THE FLIGHT OF THE SOUL

When the evening of life comes,
And all the world turns cold and
gray,
/ hear the roll of muffled drums
Borne on the air from faraway.
The sun drops slowly from my sight,
Black darkness falls upon my eyes,
Yet / see shadowy light
That brightens the dark'ning skies.
Brighter and brighter grows the light;
lose my awesome doubts and fears
AS my sin-stained soul takes flight
To Jesus arms where are no tears.
The Wyoming Poet.

BRUTAL CHARITY"
BY AMOS PINCHOT.

Poverty is the curse of civilization.
Child poverty is the worst kind of pow
erty. If you strike sapling with
an axe it may live, but it will grow up
a SCARED tree. If you give a child a
bad start you cannot expect it to be-
come a strong man or woman, or a
first-rate citizen.
The hope of America is in its chill
dren. That is why Judge Neips moth
ers' pension proposition is fundamen-
tai. He wants to place American
children beyond the necessity OF char
ity-to have them grow up in their
homes, to have the state give the
widowed mother enough money to
raise the family independent of the
bounty of the rich. This is nothing
but hard common sense. 1t ought to
have been done half century ago;
If you were mother and you lost
your husband and your money, would
you prefer to have your children taken
from you and put in an institution. or
would you rather have the state give
you enough to raise them at home !!
That is all it amounts to.
Of course, charity fights widows
pensions. Charity fights most things
that are common sense and human, or
that take away from its prestige. For
instance, it was not until 1853 in my
state, New York, that the public school
maintained by taxation, wrested the
education of the child away from the
charity school; it was hard fight. In
Massachusetts this change was made
in 1917. Public school education did
not become a fairly general matter
in the United States until 1850. Many

THE PRICE
By FOLGER M'KINSEY.

We are always paying the price for
the things we lose or gain,
Out of this life of mingled gladness
and of pain;
And whether we pay for pleasure or
whether we pay for sin,
1t is always paying the price for life,
no matter where we begin.
We say we have had lot we've en-
joyed and we've shared in the
best;
We sit sometimes with a little dream
of old content in the breast;
And then we look away and think of
the things that were nice;
1t all comes over US, lucky or sad, that
we've had to pay the price.
The magnate pays it for his, as the
pauper pays it, too;
And the saint pays just as the sinner
does and the unsaved have to do;
In all that we have and hold, or in all
that we've thrown away,
1t is sure in the end to come to this
that there was a price to pay.
We pay it for love and peace, for
cheer and comfort and song;
We pay for SHINING and going astray,
we pay it for doing wrong.
In all that we are or seem, in glad
ness or grief or pain,
We are always paying the price for
the things that we lose or gain.

states still lack compulsory education.
No doubt some of them will have com
pulsory military training before com
pulsory education comes in.
1t is every bit as important to take
the life of poor child out of the
generally unsympathetic, often brutal
and always stupid hand Of charity and
put it back in the home where it be-
longs, as it was to prevent charity
from usurping our educational system.
I am for Judge Neil's proposition
