The Great Rebuke
By Helen Parry Eden

"Put up thy sword" So Peter found
Rebuke upon his weapons aid,
The High Priests servant of his wound
Was healed, and the disciples blade
Rebidden to its scabbard. See,
o World, the lovely evidence
True lesson of Gethsemane-
That Heaven on Earth disclaims
defense.
For still the hostile ages pass,
And force may strive for right, but
know,
You can not cut at Caiaphas
But the hired servant bears the blow;
And still the apostle, he who dies
In thought to stem Christ's Passion,
falls
Short of his fervor and denies
His Master in the High Priests halls.
Forth leaps the sword upon the same
Innocent pretexts-- little homes,
Childhood and womanhood wronged, the
Name
Of this rebuking Christ: hence comes
A vo,ive fury that begins
All conflicts, and the justest pride
Is first the stalking-horse of sins
And then deserted and denied.
Despots, diplomats, dark trades
Set men increasingly at strife,
Usurp the war. cries of crusades,
Divert each God devoted life;
Never, o never yer, will war,
Howe er SO poisonous root and stem,
Lack the assurance of star
Outdazzling His OF Bethlehem
Till Truth and Innocence reprove
Their CHASTITY champions with his wo:d--
Who child the violence even of love-
Put up thy sword. "Put up thy sword"

Leares From Our Poets

Memories of Autumn
BY Mr.. J. B.
There's lure in the zephyrs calling
As they float and drift along,
That tells the world of the beauty
Where they sing their own glad song:
And list to the mystic calling
That is filled with dreams of old,
Where trail leads through the woodland
'Mongst the leaves of red and gold
Now again in fancied dreamland,
Where the friends of yester-year
Came trouping from near by schoolhouse
Making merry with their cheer;
Clear soft strains from the dying echoes
Joy-tilled gems wrought from our shrine,
Are falling like spirits from dream worlds
In this bower of oak and pine.
In bed of leaves brightest yellow
Here lie in Autumn lair,
Full breathing the air and wondering
How a world was made 80 fair.
Until dusk DER trees softly creeping
Do lie and drink my fill,
Dear faces then would be parting
Where path leads TO a mill.
Ger the hills in the distance falling
Where swift limbs have taken flight.
hear the faint calling echoes
Calling still, good night, good night.

An old farmer who had been henpecked
all his life was about to die. His wife felt
it her duty to offer him such consolation as
she might, and said:
''John, you are about to 60, but will
follow you"
l suppose so, Maria" said the old man
weakly, "but as far as am concerned you
needn't be in any blamed hurry about it,
whats a roost, dadl" asked Tommy
"a roost, my son, is pole upon which
chickens sit at uight,' replied his father.
"And what's perch dad3''
"A perch is what chickens perch on"
Then, suppose, dad, chicken must
roost on psrchf' came the further inquiry.
"Of course was the smiling reply.
"And they could perch on roostf''
"Why, yves" answered dad.
"But if chickens perched on roost, that
would make the roost perch, wouldn't it?
But if, just after some chickens had perched
on rvost and made it perch, some more
chickens came along and roasted on the
perch and made it roost, then the roost
would be a perch, and the perch would be
roost, and some of the chickens would be
perchers and the others would be boosters,

EXC ANGE POEM s
From Here And There


E1dySI
As knelt in prayer my hungry, famished
Heart cried out in pain,
go, nv needs, Dear Lord, are many;
Uncompanioned, sorrowed, stained,
o, need Brothers pity,
Need little share of love,
Need happy strain of music,
Need of wealth, if you approve.
Here my anguish spent its forces
Peace, serene crept silently,
Softly in my ear the answer,
"Famished heart, your need is me-
And unto my heated senses,
To my longing, yearning soul,
Came the messenger of gladness,
"WUr,dly needs are not thy goal
"Unto thee is sent comfort,
Even Christ, the Prince of Peace,
Peace that means an end of meetings,
Peace tina, means all strife must cease,
Peace that fills the void left gaping,
By the worldly sense of lack,
Peace that filled with solid morsels
All the wanderers, ages back. )"
And my heart stood still and listened,
Mine is Peace, Good Will to Man.
That is all. What more is missing?
Then the sweet voice spoke again:
eff you had all that you're asking,
Given thee at once, in all,
Would not lusts consume the blessing,
Cause sweet gratitude to falli''
And straightway made the answer,
Eyes, Dear Comforter, it's true,
| will 60 prepare my table,
And these will be added TO.
Now see and trust Thy wisdom,
Now say, Thy Will Be Done,
For of mine own self is nothing,
Simply this, 4 am the Son. "--Er.

THE HEART OF LONDON.
Where the Land Is Valued at Over
$16,0o0,000 Per Acre.

There is an amazing price set upon
the land Of London. In the center Of
the English metropolis tiny lots have
been sold for fortunes.
An acre there is the dearest in the
world Many transaction over ground
in the heart of the city has set the
figure Of $1625O,OOO per acre. One
square mile of London is valued at
$750,O0O,O00 The land beneath the
worth $35,O0000O and there are only
three acres in that tract too
There are places on Queen Victoria,
Upper Thames. st. Mary-at-Hill and
Cannon streets where one square inch
is worth S125. In Lombard street and
King William street prices have ranged
from 5000 and $3.50 TO $3.50 per square
foot.
Cornhill property has been bought for
more than S12,OO0000 an acre. Thread
needle street land for $3.50 per square
foot and a church in Austin Friars,
not such large church either, was
tempted with on offer OF $5,000000 for
the land beneath It.
The steady lifting of London land in
price has brought fabulous riches to
the owners. Families have risen to
prominence on no other ground than
that they owned small bits OF ground
In valuable sections Rents are high
there, and sales have made owners per
manently wealthy.-Philadelp North
