UNITY.
Iny AIfrcd Noyc.l


Heart of my heart. the world is young;
Love lies hidden in every rose,
Every song that the skylark sung
Once. we thought. must come TO A.
close.
Now we know the spirit of song,
Song that is merged in the chant of
tho whole.
Hand in hand as we wander along,
What should we doubt of the Years
that roll?
Heart Of my heart, we cannot die!
Love triumphant in flower and tree
Every life that laughs at the sky
Tells us nothing can cease TO be.
One, we are one with n song to-day.
Ono with the clover that scents the
void.
One with the Unknown, far away
One with the stars. when earth grows
old.
Heart OF my heart, we are one with
the wind.
One with the clouds that arc whirled
DER the len,
One in many 0 broken and blind
One as the waves are one with the
sea!
Aye! when life seems scattered apart.
Darkens. ends as a tale that Is told,
One, we are one. o heart Of my heart.
One, still one, while tho world grows
old.

Der of gifts from parishes. individuals

the summer, with over $4,000 added
TO the fund last month. Responses to
the letter OF Bishop futile, the pre-
siding bishop of the Church. are COM
ing from all over the land. Many have

THE NEWER HEROISM

The very common notion TINT the
heroic has been struck out Of life. and
that tho one sole purpose OF the young
man OF to-day Is 10 make his pile" and
then abandon himself to what the
world defines as "a good time" has
wrong, says the Universalst Leader
The old-time manifestation OF the
heroic has of necessity departed with
the conditions which made it possible.
The appeal 10 physical Drowess in bat
tie or to romantic chivalry has too
much OF the spectacular in It to
awaken more than an amused interest.
bnt it will he found that In every field
of practical life there arc those who
are rs truly giving themselves in behalf
of the cause OF good as ever did n
knight of old. We believe that many
young men are eQuipping themselves
to serve, and but await the call to real
service IT Is because we believe this
that we constantly call tho attention
of young men to tho ministry as the
best opportunity for heroic service the
aRe has to offer. Certainly all will
admit there is no lack of opportunity
for sacrifice. We all feel that he who
enters the ministry gives up much. hut
those who have had experience in n
genuine ministry will feel with even
more confidence that he who enters
the ministry gets more 1t is n narrow
outlook which measures compensations
by financial standards only In the
real satisfaction of real life the min
stry is the best paid of any calling.
It does not always seem so to the min
lister, but the years prove it true. And
yet is he ministry the place of all
places for the new heroism of the new
age and 1t spells opportunity for any
virile youth.

NOT GUILTY OF THIS VERSE.
SAYS THE LIVING CHURCH

Apropos of the discussion referred to
elsewhere on this age concerning va
canons or the clergy, recent editorial
paragraph in the Living Church reads:
we have been accused OF writing
the following verse, hut deny the
charge. Probably some disEruntlcd lay
man who couldn't afford an automobile
pcnned the lines in a cynical moment:
Back from the mountains and ocean
To the city wherein men have toiled
Through the long summer heat with
no notion
That their health or their strength
would he spoiled.
Come tho parsons from joys of vaca-
An. fortunate men that they are.
And we'll soon hear the old proclama-
ton
'Gainst sin. of perpetual war
""Tis we'll. Yet We can but remember
The glorious days that are gone
When cen between June and September
The old war went nightly on"

urges. where ruthlessness of an I'M
Inraileled type is displayed. and where
the very rudiments of Christianity are

should not be preached or taught dur

II has not been our fortune to hit
upon human document more psyche
logically suggestive than the words of
this writer in the Christlichc Welt
There surely must be something fun

from the conflicts. for example. in
which Cromwclrs ironsides were en-
gagged. In their psalm singing, prayer

this confession on tho part of the writer

That he undoubtedly believes he is

The question whether the vacation

The ConGreEationalist. OF Boston, the
organ OF that denomination. one Of tho

The CoHEresationalists own opinion
Is that ministers vacations when
overriding, create Indifference and
sluEgishness in the community. Tenn
porary supplies during the long rests
enjoyed by the regular ministers and
gospel tents and woodside gatherings
do not satisfy those who have them
selves no protractcd rest.
The season in England, says our re-
l!cious contemporary. Is quite differ

fact. in London and in the provinces
among denominations in summer as
there is here in the revival periods.
The ConGregationalist asks pointed

Who cometh with a robe besmirched
Unto this Place Of Bliss.
Then spake the Eldest Angel
'The robe he wears is fair
The cropping fingers OF the poor
Have held and blessed him theYe.'
The Little Chcrubs whispered.
Who comes to DE our guest
With dust shout his garments hem
And stains upon his breast?'
Then spake the Eldest Angel
Most lovely is the stain
The tears OF those he comforted
Who may not weep again
The Little Cherubs whispered,
What strange, new soul Is he
Who cometh with burden here
And bears 1t tenderlyr
Then spake the Eldest Angel.
He bears his life's award
The burden OF mems broken hearts
To place before the Lord
The dust upon his garments Asna---

The strains upon tho breast OF hina
Are gems thrice exquisite.
