by Mr.. Bowlin that the Chautauqua meet
ings be held week days instead of on Sum-
days as at present.

No Hyphen in My Heart

To these broad shores my fathers came
From lands beyond the sea;
They left their homes. they left their friends
To breathe an air more free.
To them an alien land it seemed
With customs strange and new,
But my heart knows just one dear flag,
The Red, the White, the Blue.
Columbia, to me thou'st been
A mother fond and true;
My hearts best love and loyal trust
gladly offer you.
Let others sing of native lands
Far FER the oceans foam
The spot where floats the Stars and Stripes
Shall ever be my home.
There is no hypheu in my heart,
1t can't be cut in two.
o flag of bars and silver stars,
I've given it all to you.

From Oar Exchanges
Nests

NESTS
As dear to me as dreaming buds
That wait the call of spring,
Are nests-so surely built
Though high they swing
Or cupped in grassy sod)
Upon manifest design
That spells the tenderness of God.
Heart-whispered to each nesting bird,
The marvellous design
That every need foresees;
Soft down to line
The wonder-woven nests,
And gentle wings whose brooding
warmth
Love lights within the mothers breast.
Enhanced, watch the furtive bird,
Alert of ear and eye,
To guard her secret nook;
AS swift to spy
A vagrant wisp of hay or straw,
An idle thread, or Seeding down
Whose kindly chance is hidden law.
Then in and out she weaves her dream,
With ecstasy of art,
That caught its quickened pulse
From lifting heart.
For all the miracle is done
To music from her mate afar,
Whose ruse would hide their dreams
are one.
Methinks that any genial tree
Would feel friendly glow
When questing birds light near
And twitter low:
"Ah, here's the very, very best;
On this old comfy, crotched bough
Well snugly hide away our nest.''
love to think the leaves are taught
To sing their lullabies
To hefp the mother close
The fedgliug's eyes.
And pensively, perhaps, as 1,
A tree may watch the dwindling
brood,
When one by one they learn to fly.
A tender drama, brother tree,
We've watched the season-long,
From loves full wooing note
To farewell song;
In it such sacred writ I've found.
l almost hear, "Take off thy shoes,
For here, in truth, is holy ground. -

The Cross still Stands for Right
Against ungodly Might;
Gods love is that Eternal Light
That shines forever,

Though man despairing die,
Though earth doth Christ still cruelty
The Cross stands ever,
Failing never,
Love to glorify.
Unchanged from what it meant
To that first penitent-
Symbol of Love Omnipotent-
The Cross stands ever,
Failing never,
OF His Great Intent.
Gods Love to testify,
Mans faith to justify,
All life and death to dignity
The Cross stands ever,
Failing never,
Of its sovereignty.
Gods Love hung on The Tree;
Christ died, for you and me;
Christ rose again, for you and me;
So Love lives ever,
Failing never,
Through eternity.

Home

home
Tiny thing and hidden,
My cottage meath the green,
With many friends unbidden
And many friends unseen.
There's hardly any indoors;
The trees Though old and gray)
And flowers at the windows,
All tempt me out to play.
The sun looks in at day break
And then his work begins,
For daily round my cottage
His golden web he spins
And little bugs don't worry,
They're lady bugs, you know
And bees who always hurry,
And Big Bug So-and-So.
The birds are most loquacious;
They own the house and me;
If they increase-well-gracious!
Then I'll take to the tree!
And look! With stealth and Cunning.
The thoughts come on the wing,
To set my brain a-humming
And urge me on to sing.
Still, friends will fret about me,
I'm so alone they say!
And l wish most devoutly
They might be half as gay!

Ambition

= If you would rise above the throng
And seek the crown of fame.
You must do more than drift along
And merely play the game
Whatever path your feet may tread
Whatever be your quest,
The only way to get ahead
Is striving for the best.
IT'S not enough to wish to do
A days toll fairly we'll;
If you would rise to glory, you
Must hunger to excel.
The boy who has the proper stuff
Goes into every test,
Not seeking to be "good enough"
But eager to be the "best."
Aim high! And though you fail toda!
And may tomorrow fail,
Some day you'll hit the nail.
At no halfway mark ever pause
In snug content to rest
Who would win honor and applause
Must want to be the best.
The best must be your aim in life,
The best in sport and work,
Success in any form of strife
Falls never to the shirk.
The crowns leadership are few,
The followers move in throngs,
If you would be leader, you
Must shun the drift alongs.'
