RECOGNITION

He turned the sod, plowed deep the
soil;
His ploWshare left it's trace
TO thousands of his race,
AS evidence of honest toll.
He bravely waged the fight of life;
A scabbard on the field
Gave proof he did not yield
To any foeman in the strife.
Through forests dense he blazed the
way
For multitudes unborn;
His ak he left, all worn,
Unhelved, half hidden in the clay.
He builded cities on the plain;
His handiWork remains
In palaces and fanes,
On highways of the foaming main.
He planted fruit and forest tree,
Not for himself alone,
But after years had flown,
For generations yet to be.
Denied the scholars gift and goal,
He laid foundations wide
And deep that still abide,
For building temples of the soul.
Feet to the lame, eyes to the blind
His benefactions fell
On mansion, hut and cell,
And children's children bless his kind
He wrote no book, he made no speech;
A life of noble deeds
Speaks louder far than creeds
And touches mankind's utmost reach
Why should we ask or seek his name
When on the scrolls above,
IT'S writ in words of love,
That burn with cloven tongues o.
flame.

SOME READABLE VERSE
THE BEST ROAD OF ALL.

| like road that leads away to pros
poets white and fair,
A road that is an ordered road, like a
nuns evening prayer;
But, best Of all, l love road that
leads to God knows where.
You come upon it suddenly-you can
not seek it out;
It's like a secret still unheard and
never nOised about:
But when you see it, gone at once is
every lurking doubt.
1t winds beside some rushing stream
where aspens lightly culver;
1t follows many broken field by
many shining river;
1t seems to lead you on and on, for
ever and forever!
You tramp along it's dusty way, be-
meath it's shadowy trees,
And hear beside you chattering birds
or happy booming bees.
And all around you golden sounds, the
green leaves litanies.
And here's a hedge, and there's cot;
and then-strange, sudden turns
A dip, a rise, little glimpse where
the red sunset burns;
A bit of sky at eveningtime, the scent
of hidden ferns.
A winding road, a lettering road, a
finger mark Of God
Traced when the Maker of the world
leaned over ways untrod.
See! Here He smiles His glowing
smile, and 10, the goldenrod!
l like a road that wanders straight;
the kings highway is fair,
And lovely are the sheltered lanes that
take you here and there;
But, best of all, l love road that
leads to God knows where.
