HOPE FOR ALL.


Oh, yet we trust that somehow good
VIII be the final goal of i'll.
To pangs of nature, sins of will.
Defects of doubt, and taints of blood:
That nothing walks, with aimless feet
That not one life shall be DESTROYED.
Or cast as rubbish TO the void,
When God hath made the pile COM
plete;
That not worm is cloven in vain:
That not moth with vain desire
Is shrfvalled in a fruitless fire,
Or bat subserves another's gain.
Behold. we knox not anything:
l can but trust that good shall fall
AT last-far off-at last, to all,
And every winter change to spring.
So runs my dream; but what am /?
An infant crying in the night:
An infant crying for the light
And with no language but a cry.
The wish, that of the living whole
No life may fail beyond the grave
Derives II not from what we have
The likest God within the soul?
Are God and Nature then at strife. /.
That Nature leads such evil dreams?
So careful Of the type she seems,
So careless Of the single life;
That |, considering everywhere
Her secret meaning in her deeds,
And finding that of fifty seeds
She often brings but one to bear
l falter where ] firmly trod,
And falling with my weight of cares
Upon the great worlds altar-stairs
That slope through darkness up to God.
1 stretch lame hands of faith, and
grope,
And gather dust and chaff, and call
To what j feel is Lord of all,
And family trusts the larger hope.

BLINDNESS oE coNcEIr.

Ever notice the density of con-
ceited person?" asked a business man.
ITO me, that's the most striking thing
about such an individual. Maybe he
has some qualities that justify his good
opinion of himself, and maybe not; he's
dense. just the same, and the proof of
it is that he doesn't realize how he i'm
presses his associates unpleasantly. If
the average conceited man had the
least idea of the handicap under which
he is laboring he'd shed it mighty
quick. But he hasn't, and it's impos-
sible to drill it into him. He's the mod
ern human ostrich with his head stuck
into the sand. so far as any recognition
of his disagreeable trait is concerned.

Nor canst thou prove the world thou

Thou canst not prove that thou art

Thou canst not prove thou art immor-

Nor yet that thou art mortal-nay. nv

Thou canst not prove that I. who
speak with thee,
Am not thyself in converse with thy

For nothing worthy proving can be
proven,
Nor yet disproven; wherefore. be thou

And cling to faith beyond the forms of
faith;

She brightens at the clash of "Yes,

She tastes the fruit before the bios.

remarked, and went on to explain that
he had found an empty library in a
house which he had purchased in Ken

the volumes should be handsome.
The bookseller suggested that half
should be bound in Russia and half in
Morocco.
What on earth's to hinder you from
having the lot bound in London?" was
the unexpected response.

JOY to the toiler-him that tills
The fields with plenty crowned:
Him with the woodmans ak that
thrills
The wilderness profound:
Him that all day doth sweating bend
In the fierce furnace heat.
And her whose cunning fingers tend
On loom and spindle fleet.
A prayer more than the prayer of saint,
A faith no fate can foil.
Lives in the heart that shall not faint
In time long task of toll.

talking on La Savoie about the Lon

"A hanson or four-wheeler is sup.

Morton said, but let the average
American tourist go driving about in
one of them day after day, and at
the weeks end the size of his expendi-

"Of course, it is impossible to ride
in a London cab and pay only the legal
fare of a shilling for two miles Try
cab-riding without liberal tipping, and
the cGbmen will assail you with the
most brilliant and witty sarcasm.
II know a lawyer who, through ig-

to the Ritz hotel in Piccadilly. and only
gave his driver the shilling required
by law.

and bit his lip. Then. in the most cour-

ebb is sure to come to every one of

Years of happiness do not tighten the
crushing blow of death. A world of
warmest sunshine does not recompense
a pain racked body. A lifelong faith
Is often Of no avail against souls de-

CURE BY CUT|CURA AT C|TY MISSION
Young Woman Found in Awful Con-
 dition with Scabies Body a Mass of Sores from Scratching Tried
 Many Remedies for Seven Weeks Result Was Discouraging, But
ITCHING TORTURES
 YIELDED TO CUTICURA

"While was doing missionary work in the lower portion of several cities found it necessary to know a little of the efficacy of a few medicines and after while 1 found that a little knowl- edge of Cuticura was about all 1 needed. One of the very bad cases l had to deal with was that of a young woman who had come to us not only broken in spirit but in a most awful condition physically. Our doctor examined her and told us that she had scabies (the itch), incipient paresis, rheumatism, etc, brought on from exposure and the effects of her ragged-edged life. Her poor body was a mass of sores from scratching and she was not able to retain solid food. We tried many things, a good tonic was prescribed and baths with a rubbing of lard and sulphur. We worked hard for seven weeks and you can imagine how discouraged we were when. after all that time. We could see so little improvement. One day l hap pened to see a Cuticura advertisement telling how a little baby had been cured of a bad case of skin eruption, and although I had but ninety-seven cents with me. I bought cake of Cuti- clra Soap and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. When l reached home l was like child with a new toy, and we bathed our patient well and gave her full dose of the Resolvent. She slept that night better than she had since she had been with us and the next day I located the price of box of Cuticura Ointment. l am not exaggerating when I say that in exactly five weeks this young woman was able to look for a position, being strong enough to work and full of ambition. In another month she left the home. and now has a good position in a nice family where she is respected and is strong and well. You may refer any one you wish to me, personally.

quent children and their parents as well. The authorities are determined that nothing but sickness and death shall stand in the way of a child of school age and an education. If the parents are unable to provide books and clothing it will be seen that they are provided. The books may be fur nished if necessary out of the public fupds. and the sympathies of charit- able people will be worked upon for supplies of clothing.
 At some of the schools there are small stocks of clothing, that is, sec ond hand clothing, but more is desir- ed and an appeal made for more; for at least thirty children. It may be left at the offices of Miss Gilchrist of the Associated Charities at 119 West Ad- ans street or at the Salvation Army barracks.
 The truant officer finds many strange reasons why children are not at school. He discovered in one Mex ican family yesterday a houseful of children of school age and when he spoke to the father about it he said that they were at home with the ap- pIONdi Ol lIlt ttsiCItT I lle OlIiCtT ulu not believe it and desired document ary proof. The father triumphantly produced paper signed by the princi- pal of one of the schools. setting forth in detail that information had been furnished that there was daily and hourly expectation of an addition to the family and that the services of the eldest child, girl of thirteen, were required at home.
 The officer pointed out that this was not blanket privilege for the rest of the brood to stay away from school; that however important and interesting the expected event, the school authorities could not contem- plate that the presence at home of the half dozen other children. ranging from six to eleven years of age. was an actual necessity.
