No mother who has such little mound out there in the Gods acre" will. while providing Christmas cheer for her happy noisy, living brood, entirely forget that lonely little spot in the dark and the cold, but will find moment in the busy day-a half hour between the dusk of Christmas eve and dawn of Christmas morn. ing-in which to visit the cemetery; there to plant on baby's crave a small candle

 They haze been t:riyen from their homes by invading armies. If fear permitted their return they would find little shelter, no food and no work.

FOR ALL WE HAVE AND ARE

For all we have and are, For all our children's fate, Stand up and meet the war! The Hun is at the gate Our world has passed away In wantonness o'erthrown. There's nothing left today But steel and fire and stone. Though all we knew depart, The old commandments stand; 'In courage keep your heart. In strength lift up your hand" Once more we hear the word That sickened earth of old: "No law except the sword, Unsheathed and uncontrolled" Once more it knits mankind; Once more the nations go To meet and break and bind A crazed and driven foe. Comfort, content, deliGht- The ages slow-bought gain They shrlveled in a night Only ourselves remain To face the naked days
 In silent fortitude, Through perils and dismays Renewed and re-renewed. Though all we made depart, The old commandments stand: 'In patience keep your heart In strength lift up your hand" No easy hopes or lies
 Shall bring us to our goal, But iron sacrifice
 Of body will aud soul, There's but one task for all For each one life to give. Who stands if Freedom fall Who dies if England live
