JOYFUL BELLS

hear the joy bells ringing today,
They seem to whisper to my soul;
Wont you come with out delay
And make your home in the fold?
l hear the joy bells ringing today,
They are ringing as never before;
There is no price you have to pay,
Only that you must sin no more.
I hear the joy bells ringing today,
But not as loud and clear
As before, they seem to say:
"You will miss getting over there"
do not hear the joy bells ringing today
AS / did many years ago;
Now as l weep, cannot say,
Like others say, ~ did not know"
1t is misery not to hear those BELLS
In this life where we have a choice
To get cool drink at the wells
And to sit and listen to His voice.
| now strain my ears to hear
Just one note of the sound so sweet;
Bring Him your burdens to bear
And follow at His feet.
l came to the altar and cried
Out of my heart to Him to forgive;
For l had sinned and lied
And now wanted to live.
Not the old life over again
With all the wrong had done;
Not like>the life l lived in vain
But to hear His voice say "well done"
But when l fully consecrated all
TO Him on the altar of love,
Though | may stumble and fall,
I'll keep my eyes on Him above.
Once more the joy bells ring in my soul
Bringing the glad tidings to me;
| can now almost reach the goal;
was blind but now l see.

LISTENING

Listening, forever listening,
When a babe in the cradle YOU lie,
For the voice of the loving mother
Singing tender lullaby
Is it the words of the song,
That drives away your fears?
Is it the tune that is sung,
That turns to laughter your tears?
No, not the words or the rhythm
But the spirit, soothes you to sleep
While angels hover DER you,
Your soul in sweet Number to keep.
Listening forever listening,
Though far removed from the scene,
In a silent and woeful city,
While many years intervene.
Hush, can it be there's a message
In the muff1ed tread of the guard,
Or is the silence oppressive,
Why do listen so hard?
All! once more l am longing
For the spirit to lead me on,
That still, small voice within me
That speaks, when the tumult is gone.
Listening forever listening
Hark! to what the voice did say
Today is the day accepted
Oh throw it not away.
The world with all its pleasure
Is sham at the very best,
Take heed to the voice now willing
To give your aching heart a rest.
That which was so soothing,
In the long, long, ago,
Is the same voice now pleading,
For God, never changes you know.

So the time flies away accordingly.

REST YE IN PEACE
ITO Lieut.. Colonel McCrae)

Above Flanders fields where poppies grow,
Above the crosses, row on row;
The souls of men who fought and died,
Are marching onward side by side.
They've seen the wars eternal strife,
They've made the supreme sacrifice;
They gave their all, but not in vain
For right in end was sure to gain.
In answer to their pleading cry,
Break we not faith with us who die"
They saw men of all races come
To finish the fight which had but begun.
They saw who caught their flaming torch,
They saw it being carried forth;
To battle with mighty foe,
And in its light their faces glow.
Sleep, sleep, ye men of Flanders fields,
You've seen grim war and all it yields;
Rest we in peace we souls of men,
We've won the fight amen, amen.

I'VE SHALL NOT SLEEP"
"In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are the dead
Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw
sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe,
To you from falling hands we throw the
torch-be yours to hold it high;
If We break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields"

SMILE

Dreaming l were millionaire,
Trading in stocks on the curb,
"burr !"-what a shock,
The old alarm clock
My dream had to disturb.
Although l said "darn!"
l meant no harm
And smilingly jumped out of bed.
For a bath in the tub
And a frisky old rub
To find there was someone ahead
Of course felt sad
And perhaps bit mad
But smiled and did not complain
Swallowed my dose, got into my clothes
And made for the depot and train.
On the way caught sight
Of some suburbanite,
Like myself, he was city bound.
But again it was faith
We 60 there too late
For our train had departed we found.
Disappointment to mar
We bought cigar
When my friend after waiting awhile
My attention did call
To a sign on the wall
Which read: "Smile, darn you, smile!"
As it was my aim,
To the city l came
Although an hour too late,
And as matter of course
The whole office force
Required the "style" of my date.
To be sure l kept mum
While heard them hum
How quiet waters run deep
And fool he that tells
When his heart suddenly swells
As his eyes at some goddess peep.
Although it was rot
l was smiling at that,
To see people acting insane
Imagine It's love
When the truth from above
Could witness missed my train.
But such is the life
OF one without wife
Nor seeking matrimonial bliss
That his features will pale
In recounting the tale
How the 7:15 he'd miss.
Yet the worst of it all
Was receiving a call
From the boss, whom late coming would
rile,
And after spout
l heard him angrily shout
Get outflow dare you smile?
With my grin effaced
At his features l gazed
To read them spelling my doom;
Their scowling would rob
A man of a job
And make him an object of gloom.
Though l tried to explain
Twas all in vain;
The boss felt offended at me,
He thought it a sin for fellow to grin
And smiling he hated to see.
Accepting discharge
l wandered at large,
A pitiful humorous dude
Until heard: "Will!"
"Heh! !"-"stop there "-"Bill!"
To my misgivings as interlude.
At touch and shout l faced about
And saw one, couldn't recall;
Until introduced soon was enthused
And followed him into hall;
Where explaining he would
And listen / could
That my face just registered the style
The movies demand
For some plays on hand;
And fortune awaited my smile.

for his expose of what appear to be
oil well promotions in
Idaho and Washington. 1t is reason
ably safe to assume that Dean Thomson
is not entisely in the dark in the mat
ter, for it is not likely that he would
issue public statements that he would
be obliged to reconsider.
1t is evident that the dean must exer-
else extraordinary care in his refer
ence to oil promotions, lest a state
ment from him, conveying encourage
ment in even the slightest degree, be
garbled or misconstrued by promoters
DESTROYS of an opportunity to utilize
an official pronunciamiento as argu-
ment for the sale of stocks.
1t must be remembered that the
dean is employed by the state of Ida
no because of his knowledge of min
ing and kindred subjects, and as ;
servant of the people of the state,
should have no purpose in beclouding
with doubt enterprises of genuine mer-
it. At the same time, he owes to the
people of the state the duty of refusing
to place his official stamp of approval
On enterprises that appear to be purely
4 speculative.
All hail to the pioneer in oil develop
ment. Without him, many proven
fields of today would be undiscovered,
I and their valuable product would still
lie dormant in it's hidden pools with
in the earth, instead of gushing
forth to drive the wheels of industry
/ To men who place their money in oil
and win, the reward is at hand. To
those who invest in fields in which
there is reason to believe will be found
oil. and who lose, it can only be
said that they typify the pioneer spirit
of fighting to conquer the obstacles Of
nature which, unfortunately, they
learned were too obstinate to overcome
or were unyielding because of misjudg
ment.
But to those who organize and pro
mote purely "wildcat oil schemes
with the avowed intention of Lining
their pockets with money received fror
the sale to the unsuspecting of stocks
in worthless concerns, one can giv'
only the titles of swindler and charla
1 tan. This class will follow in thu
wake of legitimate oil development
even as it does in goldmining.
