The sony One

AND ali InaI TeIlaHiSu was ~
back to them wrapped in his country's
flag! Their "only one" had been
offered and accepted as their great
sacrifice.
She had been so proud of her boy
when he had learned by hard work
Lieutenancy in the Regular Army
She had given him joyfully and yet
in sorrow. In leaving, this SIX foot
boy had said: Mother put your arms
about me and hold me tight. 1t will
help to make me brave" And then
he gave all that he had for his coun-
try.
The Drag of the Hours.
From Wednesday until Monday
morning, does not the sun stand still!
Have not the days grown longer?
And the interminable nights? Is not
the sunshine sad? Does not the
beautiful moon weep at the agony
of the hours? At last, call that re-
mains" of the Only One comes back
to his mother wrapped in the
flag for which his life was laid down!
1t was four o'clock in the morning.
A new day indeed had begun.
Why Did l Go?
Have you not been hungry some
times,-not for food, or praise, or
fame, or pleasure, or money, or pow
er,-but just hungry for the chance
to be of service?@ Yes, hunger that
only the "meat and drink" of service
can satisfy! We have all bad that
hunger.
