Bringing to reluctant notice notes

Thrusting its new figure boldly INTO

And engagements for our pleasure

God In His 0mnlscient wisdom may
diyine.--and only He,
We must leave that TO His keeping we
must trust il in His hand,
Glad that what is far beyond us he
can see and understand.
Turn We TO our part. Ii boots not
what the year To us may give,
But II does more greatly matter how
amid It's gifts we live.
Shall our hearts be tender, humbly
waiting on the Masters will?
Shall our hands with faithful service
all the passing moments fill ?
Or shall we-0 let us not fail in our
individual place
To fulfil the mission given us. through
Christ's promised strength and
grace
Then shall possible distresses that
might tempt us TO repine
Be transmitted into blessings by the
touch of Peace Divine;
And the pleasures freely lavished by
Our Fathers loving thought
Shall be richer--shall be sweeter for
the consciousness inwrought
That no duty trails behind us with its
lash Of things undone,
That no heart for our remissness sor-
rows at each set Of sun.
As a Church let us be loyal to the
standard Of our Lord,
Testing our united actions by the pre-
cepts of His Word;
Standing ever for the best things,
pressing toward the noblest ends,
For our Saviour's cause and Kingdom
finding place and winning friends.
For such sanctified ambition let us
strive and let US pray;
And such blest results of labor let US
hope for day by day
fragrant evils stalk about us; awful
scenes blot the fair earth;
Men and women waste their energies
on things of little worth;
Much without us grieves our spirits,
and so much within us shames,
As we see how men will grovel, as we
view our own low aims.
But we know that God is reigning still
above the world He made,
And we know that Christ ransom Tor
the sin-robbed world has paid:
Thus with courage we may arm us Tor
the further battlefields.
While the sad world-war is raging
with the suffering that it yields,
And while blood and death are run
ming wild and men are mad to XII,
It is time to WELD the Spirit-sword
for peace and for good will.
While the nation leaders grasp for
powers above their millions slam,
While their desolate and starving cry
for mercy-cry in vain,
It is time for us to waken to new
deeds of helpfulness;
It is time to make our influence wider
reach-more richly bless.
Not with hate and greed and carnage
do Christ's loyal armies move,
He. the Church's might Captain, rules
in patience, wins by love.
We who claim to be His followers, we
whose names are on His roll
We must hear His call and answer
with devoted heart and soul.

been defeated, and that he will be in
a position TO be an equal power with
Carranza in any agreements that may
be made. If there should be a ma
tional convention agreed upon as a
plan, department officials are predict
ing that it will be an even chance
whether the principles of Gen. Villa
