THE DONATED DOLLAR.

Have you ever watched a crowd of
orphans at play on the recreation
grounds of their institutions or en-
gagged at their lessons in their school
room? You will find them, boys and
girls, welI-clad, happy, and in the
main, wholesome and healthy-looking,
says the Pittsburgh Observer.
If you have never contributed a dol
lar to their upkeep you are certain to
experience a feeling of self-reproach
at your spiritually criminal negligence
or your no less spiritually criminal
passivity. So far as you are con-
Cerned these parentless, destitute
youngsters might never have been
rescued from their deplorable condi-

self to be a rank outsider having

DIVIDENDS FROM LEISURE.

The profitable employment of lei
sure brings an excess dividend on
which there is no income tax.
A few evenings ago some 1900 dis
charged soldiers, sailors and marines
received certificates showing that
they had employed their evening
hours in attending the vocational
schools conducted for them, free, by
the Knights of Columbus.
That the Knights of Columbus, hav-
ing been with the boys during the war,
should remain their helping friend in
their struggle back to security in civil
life was not surprising. The history
of the order in service and sacrifice
has made it's establishment of free
schools and employment agencies for
the ex-service men a natural, although
a much to be commended, deed.
In the evening schools, however, the
order struck upon an especially happy
and effective way of helping the men.
1t gave them the opportunity of CAPT
reaping the unreasonable and untaX-
able dividends.
One of the certificates issued shows
its recipient had spent. since the
schools opened five months ago, ia
hOurs-every one of them sacrifice
of playtime and fun-attending class
in commercial law. Other certificates
showed that other lads had spent their
playtime in other studies.

part of this world of love and faith.
Oh! if she could only be again the
innocent, guileless girl who had lived
such happy days at old st. Michael's!
Sister Margaret came smilingly in.
She was a delicate-looking woman,
who at 40 had the sweet, untroubled
face Of a young girl, and an mex
haustible fund of sympathy and ten
derness. She was unfeignedly glad to
see Jerry and said nothing whatever
about the long interval since she had
seen her. She inquired about her
trifle tired, and for a while amused
her with talk of the Convent, and of
her school of unruly boys. But, after
a while, she led her to talk of her
self.
Something is troubling you,' she
said, and the keen, kindly eyes search
ed the white, weary face of the girl.
She gently carressed Jerry's small,
restless hands while the whole, sorry
story, so little to tell and so much to
endure was poured out. Her face
was gave, but her voice was very,
very tender, as she talked of dan
ger that was over, and of a courage
that would be given her.
You must pray" she told her ear
nestly. you have been careless-no,

suffering. We always suffer when we
stay away from God, but we are hap

your heart and come close to God

no happiness but peace"

Jerry's dark eyes were overrunnins

she whispered bravely:

This absolute inability to be comfort
able-even physically comfortable
unable to read! What could you do
when you could not read?
She tried to think of something else
and succeeded! She remembered
mornings when she had half-awaked
to remember the night before, to
dream with luxurious sleepiness of
something Laurie had said, some way
sleep half wishing to stay awake and
dream, it was so sweet. And now she
was wide awake and sleep was mil
lion miles away.
The light grew brighter, then the
sun came streaming in. 1t was go
ing to be glorious day. Why must
it be fine? She wished it had rained.
And then resentfully she got up and
dressed-at half-past seven. Would it
always be like this?
That day, rather shamefacedly, for
it had been a long time since she had
done such thing, Jerry slipped into
| the great, dim Cathedral at noon for
a little visit. Vaguely something
within her longed for it's quiet, COM
| forting peace Contemptuously she
told herself: you are a selfish
wretch-what good do you expect
prayer to do you now? When you are
happy and everything is going smooth
| ly, you go along and think as little of
| God as you can; then something goes
wrong, and you come sneaking back
for comfort. Be a sport, stand up and
take your medicine"
| So her prayer was strange mix
ture-one side of her pleading like a
scornful and naughty, would not sue
for the peace she had not asked for
when she was happy.
| But in that quiet quarter of an hour
a strange desire was born to go and
| see Sister Margaret again. 1t had
| been a long time since she had WIS.,
tied her. 1t had been long time
since she had given a thought to any
one but Laurie she remembered with
a throb of conjunction.
She went that evening. AS she
was shown into the quiet convent par.
lor, she felt it's restfulness almost
poignantly-as place where she
could not breathe. It was blessed
ness to which she felt she had nc
right The same feeling she had had
in the church at noon. She had shut
herself out deliberately, and yet now
her heart cried out desperately fol

reason to feel immensely proud of
your work.
The charity dollar is miracle money

known to the goldbeater's art.
You who have not forgotten the

MY MOTHERS MEMORY.

There is one bright star in heaven
Ever shining in my night;
God to me one guide has given
Like the sailors beacon light.
Set on every shoal of danger,
Sending out it's warning ray
To the home-bound, weary stranger
Looking for the land-locked bay.
In my farthest, widest wanderings
| have turned me to that love,
AS a diver meath the water,
Turns to watch the light above.

And my joy cannot hide,
For I've watched him from the cradle
With fathers honest pride.

And my heart is ever singing:

MIST AND SUNSHINE.

They sat in one of those quaint,
little stalls in a quiet tea-room which
was modelled on an old English inn,
a striking pair-the man a young
Adonis, contrasted piquantly with the
slim daintiness of the little maiden
in the wide nat in the shadow of
which glowed a pair of wonderful
eyes.
At this moment, the eyes were in
finitely sad, her whole pose and ex-
preston were wistful beyond words
and the attitude of the man was
gloomy and morose, which, in a man,
often stands for sadness. A man may
not look wistful, therefore, he looks
as though he would like to devour the
world.

the dean, Principal William J. Began;

all of the faculties and executives also
had given their recreation time to
these schools, having done for them
when their regular days work was
finished.
The vision which planned these
schools for the conversion of leisure
into vocational and educational prog
ress; the earnest men who made the
vision a reality, and the ambitious
young men, fresh from the khaki and
blue of noble sacrificial service, who
gave that vision it's fruitage, all are to
be commended. The nation will be
the better and the stronger for such
men.
In September these schools will re-
open to receive thousands of former
fighters and teach them the profitable
employment of their otherwise idle
hours. Principal Began told the
graduates that he wanted them al
back and wanted them to bring theil
