FAITH.

Across the dusky vale | hear
The vesper thrushes call;
Now far, like elfin flute, now near
The lyric answers fall.
Across the years heart calls to heart
With all the hearts deep cry.
The strains down silent aisles depart.
No lips Of love reply.
But firmer than the hills that dream
The centuries away
Is that sure faith OF love supreme
Untouched by times decay
The faith that waits, through years
be long,
And VOWS. ere hope take flight,
A voice whose tones and sweetest
song
Shall answer through the night

To do this we must awaken the whole
population of the country to an interest
in them and a realization of their value
and of the dangers which seem almost
to threaten their determination And we
must go farther than the arousng of
