AS ONE WHOM
A MOTHER COMFORTETH
Isaiah, LXVL., 49,

Isaiah, LAVL., 49,
He came to you with quivering lip
And laid his little head upon your
knee,
And showed in fear his tiny finger
bruised.
You kissed the spot, and to your
mother heart
You held him close till love had heal
ed the pain,
And he was off to romp and play
again.
He came to you in stony grief,
His Joy had fed, the world had bruis-
ed his heart;
And unashamed, within those shelter
ing arms
Young manhood told the tale none
else might hear.
Within your love embodied, to him
came
Again fresh courage and surcease
from pain.
But when life's greatest trial by him
was met,
You were not there. Upon the battle
field
Or slippery deck, alone, he faced that
foe
Whom mortals. dread. But he was un-
afraid,
For One was with him then on whom
he leaned
And from whose shining eyes loves
radiance beamed.
GAS one whom his mother comforteth
So will l comfort you; so will | COM
fort you.
Through the dark vale which men
call death, dear one,
You travel not alone. Give me your
hand;
Upon this bosom rest your weary
'Tis 1, be not afraid" the sweet voice
said.
o mother heart, so sorely tried,
The love you richly gave was not In
vain,
For in those accents mild he heard
your voice;
Upon your breast he leaned-a child
again;
And when the darkness came, with
fleeting breath
The voice that whispered "God" called
your dear name.
He is not dead who gave his life
That other men might live from ty.
rants free.
He is not dead who fell in such g
cause,
But in our hearts fore'er enshrineC
shall be;
And safe from all, from all that hurts
Or harms,
He rests within the Everlasting
Arms"

American college athletes will find
something to think about in this. A
prominent Glasgow medical man who
has just returned from professional
visit to the front in France says that
professional football players are not
wanted in the trenches, and explains
that this is so because their endur-
ance is less than one-third of that Of
the ordinary soldier taken from the
desk or the farm or the shop. He at
tributes this to the fact that they
have been SO long tuned" to the
highest pitch to take part in the
game. In addition, their nerves are
so. acute that they cannot stand gum
fire, as can the ordinary man. The
doctor says at is like linking up a

One of the "inside lines" upon
which Germany moves in this war is
her ability to run below the higher
moral standards and the greater lib
critics of her opponents. She can
bomb schools and hospitals, unde-
Tended cities and crowded tenements
and sink passenger, relief and hospf-
tai ships without warning in compar-
alive security that like barbarities
will not be practieed against her. In
the second, or economic, line of de-
tense Germany also profits by her
willingness to use more primitive and
barbarous weapons. She cuts down
French orchards, loots Belgian CO.
operatives and factories, and levies
tribute on cities, enslaves even wom-
en- and young girls and introduces an
thrax germs into Roumanian herds,
secure in the fact that she is moving
in neolithic strata of civilization
into which the minds and morals of
her opponents do not penetrate.

prove something of boomerang, de-
spite the clever loopholes left for
