POETRY
THANKSGIVING.

Mid turnult of great nations raging In savage strife and piteous pain Mid clash of myriad hosts ensaStIA. Mid plash of ruthless wars red rain, We pay. o Lord, before Thine altar As we were wont in happier dts@s, With hearts that tremblt, tongues that
 falter,
 The tribute of our thankful praise. Because Thy presence vent before us, Our feet have found a peaceful path; Because Thy pinlonS ho~ered o'er IS, And hid us from the ten-psusIs wrath, We have abode at home securely, Our land has been detenned surely From the wild wreck and waste of
 war. Green herb our f1ocks and herds has
 nourished,
 Our orchard trees their fruits have
 borne, The seed we sowed eprang up and Our bins run OCT with garnered
 corn; Still in our ears Thy word is spoken, Still we in worship find Thee nigh, Thy Blood outpoured, Thy Body To our faint souls now strength sup
 ply.
 So, though the worldwide strife dis Its 'wheIming ruin. slaughter stark. Though doubt and bodings sore op-
 press us,
 Though day ts neither clear nor
 dark,
 We pay Lord, before Thine altar, As we were wont in happier days, With trembling hearts and tongues
 that falter,
 The tribute of our thankful praise. John Power, in The Living Church.

 It was with the Chicago Grand Opera Company, in Philadelphia that Mime. Stanley made her American operatic praise that had been accorded her abroad Her subsequent successes both in opera and concert have placed her name among the most popular of present-day singers.
 Mime Stanley was born in Cincinnati She began her musical education in Chicago, where her beautiful voice att tracted the attention of Mrs. Philip D. Armour, who has since taken an active interest in the singers ca reer. After singing in concert in Chi cago, Miss Stanley went to New York, and became soprano soloist of St Bartholornew's church-a much sought posttion-but she was persuaded to go abroad to continue her studies, with the result that she made her European debut year later. An engagement for two seasons as leading soprano fol- lowed and she sang successfully such roles as Marguerite in Faust, Eliz- abeth in 'HTannhauser." Desdemona in -OtheIlo." the title roles in Carmen" and '-Tosca" Pamina in "The Magic Flute, Mimi in La Boheme," and the three soprano roles in The Tales of Hoffmann-"
 It was in Chicago following her sue cessful appearance in the East, that Miss Stanley really came into her own. The most popular of her operatic roles were Donna Elvira in "Don Gio- vanni" and Michaeia in. Carmen" and it was her singing in these that so inn pressed Geraldine Farrar that led to the latter's choice of Miss Stanley for the Michaela role in the Carmen" performances given throughout the country by the Ellis Opera Company. This tour was one of extraordinary inn portapce. the company including in ad- dition to Miss Farrar and Miss Stan ley, such prominent singers as Mura- tore and Clarence Whitehill; while Campanini conducted. Each of the performances was sold to local manag- CTS for S1O coo. That Miss Stanley shared honors with Miss F'arrar-and in the opinion of some critics won even greater laurels-was widely her. aided
