And saw below me, warmly calm and
still,
A plain all dotted DER with tlocks

And garden-spots wrapped in the
golden haze
OF days to come dreamed a dream
last night,
And saw world all touched with
rosy light,
And little children playing in the sun,
With bits of steel that once had been
gun
Building them into toys, with laughter
l dreamed, and 1 awoke, and it was
day
A pallid day, and war screamed in
the air,
And there was pain and sorrow every
where;
And cannon-sounds came signing DER
the sea,
And crept into the weary heart of me!
The New Year dawns, and war is on
the land,
And Want and Fear stand waiting
hand in hand;
Yet. past the strife, my searching
eyes can see
The golden dream that came last
night to me,
And l can see the fields of vivid
grain;
And l can hear the children laugh
again;
And / can see Q world aglow with
light;
For, 10, l dreamed a dream Of Peace

X. OF c. SECRETARIES
ACT As GODFATHERS.


Knights of Columbus secretaries
are expected to act as general god
fathers to the men in the service,
according to a recent statement IS
sued by the organization headquar-
ters in New York.
Parents of men in the service
write to the secretaries, asking them
to supply the home comforts lack
ing in the usual military camp.
The men are requested by 'mothcr"
to see that some boy receives the
little attention to which he had
been accustomed, and the X. of
c. secretary generally proceeds to
see that that particular boy gets
the something" his mother wanted
him to have.
"Write to mother" placards are
posted in every K. of C: hut, urg-
ing the men to take few minutes
to drop the home folks line.
Sometimes the secretary receives
word from some mother asking him
to get her boy to write home more
frequently, and the secretary takes
the matter up with the erring sold
ier son.
