matter OF sentiment nor go out in the

there was once a time when umbrellas
were unknown. We take advantage of
all the discoveries of a modern world of

Too many of us are held by phantoms

must make of our own existence a
tragedy. And the way to end dreams is

Robert Browning. In that line OF poetry
lies wonderful sermon against yielding
yourself to the illusions of your past.
Life is ghost-ridden thing for many
people. l knew once a man who lived
in his old homestead. tumbledown, ram
shackle place which could hardly yield
him living. His farm was not fertile
and his talents did not lie in the direc-
ton of raising chickens or running a
dairy or of making good living off
his ancestral acres. But he had a senti-
mental feeling for the old place, where
his grandparents before him had lived,
and for years he insisting on refusing
all sorts of wonderful offers from a real
estate company which wanted to build a
park along the line of his place.
Then he fell in love with a girl and
could not afford to marry. He let her
youth go by while she sat waiting for

haunted. held by phantoms of the past
At last he was forced to give up the
old place TO a railroad which wanted the
right-of-way. At the age of 40 he found
himself in possession of $4,000 and with
absolutely no business training.
There was nothing to say that the
dreamer he had proven himself to be
should become a power in the world of
men, and yet suddenly all the latent
strength developed. Today at the age OF
30 he is happy husband and father and
one of the big men" of a large western
city. But the girl who waited died be-
fore the ghosts that haunted him had
been exercised and his house of life had
been made habitable.

A crimson rift that streaks the gray,
A deathless scent that still will stray
Athwart the years, the living strain
or music heard through depths of pain
star abreast a stormy sky,
smile where tears are scarcely dry.
And eyes that Grief has rendered blind.
Rejecting light unquenched and kind.
A word that fingers in the still,
The strength of never conquered will,
The Joy that in Faiths own heart lies
That Life is sweet and nothing dies.
