His Mother,

His Mother.
A sodden image of a man,
He lurches slowly down the street,
Unconscious of the scornful scan
OF all those he may meet
A wreck. an outcast, hopeless. lost,
A drifting hulk that seeks no shore,
But billow- borne and tempest tossed
Will drift and drift forevermore.
And yet somewhere each morn and
night
His name is whispered soft and low
In prayers that rise to the lisht.
That shines with an eternal glow;
His name is whispered as of old
BY one to whom he still is dear
His mother with her heart of gold
Breathes forth prayer God will
hear.
Though lost to her through all these
years.
He still remains her little boy
That ran to her with childish fears
Or brought to her each broken toy:
She has not seen his mottled face
Nor heard his husky whining tone
She breathes his name to that white
place
Where angels kneel about the throne.
That mother heart is deep, so deep
That none Of us may know how long
Nor yet how surely it will keep
The love it has all sweet and strong:
Each morn, and night she breathes his
In blessings we may think unhea,rd-
She does not know the ways Of shame
Down which he looks with eyes all
blurred.
A sodden image of a man,
A wreck. an outcast-but can we
Sense aught of the eternal plan
Know aught of this great u,ystervY
She breathes her prayers night and
dawn,
And which among US would DESTROY
Her fancies of the days agone,
Her blind faith in her little bowl"

When shadows gloom the hours,
Keep your nerve.
When fortune jeers and taunts you.
Be sure that nothing daunts you
Keep your nerve.

When scores are long to settle
Keep your nerve.

From sheavcs that fate is binding,
The srist the gods are minding-
Keep your nerve.

Don't ever be gutter.
Keep your nerve.
When the fights against you going,
Muscle up-n1ake good your showing,
Till triumph sets you glowing
Keep your nerve.
BE smiling, hearty, ready,
And responsible and steady
Keep your nerve.
There is JOY in self-reliance,
There is glory in defiance,
Self-mastery is science

Go answer all LIES questions,
Make fate some new suggestions
Keep your nerve.
Work out your own salvation
In your day and generation,
Pick out and hold your station

The members Of the City bowling

decided TO discontinue the playing of

reason for this action was that the
Hunts team was so far in the lead that
no other team could Oyertake 1t and
as consequence there was no inter

awarded all the hOnOrs Of the race up
OF this time and that schedule became
