest
Where love leans down with snowy
shield
And lips that sung to rest.
A mothers heart is the plain where
Through all her days of life
The legions Of the childhood feet,
The glittering ghosts OF strife.
Where none may know, may see,
The wounds that bleed, the guns that
roar,
The anguished hours that be,
A mothers heart is a battles home.
But, oh, so few have knelt
With her where shadows fill the gloan,
Have felt what she has fslt!
A mothers heart is warfare's realm.
In 1t, unseen Of time,
Rage the grim wars that overwhelm
But for her faith sublime.
A mothers heart is where she hides
So much she never tells,
So much that in her soul abides
And conqueriaS .lovehood quells.
A mothers hsart-oh, sacred place,
oh, tempted fame, how fair
To kneel beside its shrine Of grace.
To kneel and worship there!
A. mothers heart is calm retreat
Is rest and love and song,
And round 1t, oh, how tender-sweet
The shades Of memory throns!
A mothers heart has seen so much.
Has felt and borne and known
The rugged blow. the tender touch,
Within its wandering zone!
Has borne so much for those that lsan
Upon it's help and trust,
Has done 80 much to keep them clean,
To lift them from the dust.
A mothers heart is a battlefield
Where sacred strife has been,
Where spear on spear and shield on
shield
Hath ragged the battles din!
2
o holy shrine, inviolate spot,
Where love and memory come
When all the rest of life's forgot.
When all the rest is dumb!

gine bell he had started to drive his
rig across the company's track when
a shunted box car, Of said company
crashed into his outfit, causing the
death of the horse, loss Of the wagon
and minor injuries to himself. After
the prosecution had closed its side of
the case, the company's lawyer called
the old darky to the stand and went at
him.
"Mr. Lamson," he began. "your rig
was struck by the box car in full day

Mother Love.

Mother Love.
Take the glory of the conquest and
the grandeur Of the morn,
The splendor of the triumphs oxt Of
toll and patience born,
The beauty Of the cities and the armies
Of the just
Moving down the golden valleys to the
victories Of the dust
But the ,nother-love that wraps around
a wayward child its wings
Is sweeter than all triumph and is
stronger than all kings!
The mother-love is patience bearing
all the years Of care.
With faith to take the burden up;
with strength to lift and bear:
The mother-love is warder Of the rosy
satesstof life.
With kiss good-by to little ones who
go to face: the strife, a."
And arms of old endurance waiting
there to clasp and greet
The loved who wandered back again,
s's' the lost with weary feat!
The mother-lovs is gentleness that
insilows through the years,
With lips to kiss the brow that aches
and song to stay the tears:
The naother-love is tireless in the vigil
that it keeps . -
To guard the sopeh 3 from danger where
the bloom of lovehood sleeps!
Oh, wayward. weak and weary, and ye
who walk in sin.
Be sure the heart of mother-love will
ope and let you in!

Our Dearly Beloved,


They are ours by right Of kinship.
They are ours by many claims,
They are ours because we loved them
And have breathed to God their
names. J.,
Can it be that now we slight them?
Is it true that we forget? %
No! impossible to think of it.
For we love, and miss them. yet!
Yes. we miss, perhaps, mother,
Who oft soothed our aching brow,
We would give the world to have her
With her words of comfort now;
Or, it may be that father
Who was Ger our friend and guide,
Whose example was our lnainspring,
Is no longer by our side.
Or sister or a brother,
Or. perhaps. loved one dear,
Who was more to us than either,
At our call no more is near.
Can it be that we ara careless?
Can it be that we forget?
No, in life they were our glory,
And our hearts are with them yet!
God OF Justice and Of Mercy,
They are ours as we'll as Thine.
Grant them pardon for their errors.
Let Thy light upon them shine.
Let our pray'rs, though so unworthy.
Be not offered Thee in vain.
May we all be reunited
In Thy Sacred Heart again!
