as Marta parted from him
"Yes, It 10 done to beat the Grays,"
she answered. Good luck, Jacky!"
Yes, yes, to beat the Grays! The
same idea-the fighting nature, the
brute nature Of man-animated both
sides. Had the Browns really tried for
peace? Had they, in the spirit Of her
oath. appealed to justice and reason !!

planes than swallows: the Brown dirt.

There are none of us just quite per-

There is something wrong in the

We're all so mortal and human,
And Iore more so than the rest.

And the Lord strikes balance that

If We only just cry We are human
II will be about all We should say.
There is nothing so common as
fault is,
And mistakes and errors all make,
And why should we rail at a brother
Or lift a finger to shake
In the face of some stumbler? It's

But the weakest of all are the

What pity 1t is We can't see.

What you throw, vengeful brother,
is mud;
But. look, where your " hearts
corroded,
And that stain on your hand Is OF
blood!
There are none Of us faultless in this
world,
So why should ii be worth while
To trouble our hearts with this
hatred,
To envy some brother his smile.
We're human, so awfully human,
And why should we think II would

II wasn't the money you gave the

When YOU found him down and
out
Twas the faith you restored when
YOU bettered his hap
That had filled him with bitter
doubt.
IT wasn't the food that your money
bought
or the clothes he had needed so,
But the spirit change that your kind
ness wrought
When you set hopes lamp aglow.
II isn't the human of blood and bone
Served most when o heed loves

It's a human heart just like your
own:
II hungers most OF all.

4 Shining Example.

Youngsters have a way of drop
ping on the truth that many of their
elders might follow with advantage.
Take the case of little Mary Odgers
for example. Mary goes to a school
kept by a painstaking lady with an
immense desire that her pupils
should really understand their stud
les. and not merely reel them of like
parrots.
1t was only the other day that she
had been trying to teach her school
something of the wonders of che hui
man body and. true to her excellent
principles, had at the close of the
lesson, told them TO put away their
books.
Now" she said, Il want &c see
how much you understand of all that
we have been talking about. have
tried to show you how wonderfully
u bodies adapt themselves to
changed conditions. Can you tell me
of anything you have noticed your
selves which shows this point clear
ly?"
There was a painful silence from
the whole class, and this is where
Mary Odgers-aged seven-stepped
into the breach.
