Adown a. golden lea.
Love lightened in her dewy eyes,
Live piped a melody.
Love led her to silver space,
Beneath a gray-leaved tree;
Dear Heaven! the wind tossed in
her hair.
The sunlight touched her knee.
All, unforgotten morn Of gold,
o river running free.

foot.
When my love came to me.

Around the shadowed door.

And dull the reedy shore.

They look Robes of Piety.

When Rev. F. w. Carstens, pastor
of the North Broadway Baptist church
at Los Angeles, suggested that his
hearers clothe themselves in the garb
of righteousness, he spoke figurative-
ly. But someone apparently lacked
the power of abstraction, and the pas
tor now believes his words were mis-
construed. While he launched the
exhortation, in speaking on High
Ideals for 1915 Actualized," some per-
son, presumably the literal one, made
away with the minister's overcoat and
hat and also an overcoat of one of the
deacons.
The police are now searching for
one who quite missed the 1915 ideals,
but equipped himself with enough of
the garb of righteousness for two.
