THE SONGS OF OTHER DAYS
Selected By j. HOWARD VERT
"Clif DWeller"

She follows her little letter,
Over the plunging sea,
Sits again by the smoking peat,
And leans on her fathers knee.
There are gossiping neighbors calling
No end OF kith and kin,
And they laugh and chat and linger,
As their endless tales they spin.
And il isn't work forever,
With bells that make one start;
And it isn't only the wages;
Its something tugs at the heart.
And sets her laughing and CRYING,
As she follows across the sea;
What she wrote at her kitchen table,
When she had a half-hour free.

Going Home
BY Margaret E. Sangster

Out of the chill and the shadow,
Into the thrill and the shine;
Out of the dearth and the famine,
Into the fullnesS divine.
Up from the strife and the battle
loft with the shameful defeat).
Up to the palm and the laurels,
Oh, but the rest viii be sweet,
Leaving the cloud and the tempest.
Reaching the balm and the cheer,
Finding the end OF our sorrow,
Finding the end Of our fear.
Seeing the face of the Master
Yearning for in distance and dream, .
Oh. for that rapture of gladneSs.
On, for that vision supreme,
Meeting the dear ones departed,
Knowing them, elasping their hands
All the beloved and true-hearted.
There in the fairest Of lands,
Sin evermore left behind us.
Pain nevermore to distress:
Changing the moan for the music,
Living the Saviour TO bless.

habited centuries and centuries before
Columbus was born.
A little more than a month and a

Exposition at San Francisco will open
its portals and bid the world to

displayed all the marvels of mans in

must entrance. Both of these exposi-
