 heard a strange voice in the dis
 tance calling, As from a star an echo might De
 falling.
 It spoke four syllables, concise and
 brief,
 Charged with a God-sent message of relief.
 Let go the Cross, oh, you who
 cling to sorrow, Hark to the new command, and
 comfort borrow. Even as the Master left his cross
 below, and rose to Paradise,
 let go, let go.
 Forget your wrongs, your troubles
 and your losses, For with the tools of thought we
 build our crosses. Forget all griefs, all grudges and all fear, And enter Paradise-its gates are near.
 Heaven is a realm by loving souls
 created,
 And hell was fashioned by the
 hearts that hated. Love, hope and trust; believe, all
 joys are yours; Life pays the soul whose confidence
 endureS.
 The blows of adverse fate buy
 larger pleasures, As after storms the soil yields rich
 CT treasures. Let go the Cross; roll self-the
 stone-away, And dwell with Love in Paradise
 today"
 l. is indeed a strange voice, fall ing like an echo out of the star," that bids us Let go the Cross" After all the age-long injunctions we have received of the necessity of clinging to and living under it's shadow, it would seem that God, ill these latter days, through His poets and prophets-the men and women divine-is giving us a new dispen- sation.
 In other words, that while the Most High, or that power which works for righteousness, is the same yesterday, today and forever; that as man evolves into higher state of being, he must have a bet ter, holier religion. The new wine is growing too strong for the old bottles"
 It is only of recent years we are learning the potency of thought; {; that thoughts are things which make or mar our lives; that through thought in a degree we had not formerly considered pos sible, we are the arbiters of our own individual destinies; that the thoughts we permit lodgment in our minds control our lives.
 We now know that to hug to our hearts griefs. trials, troubles and losses is to bear up Calvary's rugged brow the crosses for our own undoing.
 That there should be no looking back except to profit by the les sons of the past. That the here and now should occupy ever mo- ment of our waking hours. The past is gone forever. The future may never come. This day, this hour, yea, this very minute is all have with which to front eternity Shall I spend it in the workshop of the mind forging tools of thought for good, or in the field of action in kindly service to my fellowmen? The message of today, as of old, is that the Kingdom of Heaven, if found at all, is to be found in our own hearts; that we can enter that holy of holies any time we wish if we can make it a fit temple for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. or, in other words, can bring our Sevles to heed the injunction of One who, two thousand years ago, said: Except ye become as little children, ye shall not see the King dom of God" -Theophrastus.

 All branches of the army service were represented in the body of regu- 1ars-engineers, artillery, cavalry, in- fantry and signal corps The sailors and marines from half dozen battle ships rolled along smartly in the wake of their landsmen brethren.

Some Remarkable Egg Production Re-
suits

In the Poultry Raising" depart
ment of the current issue of Farm
and Fireside. B. F. w. Thorpe, of the
staff of that periodical. shows how
anyone of half dozen varieties of
chickens can be made about equally
productive if heavy laying strain
system of selection and breeding. AS
an illustration of success on small
scale, he reports the activities of Mr..
a. S. Mathewson of Massachusetts.
Following is an extract from Mr..
Thorpes article:
Only Small number-a dozen or
two Barred Rock breeding birds
kept, on account of Mr.. Mathewson's
advancing years, but his results Sc
cured in egg production are equal to
those of many who keep several times
as many hens.
"The foundation of his flock of pure
bred Barred Rocks was purchased
seven years ago, and all of his hens
have been trap-nested steadily.
1.-The hest layer of the first gener-
alton bred by him laid only 166 eggs
in her pullet year Mr.. Mathewson
has since succeeded in breeding a
pullet that laid go eggs in twelve
months The same hen continued lay
ing after the year was completed,
bringing her total egg production up
to 3O5 eggs between molts. Her mott
that year was delayed until January.
After melting this hen again began
to lay the last day of February foi-
lowing, and laid thirty-three eggs III
the next succeeding thirty-nine days.
when an accident cut off her egg lay
ing career April 18th.
This strain of Rocks developed by
Mr.. Mathewson is proving unusual in
respect to continuing heavy egg pro-
duction late in life. His star perform
er to date is Queen Bess.
During her productive, life OF SIX
years to date her record is as folloWs'
1867 outlet Year,, 154 eggs: 1908, 49,
1909. ga; 1870 1876; 1911, 142; 1917, %.
This is a total of 1,015 eggs IN SIN
years. an average of 1863 eggs annually.
In her third year she laid 2z4 eggs IN
psi days. Her eggs average twenty
six ounces to the dozen.
Another hen, a year younger, that
promises to do about equally wen,
has produced as follows: pa, 1SS, l6s,
l4S. 146-an average yearly production
of 172 eggs against 1873 for Queen Bess
for her first five years of laying.
MIR Mathewson attributes his sue
cess to the fact that he is always on
the job and knows his birds inti-
mately."
