A LINCOLN MONTH.

A concerted effort is to be made during
the month of February by the order OF
the Sons of Veterans, in all the divisions
from Maine to California, to increase
the membership and influence OF the
order. The order is approaching the
Both year of it's existence, an age that IN
life generally denotes vigor, activity and
strength. The month of February has
been designated as Lincoln month by
COMMANDMENT Chief Bolton, when spe-
cial aids and the whole membership IN
common will make extra effort to secure
new members. A very little personal
effort on the part Of each member Will
mean, in the aggregate, magnificent
gain. In this connection the following
poem by John Kendrick Bangs in the
February Lippincott' is timely:
y L1NCoLN's BIRTHDAY.
A sacred day is this
A day to bless;
A day that leads to bliss
Through bitterness.
For on this day of days,
One wondrous morn,
In far off forest ways
Was Lincoln born!
Who supped the cup of tears,
Who ate the bread
Of sorrow and of fears,
Of war and dread;
Yet from this feast of woes,
His peoples pride,
A loved immortal rose
All glorifed!

CAST THY BREAD UPON THE WATERS

Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou
shalt find it after many days. Eccles. XII. l.
Cast thy bread upon the waters,
With this motto: In His name;
Scatter daily seeds of kindness,
Praise or censure, just the same.
Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Clouds or sunshine, snow or rain,
1t may cheer some weary brother,
Burdened down with grief or pain.
Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Raise the fallen, hear the cry
Of the sad and broken-hearted
While the days are going by.
Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Live for others, let some ray
Of sunshine gladden. all their pathway.
1t will return to you some day.
Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Read the promise, heed it, too.
You cannot give cup of water
But it will return to you.
Cast thy bread upon the waters,
1t will return to you some day,
When your heart all filled with sorrow,
Cries. 0 Father, hear me pray.
Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Work till night from early morn,
Strew the way with deeds of kindness,
Till the last bright day is gone.
Cast thy bread upon the waters,
All life's happy golden day,
Blissful hope Of rest eternal,
When the shadows flee away.
