NOT THEY WHO SOAR.

Not they who soar, but they who plod
Their rugged way unhelped to God
Are heroes; they who higher fare
And flying. fan the upper air
Miss all the toll that hugs the sod.
'Tis they whose backs have felt the
rod
Whose feet have pressed the path un-
shod,
May smile upon defeated care
Not they who soar,
High up there are no thorns to prod,
Nor boulders lurking meath the sod
To turn the keenness of the share
For fight is ever free and rare
But heroes they the soil who've trod
Not they who soar.
Dunbar.
There is such a wealth of consola-
ton in that little poem of Dunbar's
that it deserves a place in the mind
and heart of every woman. Some
time when we look about and see how
many there are whose path seems
strewn with roses, whoes every ambi-
ton seems fulfilled and whose every
desire gratifed we feel as if we had
no place in the world and that it is
useless to try to make our presence
feIt-but here from the pen of our
beloved poet who trod the shoals and
depths Of unhappiness and still wrote
with optimism and cheer, comes a new
note of inspiration. We have seen
repeatedly that the flight of those who
soar has resulted in glory and fame
and yet who can say that they have
been happier for the result.
There comes to every woman at
some time a great desire to be able
to enjoy the comfort and ease of life
which wealth can afford, there are
those who long most for the educa-
tional opportunities that others en-
joy-al wish for the unattainable-
wish to soar, but | think deep in her
soul she feels something of this note
which the poet has sung that after
all there is no feeling of greater eX-
ultation than that which comes from
having conquered an adverse condi-
ton.
Some of that pleasure comes with

ment of inexpensive material; from
the making. over Of a ehild's suit from
an old suit of dads. All of these lit
tie joys come to the woman in the
home. some Of those that seem to plod
and they are indeed the heroines who

the great heights, who have reached

chosen field were first of all among
the plodders. Few indeed are they
who are born on the heights and
even these must labor to remain there.
Those who, to our obscure vision
seem to float about leisurely on the
mount Of Parnassus unmolested by
the petty cares Of the day may in
their be suffering greater uneasiness,
greater anxiety than we in our hum
bier estate can comprehend.
In a world where there are so many
types of individuals. no two alike in
any way, there must be those who plod
and those who soar Granted that we
are among the podders, our songs of
praise, as we 20 about our daily task
