THE SQUIRRELS THANKSGIVING.

0 Thou who madest the gnarled old oak
And set the saucered acorns there,
And touched the grapes with tints of
smoke
Such as the autumn clusters wear;
And opens wide the thorny burr
With strong white fingers of the frost
And thickenS all my coat of fur
Each thread thing of silk and gloss!
O Thou who dwellest in the grove
And shakes the branches with Thy gale,
And scatters in the leafy cove
Brown chestnuts thick as summer hail;
And bends the stately pine-tree down
With pendant cones of green and gray,
And scatters far the milk-weed down
On winds hat in the autumn play;
O Thou, who draws Thy hand across
The naughty rivers of the earth
And stills their flowing meath the floss
OF winter snow and chill and dearth;
And wakes again to bud and bloom
The spangled braneh and meadow herb!
o Thou art with me in the gloom
OF followed boughs where none dis
turb;
O Thou art in the thistle sheen
That wraps my curled gray form about,
And Thou art in the warmth ween
That shuts the zeroed chill without;
And Thou art in the shag -bark's shell
That have gathered for my store;
The beech-nuts from the mountain dell
And spicy buds outside my door!
o Thou, so kind to all Thou'st made
In earth and beloved cloud and sea,
l come all frail but unafraid
And give my humble thanks to Thee!

RE- ARMAMENT

Not all the armor forged by man, not
all the weapons he has made for his de-
fence, have saved him.
Ships and guns, poisonous fumes,
deadly engines of the skies and the
waters, have availed for the moment,
not to make the old world better, but to
make the new world worse.
The incense of valor and sacrifice and
death-all honor and reverence to the
noble spirits who made these immortal
offerings!-has risen from the affairs, aud
not yet is the world re born.
Therefore, it is that man, wounded,
bleeding, burdened, staggering, fumbles
at the buckles that bind the weight of
his armor on his back, longing to cast it
off, and wondering if they that take the
sword must after ali perish by the sword.
Shall he then throw away all his weap-
ons of conquest snd defence2
There is one armor that the world of
men and women, as a world, has never
put on. The churches have long bungled
with it's fastenings, but the world has
in whose hands the mystical sword of
the spirit has shone with daily use.
This armor, waiting to be worn, is the
sword of unselishness, conquering
sword, with the power, when used, to
unite the world in love. And there are
none who may not put it on.
A dream of the poets? Yes But there
are dreams that come true. Even now
the poets voice is merged and drowned
in the universal cry, Disarm. The pru-
dent and fearful hold back, and ask,
'Disarms and stand defenceless?" The
answer comes, to all single answer

armor, not yet tried."-M. A. Dewolft
