And tho within II no birds sing.
And tho no pillared house is there.
And tho the apple bouahs are bare
OF fruit and blossom, would to God
Her feet upon the green grass trod
And beheld them as before.
There comes murmur from the shore,
And In the place two fair streams are
Drawn from the purple hills afar.
Drawn down into the restless sea;
The hills whose flowers ne'er fed the bee.
The shore no ship has ever seen,
still beaten by :he billows green
Whose murmur comes increasingly
Unto the place for which cry.
For which cry both day nnd night.
For which let slip all delight
That maketh me both dsaf and blind.
Careless to win. unskiiled to find.
And quick TO lose what oil men seek.
Yet totterins as am and weak.
still have I left a little breath
To seek within the Jaws OF death
An entrance to that happy place
To seek the unforsotten face
Once seen, once kissed. once reft from me
hnigh the murmurinss Of the sea.

CAR MOVED QUICK.

Binks had listened TO so much talk
about hard times and soft poeketbooks
that he didn't expect 10 be able to find
anyone to buy his 1918 model--so
that he could get a new car.
And when everybody he tackled on
the subject threw up their hands and
let down the corners of their mouths.
he thought that was just the natural
course of events.
His wife had all the optimism in
the Binks family--she said there must
be somebody in Wilmington who
wanted the old car, but her husband
told her she didn't understand these
things and that people simply weren't
buying, at all.
When she suggested an ad in the
classified section of Every Evening
next day, he told her that was all
foolishness. but after while he
quieted down and decided to try an
adjust to show his wife she was
wrong
And then he called 2200.
Two days later Binks had his order
in for a new car, and Mrs. Binks just
smiled. She never once said at told
you so" but then--her husband came
right out and admitted he could have
sold his car. through an Every Even
ing ad long ago.

WESTWARD no!

When the homesteaders OF an ear
lier generation struck out for the
West to overcome a wild land reopled
by savages and separated by weary
miles of inhospitablc country from
the homes they left to put their for
tunes to the test in virgin acres they
cut themselves Off from all of civiIlza-
tIon exceht the fragments of its com
forts and conveniences they could
carry with them in their prairie
schooners. The men carried rifles
for human enemies as well as for
game. The wagon train was formed
into a hollow square at night, an
armed camp against lurking enemies
The trail was marked by the whiten-
ing bones of domestic animals which
fell by the wayside. often n rude
cross marked the sepulchre OF some
pioneer. man or woman, who had
gone a longer journey while making
the trip.

lievcd that ne will-he will receive
possibly the greatest greeting cx-
tended to any foreign visitor since
the days when Pappa Jofrre and his
staff came to us in 1917. We have
always liked to know that the men
who led our boys were more than ef-
flcient fighters; we have rcjoiced
that they ALSO were Christians---and
gentlemen. Our own history IL pe-
culiarly rich in this type of man. There
was Washington. praying at Valley
Forge: Grant holding his silent COM
munions in hts tent; the knightly Lee
battle. And II you wish To come to
the present time. there Is General
Leonard Wood, the man who sent two
divisions overseas with this advice:
Keep the commapdments of Almighty
God. boys, and never do a trick In
this country or overseas that you
can't tell your mother about when
you come home.". -. Foch will be
peculiarly welcome, because he em-
bodies those qualities OF military
genius and Christian leadership which
we like b see combined in those mea
to whom we give the wreath OF immor-I
tality.

THE FAITH OF FOCH.

An inquisitive person once asked
Marshal Foch how he planned his
battles.
80, smoke my pipe. and then at
tack" he replied casually.
Those who were so privileged as to
be close to the Generalissimo during
war time say that he did smoke his
pipe frequently-a lopsided briar which
truly had been made in France. But
those persons also tell another story
of that last week in November, 1918
when the sledge hammer blows di-
rected from the Allied headquarters
were pushing Won Hindenburg's line
back.
Each morning, after reading the
latest dispatches from the front, Foch
left his headquarters and went into
a little Catholic church nearby: There,
for more than hour, he prayed on
bended knee. This, mind you, is no
fairy story of the war. no legend
handed down by some imaginative per-
son. IT is fact, told by his own men
who were with him and actually wit
messed his actions. And Foch him
self confessed later that it was his
faith in just God which caused him
to believe that he could win against
all obstacles.
The American Legion has invited
Foch TO come to America in the fall
and attend the annual convention OF
that body. Should the marshal ac-
