She had been sick with grip cold Tor

ways upholding good things, and con-
slant attendant at church when she

Prediction ia vet to be fulfilled, but enough

Prediction is yet to be fulfilled, but enough
has been accomplished to encourage the
indulgence of the faith and hope that the
vision of the Virgin will yet be realized,
that all nations as well as generations
shall call her "Blessed," and that her
"stormsong of democracy" will finally
be answered by the peaceful song OF
true and triumphant democracy.
Obviously enough, as has been remark
ed the person and characteristics OF
the Virgin Mary as presented in her en-
raptured and incompatible song of praise,
differ in many respects from the repre-
sensations of her given by tradition, leg
end. art, and song. Her purity, her
grace. her mildness, meekness, and mo-
desty. and all kindred virtues and charms
abide. but other virtues, stronger and
more vigorous, appear that make her
womanhood all the completer and grand
err, She is a woman of great character,
of great intellectual power and compre-
hensiop. of no mean erudition and culture
in the literature of her race, OF an ardent
patriotism. Of poetic insight and pro-
phetic outlook, and of profound sympathy
with the lot and asplr atoms OF tne COM
mon people. AS such she sings exuitlngiy,
and her song seems to me IKE cnaC OF
some ll-throated and most meiooious
bird pouring out it's whole tuneful heart.
at daybreak, from the topmost tWlg OF
the tallest and stateliest of all the trees.
Great-hearted strong-minded, without
a trace of masculinity, without anything
suggestive of modern feminism, hers IS
that pure, gracious beautiful, strong ana
altogether wonderful Womanism which
finds favor with God and which all men
call blessed and adore. 1t was Horace
Bushnell who said: Probably there was
never any created being of all the created
wor DIS, put in such honor as this woman,
In that case. to doubt her Worthlness OF
such high favor and supreme honor, would
be to question the very wisdom OF GOD.
1t was Horace Bushnell who also SAID:
80 We lilies and other white harblngers
ci spring, culled so often by art to De
symbols of her unspotted motherhood,
what can We show of silent Towering IN
the white of purity, which she does not
much better show herself!" Amen. But
as we listen while
Our Lady sings Magnifcat
In tones SURPRISING sweet;
we hear a music in which the notes OF
purity and piety are blended with those
of patriotism and humanity; and we see
in the singer the exultant poet OF the
common people, the puissant champion
of social justice, and the clarlon-Volced
prophet of the final prevalence OF that
Justice in human society.

The GUY WHO COULDN'T LIE!

(Charles Murray. in Dayton (O) Journal.)
l stood one day by the side Of the bay.
, And watched the ships go by,
when an old sailor said, with snake OF his
head.
1--WE saw many sights as would jigger your
And they've jiggered me down forsooth.
But l amt worth darn at spinning yarn
when 1t wanders away from the truth.
Il was out on the bark, the Nancy Spark.
Full league and half at sea,
When Captain Shook, with troubled look,
Comes and he seq to me:
"'Boat'sun Smith. make haste for'with.
And hemslitch the spanker sail;
Accordion pleat the Ior'ard sheet,
For she's g'wine to blow gale
"'Aye, ave. l said, as l rushed ahead,
AS the skipper himself might do:
But, we hove in low and hit the blow.
And, murderin' lights, how she blew!
'She blew the tars right offn' the spars,
The spars right offn' the mast;
Anchors and sails and kegs O. nails
Went by the force O. the blast.
"She blew the -four right out O. the bin,
The lard tight out O. the tin.
Then whistling apace past the captains face.
Blew the whiskers all IF of his chin.
'Phew! he said. as he ducked his head,
And telt around his mouth;
We're lost, Tear, il the wind don't veer,
And blow a bit from the SOUTH,
mo sooner he'd said, when he ducked his
head,
And felt around his mouth;
Than the vino hurled around with hurricane
sound,
And blew straight in fl ON the south.
1--WE stood the while with curious smile,
with never word to say.
For In changing her tack the wind blew back
All the things she had blown away.
"She blew the tars back onto the spars,
Inc spars back onto the mast;
Anchors and sails. and Kegs O. nails
Each into the ship stuck fast
"She blew the -four back into the bin,
Inc COOK to the srarboaro poop;
she blew the pots in their regular spots,
without even spilling the suup
The fire blew back in the galley stove,
mere 1t burned IN Its regular place,
lhen Oil OF US cheered when it blew the beard
Back onto the captains face.

lights,
And they've fingered me down forsooth,
But amt worth darn at spinning at yarn.
