o thou Creator-great first cause
That in each atom dweils
Animate or inanimate
In this or yonder worlds:
Spirit or body
Seen or unseen--the same;
Mortal or immortal
Thou art immortal still;
Or hopes or fears
Or life or death
Can never change thy journey
Thy journey toward thy God!
In whom all atoms
Find their proper sphere
When dust returns 10 dust
Again returns TO life!
God over all
Man TO man
AS Christ TO US
AS man TO God
As dust TO dust
Eternal. everywhere.
As to the pole
The unerring needle point,
Or love. or hate.
Or petty selishness-
All blend in One.
And love fulhlls the law.
HENRY 7. BUFFINGTON.

In spring a young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts OF love" How strong
Ily these beautiful words Of Tennyson
impress themselves upon as at this sea-
son of the year! They transfer our
thoughts from the hard, cold world of
facts to the green fields OF ever-growing
love. They instill ambition in our hearts
and give US desire TO attain an eminent
place In the affairs Of men. Not only
does our sweetheart continue TO grow in
our affections. but our love for our fell
bowman and God increases accordingly,
Everything gives way 10 love. There is
no obstacle that love cannot overcome.
Love may appear in very different forms.
however. One may be actuated by love
OF country to defend his native land
against invasion by foreign foe or he
may be moved by love for his sweetheart
TO aspire 70 name and fame. In either
case he is a better citizen.
Let us optimists penetrate the borders
OF love. Let US find some one in whom
We may conide the troubles and trials
Of life. In brief. let our lives be enriched
and our hearts made warm by the fervor
Of heavenly love. THOMAS F. NOLAN.
Georgetown College
Nay. let me then believe in all
The blended false and true
The semblance Of the old love
And the substance of the new.
The then of changeless sunny days.
The now Of shower and shine
But love forever smiling
AS that old sweetheart of mine
When should be her lover
Forever and d day.
And she my faithful sweetheart
Till the golden hair was gray;
And we should be so happy
That when others life were dumb
They would not smile In heaven
Till the others kiss had come.
Mrs. F. D. ROACH

Love is the only fire against which
there IS no insurance.

He that loveth not knoweth not God;
for God is love.-I John, Tvs.
Mrs W. F. HALLECK.
e55 Maryland avenue northeast.
There are many kinds of love, as many
kinds of light,
And every kind Of love makes a glory in
the night
There is love that stirs the heart and
love that gives 1t rest,
But the love that leads life upward is
the noblest and the best.
Henry Van Dyke.
NJ. HOWARTH.
100 street northwest,
There is many a gem in the path of life
Which we pass in our idle pleasure
That is richer far than the jeweled crown
Or the miser's boarded treasure.
1t may be the love Of little child
Or a mothers prayer to heaven,
Or only a beggar's grateful thanks
For cup of water given"
Love is the hearts perpetual summer,
redeeming its weakness, clothing its bar
.renness, enriching its poverty, and max
ing its desolate places to bud and bloom
as the rose. Mrs. L. B. CHAMBERLAIN.
The stanhope.
Let no one say that there is need
Or time for love to grow.
All. no. The love that kills indeed
Dispatches at a blow
The love that, though by slow degrees.
Is nursed into s. flame,
Is habit. friendship. what you will.
But love is not its name"
LAURA V. ALLEN.
Arlington. Va.
Our friendships in the absence of love
hurry to short and poor conclusions be-
cause we have made them texture of
wine and dreams instead of the tough
fiber of the human heart. Love, which is
the essence of God. is not for levity, but
for the total worth of man. We have
