IF I HAD KNOWN.

and they all with one consent began
to make excuse
"If | had known If l had known"
Thus vainly voice we our regret
Der duties ll-performed-bemoan
The griefs were guiltess of-and yet
Are forced to run!
Lest chance t assuage another's woe
To stand brother on his feet;
To cheer the wayworn, speed the slow,
The hungry feed, the friendless greet
Can aught atone?
IF had known "--could / have guessed
Dun skies had been transformed to fair,
For sorrows fade like sins confess
When pity-love those sorrows share
Our faults condone?
IF I had known" zeal might have paved
Earth's rugged road and pathways steep.
Have braved the storms that ragged, and
saved
Some human fotsan from the deep,
Wild, tempest-blown!
If had known the tempter's power
Ger Natures udderless-untried,
l might have helped, in that sad hour.
The waif thus breasting helrs full tide
Yes, L, alone!
If / had known! "-serenely calm
We rest, where troubled waters roll;
And charge TO ignorance-sweet balm
The derelictions of our soul
Our soul moss-growni
Thus oft the plant 'If I had known"
Sounds deep, unmitigable woe
Thus oft omission s sin shown,
Where others hands have struck the
blow
Or cast the stone.
But will this specious, artful plea
| Avail, when offered at the Throne?
| What if His answer then should be
| Reap thou the harvest thou hast sown
Thou should'st have Known

Our WONDER WORLD"

Rev. Arthur H. Bradford, pastor of the
Congregational church, Rutland, Vt,
writes as follows about this interesting set
OF books:
1t gives me pleasure to speak a hearty
word of commentator Tor the set of books
entitled, Our Wonder World" They
have been prepared by writers who under
stand not only the subjects about which
they write but also the minds Of children.
The boys and girs who turn the pages OF
these books will gain much useful informa-
ton with hardly any conscious effort.
They will read OF the Wonder World for
the good reason that their interest will be
held from page o page. The older folks
will do likewise

sholtz Farm House Destroyed.

The farm house on the so-called
Moses Daniels farm in the southeastern
part of the town was destroyed by fire
Sunday afternoon. Strenuous work on
the part of the neighbors saved the
sheds and barns. The farm is owned
and occupied by Charles Sholtz, wife
and six children.
The contents of the lower floor were
saved, but everything in the upper
story was burned, the dense smoke pre-
venting the volunteers from entering
the rooms. The fire started around the
chimney and burned some time before
it was discovered. Mrs. Sholtz is in

much sympathy is felt for the family.
