many times found himself doing work
where a tool of this kind would be

useful and in spite of the somewhat

not be very difficult to make.

before where objects requiring large

The celebrated hymn, "From Green
lands Icy Mountains" was composed in
1919 at Wrexham, England, by Reginald
Heber. On Whitsunday of that year, pr.
Shipley, Vicar of Wrexham was to preach
a sermon on behalf of the Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel, and on the pre-
vious Saturday night, asked Heber, his
son-in-law, to "write something for them
to sing in the morning" In a very few
moments he produced the hymn which is
now so we'll known all over the world.

HOPE

You might have had your share of grief
While struggling on through life;
You might have had ambitions
And lost them in the strife;
You may have known starvation
And hungry gone to bed;
You may have lost some tender heart
And mourn her now as dead;
You might have felt the burning tears
Brought on by true remorse;
Your dreams may have been shattered
Unknown to you-the course;
Hill life rolls on-you in the chase
Will walk, will trott, will lope
Until your dieing breath has past
There's something keeping you- "it's
Hope"
A widows home, in dire need,
A table, cot and chair,
An ailing child, mother, broke,
A doctor, leaving there
No hope he says, her pulse too weak
She cannot live till day.
He wipes tear away in haste
And turns and goes away.
The woman staggers to the cot
And by the broken chair
She folds her hands and on her knees
To heaven sends her prayer
All mighty Father, You alone
Can make her pulses trobe
And God has heard-and baby lives
Through Mothers Faith-and "Hope."
You are feeling blue, abandoned, lost
No interest in life :.
You may be parted from your home
Your loved ones child and wife
Your mother, father, sister, friend,
Not one you may have near
And yet, you know, deep in their heart
Your memories are dear.
There'll come time, when you'll be free
And >homeward bound you'll strole;
A better man, to strive again
And reach out for the goal.
In places, where you once have failed
Stretch Faith as safety rope
And walk the straight and narrow path
And keep up-Hope, Hope, Hope.

OLDEST HARP IN THE WORLD

What is said to be the oldest harp in the
world is preserved at the Louvre Museum
in Paris. 1t was found in an Egyptian
tomb and is nearly 1000 years old. In
his interesting booklet on the harp, Sir
Robert Hadfeld, the steel magnate, who
has made study of the history of the in
strument, mentions that Ireland's most
famous harp is now in Trinity College,
Dublin. This belonged to the Irish mon
arch, Brian Borumba, who came to the
throne in 1905 A. D. An extraordinary
incident in the history of the instrument
concerns its presentation by King Brian's
son, Donagh, to the Pope of that time,
John XVIII. For while the harp was
deposited in the Vatican, being ultimately
sent by Pope Leo x to King Henry VIII,
with the title of defender of the Faith"
written under the crown, which was of
massive gold. By Henry VIII's orders the
harp was then adopted in the national
arms of Ireland and represented on the
Irish coins.-Ex.

WHAT?

What is good and what is bad
Can anybody tell'
What is right-and what is wrong
What is Heaven or He'll?
What is pleasure-and what is pain
What is sorrow-or strife
What is love--and what is hate
What is death-or life?
These are nought but the growth of a
AS seed we drop in the soi+-
Sending down rootet and sending up
shoot,
Growing with infinite toll
Kissed by the sunshine and bathed by the
dew,
Nourished by subsoil and rain,
Blasted by weather and broken by storm,
Yet always coming again.
Then why is it better or why is it worse
If blossom be yellow or blue
Growing in sunlight or growing in shade,
Each to its nature true?
The roots are as worthy as leahet or
flower,
. Though hiding themselves in the sod
And what we call evil-what we call sim
Is rooted in Life and God.
