No Need to Grumble; Brace Up.

We still have many things to be
thankful for. We see many hopeful
signs. The winter was ideal! Grain
was never more promising! The
spring is early! Much land has been
plowed! Seeds still germinate and
produce each after it's kind! Cows
still give milk! Hogs still increase
and grow fat! The hens still lay
eggs and attend to their brood!
Grasses still grow in the pastures
without cultivation! Work is still
the greatest boon on earth! Good
work is as valuable as it ever was
and. receives it's rewards! Wrong
still gets it's punishment through
it may be little delayed! God
still rules in the Heavens-though
His Kingdom on earth has gotten
very much out of order! Let's get
busy to see it aright-and there will
be still more hope for the future!-

Thou art gone, Oh! precious father,
From this world of pain and care.
To home where all is glory,
And shall dwell forever there!
Oh so much we daily miss thee
Nothing can our loss restore,
But some cloudless, happy morning
We shall meet to part no more.
Yes, some day, with trials over,
Where no sin and death can come,
Songs of praise we'll sing together
With our blessed Lord at home.
Thou art gone to be with Jesus,
In the happy home above,
And with the ransomed ones art sing
ing
Praises to the King of Love:
Children.

Georges proposal for an immediate meet
ing with Premier BRAND to discuss the
Silesian issue was rejected by the latter
yesterday, and it now appears that a
fortnight will elapse before formal inter
allied discussions are opened. In the
meantime. experts viii meet in Silesia
instead of Paris so that they can gather
first hand information on the ground of
the Polish German dispute.
Premier Lloyd George had suggested
that he meet Premier BRAND at BoulOgne
today or Thursday to take up the Sile-
sian matter The French premier did
not look with favor upon conference at
this time believing that the experts
should have an opportunity to study the
situation and make a detailed report
upon which the premiers and the supreme
council could work.
The British premier had suggested
that. if France were unwilling to open
the discussions until the experts should
make a report. the experts should then
be sent to Silesia at once.
