We Dwell With Fears,

We dwell with fears on either hand
Within daily strife,
And spectral problems waiting stand
Before the gates Of life.
Tho doubts We vainly seek to solve;
The truths we know are one.
The known and nameless stars revolve
Around the central sun.
And II we reap as we have sown
And take the dole We deal
The law Of pain Is love alone;
Tho wounding is to heal.
Unharmed from change to change We
glide:
We fall as In our dreams.
The faron terror at our side
A smiling angel seems.
Secure on Gods all tender heart
Alike rest great and small.
Why fear to lose our little part
When he Ii pledged for all2

remarkable even in his boyhood here in
Peoria.
Il as boy was rather a gusher my
self. once went to a matinee with
Hibben. The play was one Of Days,
a sentimental piece, and in the second
act began to blubber. Miss Rehan
spoke beautifully her silly, sentimental
lines, and big tears flowed one after
another from my eyes.
"Why, you're cryingp whispered
Hibben.
"'Well,' said I, in play as sad as
this I amt ashamed to show little
feeling

wet and teary cheeks. Oh he said,
feeling is all right, but you don't need
to wash your face in it,"
