"THE GOD OF BATTLES. ."

Who is "the God of Battles"
To whom the armies pray
For strength TO slay his creatures
Opposed in wars array?
Does he direct the carnage
And wounds and death afield,
And grief and blight of women
That never can be healed?
The cries of little children,
In want of clothes and bread.
The tears of stricken loved ones,
In mourning for their dead?
\ just lord would be wounded
If on His holy name
The lust Of blood and battle
Were placed as praise or blame.
O earthly kings and kaisers
To you our reason brings
Reproach and shame for warfare.
Not to the King of Kings!
For land and for dominion
And glory of your throne,
You slaghter foremen's soldiers,
And sacrifice your own.
And in the final issue,
Can force or fraud or might
Decide a human problem
BY rule of truth and right?
Read, fellowmen, the riddle
OF life and OF the grave,
The armies pray to slaughter,
The Red Cross nurse to save.
Which is the nobler lesson,
To practice and to teach:
destruction OF your fellows
Or good from each to each?
Make the people of the nations
A human brotherhood.
Bound close by human feeling
To seek each others good.
Teach czars and kings and kaisers
That wars and strife must ceas
or sacrifice such rulers

Apart from the fact that red roses are
symbolical Of love and white Of purity.
the English national emblem is the
rose; the Legitimst party Of France
formed the League Of the Rose in imi-

owing TO Gladstone's fondness for white
roses many Liberals once wished to
make them an emblem for their party
but the idea was not adopted.

consheld's fayorite flower, and has been
chosen by his followers, who formed the
