God wills no man a slave. The most meek.
Who him face to face on Horebs peak,
Had slain tyrant for bondman's wrong,
And met his Lord with snless soul and strong,
Put when, years after, overfraught with care,
His feet once trod doubts pathway to despair,
For that treason lapse, the guiding hand
That led so far now barred the promised land.
God makes no man slave, no doubter free;
Abiding faith alone wins liberty. M
No angel led our Cheftan's steps Alright:
No pilot cloud by day. fame by night;
No plague portent spake to foe friend
No doubt assaied him, faithful to the end
Weaklngs there were In the tribes OF old,
Who craved for feshpots. worshiped calves Of gold.
Murmured that right would harder be than wrong,
And freedoms narrow road so steep and long;
But he who ne'er on Sinafs summit trod,
Still walked the highest heights and spake with God;
Saw with anonted eyes no promised land
BY petty bounds or pettier cycles spanned
Its people curbed and broken to the ring.
Packed with caste and saddled with king
But freedoms heritage and training school,
Where unruled should learn to wisely rule,
Till and moon should at Ajalon
Kings heads in dust and freemen's feet thereon.
His work well done. the leader stepped aside,
Spurnng crown with more than kingly PRIDE
Content to wear the higher crown of worth,
While time endures, First Citizen Of earth. Fs

London Worried Ouer Lack
of Sanitation at Front

,epidemics then arise, they are not
likely to be confined to the particular
armies first stricken, nor will the civil
population in the devastated areas es-
cape.
Scarcity of food, it is further indi-
Gated, will play its part in reducing the
disease-resisting power of the popula-
ton. The combination of war, flood
and famine will favor the spread of
epidemics. Indeed" says Professor
Simpson, "the terrible taint in the air
| that already characterizes the inundat-
ed area on the User tells its own tale
Under this flood lie hundred thOus-
and corpses."
The User is not much farther from
London than New York is from Phil
adelphia. London, therefore, must
take strict measures to protect herself
cat a moment when health is Of such
vital Importance" comments Professor
Simpson, eve cannot afford to over
look any precaution. The effect upon
hours of labor alone would be immense
if an epidemic should arise; the effect
of alcohol excess would be quite in
significant in comparison.
"various measures of protection are
now in force Everyone who gas
crossed the Channel recently knows
that a medical examination is carried
out at Folkestone before passengers
are permitted to land. This measure
should be more vigorously applied as
the summer advances.
cit has been recently suggested that
inoculation against typhoid should be
carried out among the civil population
of England. There is much 20 be said
in favor of this idea. England is al
present full of camps in which large
numbers of people are crowded to-
gether. These camps are models Of
| good management, nevertheless there
are certain dangers which are unavoid-
able. The typhoid carrier is one of
them; he is not himself i'll, but he
carries the germ of the disease and in,
fects other people.
