Night was facing into day.
The stars were asleep in the dawn
And over the sea and far away.
Came the flaming torch of morn.
As hope comes to tired heart
With promise OF warmth and light
Like night and day before they part,
The world OF beauty in your sight
Take 10 your heart the dawn Of day.
The promise since the world began:
You live again and tomorrow may
Hear the sweetest songs of Pan.

WHAT ARE sHADOWst

What are the shadows that fall to earth.
Prayers that fail at the throne Of God.
And hopes that are lost in the gloomo
Or the death OF faith and death of m,,th
In the love that dies too soon:
Has courage been poorly shod?
Life at best Is fun Of these.
Like husks where the grain has been;
IT needs but relief and YOU know the test
That life is in the shcaves;
And IN that life and deep within
The truth is best

was run over by a 3.700-pound load
of tomatoes, driven by his father,
and died three hours later. The
boy was running across the road and,
getting a sand burr in his foot. sat
down to take the burr out. Mr..
Carrick, who thought the child had
run along, turned to see whether a
box of tomatoes which he had not
tied was staying on the wagon, which
was going down steep hill. When
he turned to his horses he saw the
boy under the front wheel The
wheel passed over the body of the
child before the wagon could be
stopped.
