THE LEGEND OF ST. MARTIN OF
TOURS.

ST. Martin was soldier brave
In France of long ago,
And riding on his prancing steed
Along the road he'd go.
One day be met Il beggar man,
ForlOrn, and meanly clad;
st. Martin checked his chargers pace
The vision made him sad.
No gold or food the soldier had,
But then a purpose woke;
He drew his sword and cut in twain
His handsome riding-cloak.
Half of his cloak he laid upon
The shivering beggar's back,
And then, with sunshine in his heart,
Rode down the winding track.
That night III dream nc saw Our Lord
Wearing in Paradise
The half-loaf he that day had given
To Him in beggar's guise.
The poor they are Gods very own,
And when we give to them
1t is as il we gave to Christ
Homeless i'll Bethlehem

DON'T WASTE MINUTES.

How much time we all waste, time
which might have been put to good
use if we had only cared to employ
it so. Each one of us in his daily
routine throws away many, many min
utes in doing nothing. In fact, if at
the end of year we could collect our
wasted moments into one stretch Of
time it would probably cover a period
of couple of weeks or more. Think
of it! How much might have been
accomplished!
You will find, in reading through
the lives of great men, whose names
are blazoned in the halls of fame, that
Now, what are wasted moments
Time spent in sleep is not wasted,
for it is resting mind and body. Time
spent in the companionship of those
near and dear to us is not wasted, for
it not only brightens us and so fits us
for better accomplishments, but it
brings pleasure to them.
Wasted Time.
No time is wasted i'll which some
good is accomplished. But there are
minutes, which amount up to hours
and days, when we are doing no good
either to ourselves or to others. Fol
example, so much time is thrown
away in transportation. To be sure
we are being carried from one place
to another, but during the act OF
Transportation both mind and body are
idle. Hundreds and thousands o.
workers are daily brought in to offices
from out of town or from uptown by
the subway, tube and elevated trains
and of these thousands there are
probably not over hundred who arr
making use of that period of time TO
their self-advancement.
The well-known naturalist. Cuvier

A large crowd of the relatives and

word of cheer and encouragement
on their voyage. Tears were abun-
dant. 1t was but natural that there
should have been tears. But there
were no rebellious tears. Sad though
the parting scene was, it was also an
inspiring one. Forty men, men of
Maury county, were leaving to join
the army that will fight for the prin-
ciples of freedom and democracy the
world over and every mother, sister
and father who wept must have felt
that patriotic pride which comes of
participation in cause SO noble.
The farewell ceremony was infor-
NAL Only the officials who performed
the task of selecting the men spoke.
There was no music. There was no
presentation of gifts save the we'll.
filled boxes of lunches. No audible
word of prayer was said. But several
ministers were in the crowd and the
heart of every man, woman and child,
either consciously or unconsciously
was lifted up to God in petition for
the safety and happiness of the men
who were going away.

that they deserved more praise for
their loyalty because of the fact that

was that when the men who are 90.
