Mr.. Whitlock used 10 be a newspaper
reporter before he was a lawyer and
mayor Of Toledo. and he has written
many short stories and a number OF
novels. I guess he would rather write
than do most anything else, and one
OF the reasons he accepted Presi-

lister to Belgium was because he
thought he would have considerable
leisure. Evidently he planned to do
a lot of writing. But the war started

SMILES

By JAMES t. cRozTER.

The smile Of a child, woman or man.
More sweet than the rainbow's hue
To me as / travel along life's road,
'Tis the essence of friendship true.
What a joy they bring to this heart
of mine
While I'm walking the way here be-
low;
They are next to a Heaven on earth
to me.
And / get them wherever go.
More precious 10 me than all earthly
things
Is the soul shining out through the
eyes:
Words cannot express the joy in my
heart,
Or how much I value the prize.
IT'S a Joy unspeakable for me 10 think
OF the children from four years to
ten,
Their heavenly smiles almost make
me wish
That / was a youngster again.
My heart swells with Joy when hear
ing their words,
No matter if colored or white.
And my prayers ascend Tor a bless
ing for them
To the throne. every morning and
night.
The dear little girls so often meet
With a smile that ! so love TO see
When passing me by / will hear their
sweet words,
How are you today, Mr.. CT?
And then 7 remember the words and
sweet smiles
or them who have long passed
away.
But my comfort is this, It's a dear,
precious thought
shall meet them again some sweet
day.
No sadness will ever be seen IN that
home:
All are smiles in that heavenly
place,
Wen be happy with loved ones
through eternity;
Once sinners, but saved by His
