REPEATING.

TT is safe to say that nearly all people
| dislike hearing the unpleasant things
u that have been said about them. And
yet among them there are many who well
come the repetitions and who encourage
the repeaters. The qualification of their
curiosity is greater than their love of their
own tranquility. They help to keep the
practice alive The others, too, help to
keep it alive by pretending that they don't
mind. The correct thing to do, they seem
to feel, is to act as if they were amused
Their efforts are sometimes rather pitiful
Even while they are forcing themselves
to smile their faces betray their real feel
ings.
Those who welcome such repetitions are
the born quarrelerS. Some of them will
even show a certain relish in hearing that
they have been criticized. Their vanity
makes them prefer being criticized to be-
ing ignored. Yet all of them are likely
to become angry and to strike back, say
ing things that may later be repeated by
the mischief makers and enabled to reach
their target. In this way communities
are kept in more or less continual tur-
moil The practice explains why it is SO
hard for human beings to live together
in peace and harmony
There are those who go through life
making disagreeable personal remarks
They do good deal of mischief. But
they would be far less dangerous if they
didn't secure so much cooperation from
the repeaters. 1t is the repeaters who
enable them to send their remarks to the
places where they will do the most dam
age. For, as a rule, they have not sufi-
cient daring to say these disagreeable
thinpS to the faces of their victims Or
the contrary, in most instances, if they
were to meet their victims face to face
they would be very pleasant.
'sBut oughtn't such people to be ex.
posed?" one may ask. AS a matter OF
fact they are exposed. They expose them.
selves. There is nothing in the world

CHRIST IN FLANDERS.

We had forgotten You, or very nearly
You did not seem to touch us very nearly
Of course we thought about You low
and then:
Especially in any time OF trouble
We knew that You were good in any time
of trouble
But we are very ordinary men,
And there were always other things to
think Of
There's lots of things man has got to
think Of
His work his home, his pleasure and
his wife:
And so we only thought of You on Sunday,
Sometimes, perhaps, not even on a Sunday
Because there's always lots to fill ones
life.
And all the while, in street or lane or by
In country lane or city street or by-way-
You walked among us and we did not see.
Your feet were bleeding as You walked
our pavements-
How did we miss Your footprints on our
pavements? ?
Can there be other folk as blind as we!
Now we remember; over here in Flanders,
ut isn't strange to think of You in Flan-
ders)-
This hideous warfare seems to make
things clear.
We never thought about You much in
England
But now that we are far away from Eng
We have no doubts, we know that You
are here.
You helped US pass the jest along the
trenches
Where, in cold blood, we waited in the
You touched it's ribaldry and made it
You stood beside us in our pain and weak
ness
We're glad to think You understand our
weakness
Somehow it seems to help us not to
whine.
We think about You kneeling in the
garden
All, God the agony of that dread garden
We know You prayed for US upon the
Cross.
If anything could make us glad to bear it
'Twould be the knowledge that You willed
Pain-death-th uttermost of human
loss.
Though we forgot You-You will not for
get us
We feel so sure that You will not forget
But stay with US until this dream is past.
And so we ask for courage, strength and
pardon
Especially, l think, we ask for pardon
And that You'll stand beside us to the
last.

MATCHES

MATCHES
The world is cursed today with the
temperamental match.
Formerly the match was big,
husky silver of wood with a head full
of fire and birthstone. It was hair
trigger match. One you could strike
anywhere and get results.
But matches today are different.
