he had sinned but he remained firmly con-
WINGED of his own uprightness.
But, while he could justify himself in his
own sight he could not understand why it
was such hopeless condition had come to
him. And ever, as the arguments against
his integrity grew more intense, his belief
in his own innocence grew more firm, de-
veloping the thought that there was some
manner of wisdom connected with his suf-
fering. When Job and his friends despaired
of reaching an agreement and of solving the
problem another friend, Elihu, offered true
solution of the matter.
He explained, and illustrated, that the
reason of affection was not alone to punish
but as often to strengthen. Sorrow and pain
are never the expression of an angry or i'm
placable Divinity but such action as low
ing father would pursue with his child that
its later years, of which its youth had no
understanding, might be of greater worth
and purpose.\ Job saw the truth and wis
dom of that explanation and accepted it as
applicable in his case. The poem ends
with Divine approval of Jobs acceptance
of his trials in such spirit. The story is
completed by an epilogue showing Job re-
stored to double his former prosperity and
happiness.

What Library War Service
Means

The Library War Service of the American
Library Association was completely organic
ed within a few months after the entrance
of the United States into the world war.
Within few days after a state of war was
declared the president of the association ap-
pointed a War Service Committee which
made its first report at the annual conference
OF the association in June. At that time
arrangements were made with the Com
mission on Training Camp Activities to
give the American Library Association full
responsibility for providing library facilities
in all army camps and environments and in
naval stations.
Government recognition of the plan was
given when the Secretary of War appointed
ten widely known men and women to aid in
drive for funds to extend the public library
system to all men in the service. A million
dollars was asked for, and the public re-
Spouse was $500, 900 in excess of the sum re-
quested. In addition nearly 200, 900 books
we're donated.
In October, 1917, Dr.. Herbert Putnam,
Librarian of Congress, TOOK over the control
and direction of the War Service, and from
that time on the headquarters of the work
has been in the Library of Congress. Here
careful oversight of the work is kept. here
the funds are administered and accounting
is kept of every dollar of expenditure. Ad-
ministrative expenses have been kept at
minimum.
In the year and half of Library War
Service the Association can point to the fol-
lowing accomplishments: 1t has built and
put in operation Al library buildings. Of
these, So were built out of fund supplied
by the Carnegie Corporation, one was do
mated by friend who prefers to remain
anonymous, and three were constructed by
the Navy Department.

An carried the house whar he lived away,
Then earthquake come when that wuz

An swallered the land that the house

An tax collector, he come roun'
An charged him up for the hole in the

An said he wanted his street tax, too!

Did he grieve that his old friends failed
to call

Not him He climbed on top O. the hill

He soon went to sleep from pretended ex-
haustion, but the time-keepeer had hurried to
Mile 50 after the camp doctor, who came in
about midnight, and found the patient rest
ing comfortably without scratch or pain.
The crew had gone to bed, leaving the camp
turnkey to sit up with the unfortunate pa
tient with orders to call for assistance should
the patient awake and 60 off into another
spasm. The doctor, puzzled, asked the in
valid where he was hurt the worst, and the
latter smiled. winked, and whispered that
it was all frame up on his part to get even
with the boys for making fun of him.
The doctor was coming to the camp the
next day. anyway, so he humored the pa
tient by keeping up the farce till morning,
allowing him to break forth at irregular in
tervals during the remainder of the night
waking up the entire camp with weird;
haunting shrieks and dismal means.
The next day being Sunday, the perpe-
TRAITOR of the joke, after laughing till the
tears came, invited the entire crew to help
bring his game into camp. Everybody
accepted bis invitation except the turnkey,
who said that he ''didn't bleeve there was
nothin' up there to see bigger'n porcu-
pine" The bear was skinned and the hide
brought to camp, where, after being stretch
ed, it measured nine feet wide by eleven
feet long.
Bear hunting in Alaska might be good
sport, but, as l said before, there's too
much bear done up in one package.

An all the things as they used to be
In the days before war came or.
Yet time has changed both him an me,

Except the change in him an me,

An found me in the barn alone.
To some he might have looked the same.
But he was not the lad I'd known.
His soul, it seemed, had heard the call
As plainly as mortal can.
Before he spoke to me at all,
saw my boy become man.
l can explain just what occurred;
l sat an talked about it there;
The dinner-bell never heard,
Or if did, didn't care,
But suddenly it seemed to me
Out of the dark there came light,
An in new way could see
That was wrong an he was right.

He's fghtin' hate an greed an lust,
An here am 1, his dotin' dad.
Believin' in purpose just.

But now life's goal is all l see;
The petty thoughts I've put away
My boy has made man o me.

Archbishop Ireland

Minnesota has lost one of her best and
foremost citizens, and the entire world is
mourning the loss of one, known Internal
ionally as lover of men, with keen and
sympathetic understanding of his fellowmen.
John Ireland, Catholic prelate, was born
in Kilkenny, Ireland, Sept. IL. 1888. and
had passed his eightieth birthday at the time
of his death. Archbishop Ireland had been
in poor health for the past year and was
aware of the end.
When a mere lad he came to Minnesota
with his parents, who settled at St. Paul.
He was ordained priest at St. Paul in 1861.
Being an enthusiastic patriot, he cast his
lot with the soldiers in the civil war, as
their chaplain. He insisted on being one
of them, and was loved and honored by
every man in his regiment.
In 1875 he was ordained bishop and in
1883 became archbishop of St. Paul.
He was noted as a temperance advocate
and, an influential writer and controversial
list, being we'll versed in national affairs.
Among the many monuments of his &C
tivity are the cathedral at St. Paul, the Hill
Seminary for the education of priests al
Manchester, MINI. and the Catholic Univer-
sity at Washington.
The Church and Modern Society is one
of his best writings Tin two volumes) listed
in our library, Nos. 3903-04.
Thousands of Americans feel the loss o.
this great man keenly, and, not only the
church but the entire world has lost one o.
its most able advocates.

When He Went Away

Wind and rain and sleet,
Cloudy sky and gray
Seemed to be the end of time,
When he went away.
A sea of yearning faces,
Mothers, sweetheart, wives,
Chances seemed to cut me
Like dull jagged knives.
Sound of distant music,
Bugles faint and sweet,
Some one shouts, "They're coming!'
Silence rings complete.
Then, as though to save them,
There goes up cheer.
All the crowd is waving,
Forgetful of their fear.
Shutting slush of marching feet
The men in khaki clad,
Then, ooh, he has passed me"
My own lad.
Head SO quick uplifted
And for me a smile.
Dear God, send him back again,
After awhile!
