The dawn Ger mountains capped with

Your breath so faint, of fragrance rare,
Your smiling lips we would compare
To blushing rose.
Athwart the east a ruddy bar,
Your father, Time, awaits your car.
When you aisht what glad surprise,
What happiness, shines in your eyes,
Bright morning star!

To every weary mortal run!

And faith and hope you will renew
Meath New Years sun.

How A Life Was Changed

Frank Bullen, the author of a number of
sea stories, tells of Christmas day on ship
board, when the crew was served with fine
dinner. A boy had been bringing the
food to the table and when he served the
last course of plum pudding, he stopped
and asked tremblingly but firmly, if he
might ask blessing. The surprise of the
request made pause ior minute and then
the oldest sailor, said 'wnv certainly, boy,

words he offered thanks to God for the day
and the dinner.
That simple grace altered the whole
Course of life for the rest of the voyage.
One man never forgot it so long as he lived
There be many homes which could be
changed by the simple custom of thanking
the Great Giver of good for what He sup
plies. In fact all lives are changed in
some degree, which have felt this obliga-
ton to the supreme Giver of every good
gift. Gratitude is grace which no life
can do without culivating, and whether it

of the human race are played upon,
appealed to, coaxed. cultivated, ard

tell most nearly what one thousand
people will think upon any given
topic, will come nearest to producing
successful advertising.

The Chinese are having difficulties with
their methods of attempting a republican
form of government. 1t is now said that a
majority of the Chinese people want the
monarchial form of rule restored.
Pendennis does not believe that any ma
ton would be benefited by restoring mon
archy to power. 1t seems that such re-
storation would be step backward. Per-
haps it is the people who want to get in a
position to rule the Chinese, that desire a
form of government which will permit rule,
who want the monarchy restored in China.

Have you learned how to make friends

Do you know what it is to be friend to
yourself?

Will lonely dog follow you in the

Can you be high minded and happy in
the meaner drudgeries of lite?
Do you think washing dishes and hoeing
corn just as compatible with high thinking
as piano playing or golf'
Are you good for anything to yourself?
Can you be happy alones
Can you look out on the world and see

Or at elections seal the fate
