IN MFMORIANf

In memory Of our dear one, Charles Brooks
who departed this life April Z, lolS'
How long he struggled against disease,
Which baffied skill and care;
And long he fingered, wracked with PAIN
And suffering hard to bear.
Yet through all times he smiled,
a smile Of heavenly birth,
And when the angels called him home.
He smiled goodbye to earth.
Heaven retaineth new my treasure,
Earth the lovely casket keeps,
And sunbeams love TO linger,
Where my sainted boy sleeps.
Sadly Missed by His Wife and Children.

Whether this was possible, It was
declared, depends chiefly on the British

they can agree on the various prob

uearer.
Tho Americans. however. were the
original peace date forecasters. naming
March 20, March %, then April I. on
the basis OF the American conclusions
an agreement appeared possible on
each OF those dates. 4 settlement has
been since delayed far beyond the
American forecast obviously through
no fault of the Americans.

Torch of One,s Own.

As Plutarch tells us, "It is we'll to go for a light to another mans fro but not to tarry by it, instead of light. ing a torch of ones own." A torch of ones own! That is possession worth having, whether it be flaming beacon on the hilltop or a tiny taper in the window. We cannot tell how far little candle throws its beams, nor who is laying his course by its flickering light. The most that we can do-~and it is also the least that we should do-is to tend the flame care' fully and to keep it steady.-Brandet Matthews.
