THE DAY.
BY JULIET WILBoR ToMPKlNS
Of the Vidilantss.

BY JULIET WIL1oR ToMPKlNs
Of the vioiiantss.
It will come some day-do you rea.
lie it? On some one glorious day the
enemy will cry, "Kameradw in good
earnest, and there will be peace.
Picture that day. The crowds in the
streets are going about their business,
the Red Cross rooms are humming
with work, the thousand war activities
are grinding at full speed, every moth
er and father is facing the morning
with heart braced for loss, every
loyal citizen is at his post Of service !;
and suddenly the newsl
The crowded avenues turn white :;
all up and down their length they have
blossomed white with the open news
papers that have magically sprung in
to every ones outstretched hands.
Everybody in the long, stopped stream
Of humanity holds newspaper or
reads his neighbours; everybody knows
everybody, shares with everybody {;
strange hands clasp, strange eyes,
meeting, overflow; and there is just
one first thought, not triumph, nor
democracy, but Those boys-those
good boys-they can come home u
And the second thought will be, "We've
done it! We've put it through"
And then, standing there, they begin
to sing, the men with barred heads ;
they send up such a song as the skies
have never heard since time was
"Glory, glory, hallelujah !'-"Praise
God, from whom all blessings flow r
The melting pot is slow process
that song will melt all into blood
brothers at the first chord. Oh, how
they will sing, those standing men and
women! And then with one impulse
they will surge into the churches, into
the Standardization when man has
been granted the supreme boon, he
must fall on his knees, whether he
knows God or not. And no one who
rises up from that silence will ever
lose its mighty vibration.
That day is not a vision; it is CON-
ing as surely as tomorrow. Then will
you have it tomorrow? Or will yoc
put it off for four more bleeding years
It Is in your hands. Every effort,
every dollar, you give to service, short
ems the waiting. IF all gave all they
could, the day could not hold back an
other hour. When you buy the things
you most want, you are not conscious
Of sacrifice in paying the sum de-
manded. Fix your eyes on the day
the day when the avenues will sudden
~ blossom white with the news of
peace-and you will want that with SO
burning an urgency that you will come
running with its price.
