the country road. He drove big au-
tomobile and the back seat was empty
The road was shadeless and dusty. This
is certainly a true story. The mercury
was creeping up and up. A party OF
tired, warm and dusty Boy Scouts was
plodding along the road. The boys or
as many of them as could were invited
to take a lift in the automobile which
passed them. Three Of them clambered
in. The village which was their next
destination was reached. The autoist
was going to the next town which was
their final destination. The Boy Scouts
were invited to ride the whole length.
They were delighted and settled back.
Small boys are naturally selfish. Re-
memter this and make allowances.
Then the spirit of share and share alike
crept into the midst of the contented
trio. One boy broke the ice. if such
it could be called on a hot day. He said
he didn't believe it was right for
them to ride while all the others had to
walk. Another of the boys said that II
the auto was going to the town and
if the driver was willing that he was
going to ride with him. 1t was all set
tied in that small boys mind. The
other 10y remained silent. The first boy
kept on voicing the calling of the spirit.
Freckles and straightforwardness march
hand in hand. This little shaver was
very freckled. And the auto was 60
ing toward the town. The drive was
slow one because the debate in the rear
seat was interesting. The driver knew
how it would come out. And the drlv-
er's bunch was correct. The three small
boys got out of the car. They thanked
the driver. Then they sat down under
a tree And the auto disappeared
around the curve.
Perhaps Mary limps about with

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders Fields
written by Colonel John McCrae. of
Guelph. Ontario. Can. killed in
France. 1879
In Flanders fields the peoples blow
Between the crosses, row on row.
That mark our place. and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly.
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn. saw sunset glow.
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take I'D our quarrel with the foe.
To you from falling hands we throw
The Torch-be yours to hold 1t high:
II We break faith with us who die.
We shall not sleep though peoples grow
In Flanders fields.
Who Now Lie in Flanders Fields
(Reply to poem written by Col. John
McCrae)
In Flanders Fields where poppleS grow.
Mayhap brave soldiers are laid low;
They'll sweetly rest and fear no fee;
They rest until the storm is past
For fiercer still will be the blast!
Till dark the clouds have rolled away
And ushered in the glorious day
For which Gods people long did pray:
Father Thy kingdom come
As in heaven SO on earth
Thy will be done"
