THE TRUE ARIsroCRAT.

Who are the nobles of the earth, The true aristocrats, Who need not bow their heads to lords, Nor doff to kings their hatsf Who are they but the men of toll. The mighty and the free, Whose hearts and hands subdue the
 earth, And compass all the sea7 Who are they but men of toii Who cleave the forests down. And plant amid the wilderness, The hamlet and the town Who light the battles, bear the scars, And give the world Rs crown. Of name and fame and history, And pomp of old renown? These claim no gaud of heraldry And scorn the knighting rod; Their coat of arms are noble deeds Their peerage is from Godi They take not from ancestral graves The glory of their name. But win. as once their fathers won. The laurel wreath of fame.

POETRY
WHERE IS CHRIST FouNDf

 How will Christ come back again, How will he be seen, and when Where his chosen way? Will he come at dead of night, Shining in his robes of light Or at dawn of day When the bells are all a-chima That he is reborn? or will he return to bring Wide and wondrous wakentng On some Easter morn3 When will this sad world rejoleA Listening to that golden voice Speaking uneo men? Lives there one who yet shall cry Loud to startled passersby: Christ has come again?" List the answer-Christ is herei Seek and you will find him near, Dwelling on the earth By the worlds awakening thought This great miracle Is wrought This, the second birth. Christ shall come-behold him now. Patient, loving meek, Looking from your neighbor's eyes, Or in humble toilers guise- Lo! the Christ you seek. Search for him In human hearts, In the shops and in the marts. And beside your hearth Search and speak the watch word Love, And the Christ shall rise and prove He has come to earth. Sorrowful oft times Is he That we have not eyes to seq Have not ears to hear, As we call to him afar Out behind some distant star, While he stands so near. Seek him. search him. where he
 dwells" Chime the voices of the bells On the Christmas air. Christ has come to earth again, He is in the hearts d men; Seek and find him there.
