FORTTTUDE AND COURAGE.

There is something refreshing in the cable an
nouncements that come every and then from
London. that Premier Lloyd George, suffering from
overxork has been ordered TO take complete rest.
The refreshing part OF It IS to know that at least
now and then man in public life suffers from
overwork; that he is IN need OF complete rest.
Then IN a few days we read that the little
Welshman ia back on the job. again shouldering
the greatest burden that any British premier has
been cailed upon TO carry for many generations.
There seems TO be limit to, the staying and
recuperative powers Of the marvellous man who is
guiding the destlnies of the British empire dur
ing these trying years.
He Is the only statesman in a position of author
ity IN any of the great nations who has survived
the war uLheaval. whose physical mental and
moral powers have proven equal 70 the tremendous
strain OF the past half dozen years
whether one agrees or disagrees with the Lloyd
George policies whatever position history may give
70 him. It IA doubtful whether his example of for
titude and courage has been equaled in the last so
years OF the worlds statesmanship.

GRIEFs ONLY MASTER.

Into the lives Of all
The tears of sorrow fall.
Into the happiest hearts
Grief drives her darts;
No door however stout
Can shut Deaths angel out.
Vain are the things we prize.
Treasure and pomp's disguise;
They cannot stay the tear
When the true griefs appear.
Where Death Will strike today
Gold cannot bar the way.
There IS no Joy secure.
No Ieace that shall endure.
No smile than man shall keep.
God wills that he must weep.
And in his darkest hour
Vain in all earthly power.
What. then. should guard the gate /?
How shall a man be great?
Through the dark DAYS and long.
What power shall make him strong >
Wherein does courage lie,
Since all he loves must die?
When sorrow binds his hands.
Helpless the strong man stands.
One master only grief
Bows TO. and that's belief
Faith that he'll some day know
Why God hath willed Il so.
