She loves the flowers, the wind that bends the nj;
When the spring comes she dances and her mirth
Comes always when the water laughs to her.
She holds the little daily sweets OF earth
On high, and pleasures in them: words that sing
Clear music, lovely faces-an delight.
We others pass useduled, unnoticing,
The sunrise and the sunset. day and night.
Yet somehow all her woven joys endure 9
Too perfect, too well-shapen. to have rayed
alphabetically her OH, am sure
That once upon time do not know
God took away from her-once long ago
All LIES real rugged things, too sharp for joys,
And-for she looked at Him still unafrad-
He laid within her hands instead these toys
oh, on the gentle day when she goes hence
hope that for her gay obedience
He has reward for her. that when she dies
He will not send her straight to paradise.
She knows enough of paradisal mirth.
Oh, surely He will give her back the earth,
And all its living that He made her miss,
Locked close to life by it's most burning KISS,
Cutchng decisions, terror haunted breath

THE POWER OF FAITH.

The British Medical Journal says that pa
tient who believes that nothing can save him
helps to seal his own doom.
That is to say, all the skill and experience
of the physician are Of little avail unless they
are augmented by the faith Of the patient
The popularity of the various forms of faith
healing seems to attest that there is much in it.
The body is the slave of the mind. To i'm
agine yourself i'll is actually to be i'll. To will
yourself well is often to become we'll
It has now been made an open question
whether the presence and the drugs Of the ply
sician are not Of Importance primarily because
they excite faith.
It is a curious paradox that truth dwells
only in compromise.
Desire to attain certain qualities of character
will lead, if the desire is strong enough, to
their attainment.
One is vitality what one aspires to be.
The power of aspiration and the power Of
faith do not act as directly on the body as they
do on the character They are hampered by
grosser conditions and limitations. But,
nevertheless, their power is great. There are
Iinnumerable examples of the sckly man, actu-
ated by keen ambition to be strong, becoming
almost miraculously robust-healed by faith
in the feasibility Of his throwing off his ills
The biblical invitation to the physician to
heal himself is nowadays often addressed to
the patient.
Be wise and temperate, learn the benefits of
fresh air and exercise, and believe that there is
nothing much the matter, and you will be we'll,
during most of your days, at any rate.
Faith may remove mountains Certainly
then it can remove the woes of the hypochon-
fdriac and the jumpy neurotic.
