THE RED CROSS NURSE.

She hath done what she could.-Mark 14-S)
l want to draw picture
And write measured verse
About noble woman
The faithful Red Cross Nurse
She is a loyal creature
With voice low and sweet
Who does her deeds of mercy
In battle-smoke and heat.
Her heart is brave and tender
Her feet are swift to go
Along the paths of mercy
To tighten another's woe.
Her eyes so dark and tender
Shine with holy light
AS she gives her timely service
All thru the wakeful night.
But this brave and loyal woman
With heart so full of love
Does her task without a murmur
Guided by that hand above
For she has left her kindred
And given up her ease
To toll for God and Freedom
Beyond the rolling seas.
If but had fluent tongue
Or could write master verse
I'd write a noble epigram
To the faithful Red Cross Nurse.
I'd write it high upon the scroll
Where lasting fame is found
In order that needless world
Might catch its wondrous sound
I'd tell about her deeds of love
Amid the shot and flame
And clothe my words in sweetest praise
AS l spoke her honored name
Upon loves tablet 1 would write
Her name so true and good
And use the words that Jesus used
She hath done what she could"

One of the changes we have al

the Jewish people of our nation.
Their attiture has been most re-

AS Congressman Chandler said in a

Every civilized nation on this
globe is under a heavy debt of
gratitude to the Jews for their mar
Vicious contributions to the uplift of
mankind and to the civilization of

when this frightful war is over and
the representatives of these civil

penalty that she must pay. The
trainers of the treaty of peace that
shall conclude this war should not

rights as free citizens in every land

A CHOICE.

A Paradise above. or pit below;
But this Is clear to me: That 'twixt

A place Of Joyous Service or Of Rue.
I'd rather keep my eye on heights

Where shall find sure hints of things

Than looking downward see but hate

To the exclusion OF all gracious cheer.
