 Giving the poor man a little more stuff is poor substitute for saliva tion," declared the bishop. "The world Is not going to be saved by minister ing merely to mans physical needs and the development of socialistic schemes but only bys the absolute surrender to and love for personal God"

this letter to The Day Book should

heVe they ought to be allowed some

their problems, for boys of today

A POEM ABOUT BOYS
Editor Day Book:-We have read
your article in today's issue (Friday,
5th), regarding boys being arrested
for playing on the street corners.
But
What can a boy do, and where can he
stay,
If he's always told to get out of the
way?
He cannot stand here, he must not sit
there;
The cushions that cover that fine
rocking chair
We're put there, of course, to be seen
and admired
A boy has no business to ever be
tired.
The beautiful roses and flowers that
bloom
On the floor of the darkened and
delicate room
Are made not to walk on-at least,
not for boys;
The house is no place, anyway, for
their noise.
Yet boys must walk somewhere, and
what if their feet
Sent out of their houses, sent out
into the street,
Should step round the corner and
pause at the door
Where other boys feet have paused
often before;
Should pass the gateway of glittering
light,
Where jokes that are merry and
songs that are bright
Ring out warm welcome with fat
tering voice,
And temptingly say, Here's place
for the boys"
All, what if they should? What Il
