Deep in the heart of things
Is song that ever sings,
And by the eternal plan
There Is In the heart OF man
One rare chord, set there to be
An echo OF that harmony.
Blent OF singing of the birds
And of lowing OF the herds,
And the humming Of the bees,
Shouting of the seven seas
All sounds, be they harsh or sweet
Must in this song unCeasing meet.
Tumult in the city walls.
Mellowness OF country calls,
And the bugle's brazen notes,
Thunders from the cannon throats,
Children's laughter, foemen's cheers.
And the faint. sad drop of tears;
Yes, and tones OF marvel-grace
Thrummed across the field of space,
Wonder-music all sublime
Chanted by the stars that climb
By the faintest. farthest ones
And by the onward Willing suns.
so creations music blends
In a song that never ends:
Rustling grass and planets dim
Chorus in the primal hymn
So through all the years II rings
E Forever in the heart of things.
Times there are when you and
Hear 1t sweeping clear and high,
All unconscious that the sound
Is of neither mete nor bound.
Yet It may be It IL planned
That some day we may understand

If brevity is the soul of wit, one Of
the wittiest speeches on record was
made by a woman. Mrs. Briggs lived
in the northern part of Indiana, long
distance from any village. Hearing
that the Rev. Mr.. Goodwin was to
preach In a township some twenty
miles distant, she resolved to be pres
ent, and as no other way offered, she
walked the twenty miles.
The pastor heard of this, and was
so pleased at the appreciation which
it showed that at the close of the ser
mon he mentioned the fact to the con.
gregation, and called upon Mrs. Briggs
to tell them how she came.
Rising slowly, she looked over the
audience with great solemnity. and
said:
