THE VALLEY OF TEARS

Once, when the world was folden
Heavy with unshed night,
Hidden and unbeholden
Of Gods piercing sight,
Thou didst awaken and borrow
Time from the unborn years,
Sorrowful mother of sorrow,
o Valley of Tears.
Thy unmade hills were shaken,
Thou yet-unbuilded earth,
And brooding Space was taken
With pains of cosmic birth
With pains that went before thee,
Abreast with nameless fears,
When laboring nature bore thee,
o Valley of Tears.
Slow as the feet of the ages,
Treading the grapes of wrath;
Having such wine for wages
AS no mortal hath;
Born of such bitter crying
As no mortal hears,
Thou camest, doomed and dying,
o Valley Of Tears.
Then we, like insects breeding
Within some stagnant fen,
Game forth of thy blind leading,
A binder race of men;
OF men whose voice Of wailing
Is loud in heavens ears,
But barren and unavailing,
o Valley of Tears.
Nursed al the breast Of passion,
Rocked IN the cradle of pain;
Eating, with lips turned ashen,
All things bitter and vain.
Here where no star hath risen,
Here where no light appears,
Faint we in thy dark prison,
o Valley of Tears.

THE FEMININE SOUL"

Our Mister George Harvey,
who functionates officially at
the Court Of Saint Jim, has got
the religious world by the ear
and making it turkey-trot all
over the place. In a recent
speech before the Authors Club
in London Harvey raises the
question as to whether women
have "souls." And nobody seems
able to answer.
Great problem!
Awful sumner!
Mighty hard question!
4eS-slr-ee!
But, sakes alive, how easy it
would be il they would only ex-
ercise a little common sense. If
they could only get it through
their terra-cotta noggins that
men haven't got any "souls''
either. But that solution of the
problem is so simple that they
have never thought Of it. The
swell headed scions Of Spook-
ology prefer to dabble in myst-
erious and foolish guesses about
impossible theories instead of
coming right out and facing the
plain facts.

ON PARADE

These things7I see, passing in
endless file:
Night with her mantle, tread
ing the heels of Dawn;
Love with a kiss, Hate with a
dagger drawn:
Death with a mask, and Beauty
with a smile.
And these 60 marching, march
ing, all the while:
Faint-hearted, crouching Fear,
and timid Hope,
And weeping Sorrow, holding
in her scope
All things that be, of every
name and style.
But I have seen the end of this
parade
The goal of every pilgrim on
the way
And I shall journey, too, as
far as they,
Till all shall reach the Valley of
the Shade,
Where I shall meet, in some
sure Afterwhile,
Death with a mask, and Beauty
with smile.

A SERMON ON COLUMBUS

The Providence Journal wants
to know where we-unses would ,
all have been now if Columbus
hadn't discovered America. Oh,
I guess if Chris hadn't done it
somebody else would. AS big a
thing as America couldn't have
remained lost forever. The
reason it wasn't found sooner
was because the people of old
times were ignorant and didn't
know how to look for anything.
The people of the old world pro-
badly knew thousands of years
ago that America was lost, but
they didn't seem to- care. If
anybody had wanted to find, it
at an earlier date they could
easily have done so. It was
right here, and so far as we know
it made no effort to get away.
It was not a bit wild when Col
umbus and his men arrived.
America hadn't done anything
then to be ashamed of like she
had now, and there was no need
for her to run and hide like
Adam and Eve did when God
came walking in the garden
about five . c.uck one evening.
MY honest opinion is that
Columbus has always been given
| too much honor for what he did.
He has been treated just as if
he had done something that
was very hard to do, like find
ing a needle in a haystack Oh
a Democrat that didn't want
office. But what ht did was
nothing like that. He started
sailing west, and all he had to
do was to just sit steady in the
boat and come right on. Here
twas America stretched right
across his path for about five
or six thousand miles, and ever
if he had come with his eyes
shut he was bound to have hit
it somewhere. He couldn't pos.
slbly have missed it, unless he
had turned around and gone
some other way.
So | can't see that Columbus
is entitled to so much credit, af.
ter ali. Now if he had found ar
jhonest politician, or discover
ed some sense in this-here ''neN
Ipoetry," it would have beer
Isomething to brag about. But
|just discovering America-gooc
Lord! Anybody could have done
that.

DISILLUSIONED

from the pages Of Charity and
Children, a Baptist paper pub
lished here in North Carolina.
The writer seems to be one OF
the disillusioned; but having lost
his illusions he hasn't found any
thing to take their place. He
believed all the f1owery propa-
ganda they fed him on during
the war. He expected every
thing to turn out just like the
official lying-machines said it
would. It never once entered
his mind. that the whole nation
and the whole world was being
"strung' And so when the bot
tom dropped" out and he saw
what sort of fruit the fine pro-
misses had borne-well, he was
all upset about it, and he had
to get the disappointment out
| of his system in the manner fol-
lowing:
The world is deeply disappointed
at the results of our victory over
Germany. Millions of our bravest
and best are sleeping in bloody
graves, and the nations of Europe
are looking forward already to the
next war. We thought we were
giving our boys in a holy cause-that
of putting an end to war. Has that
been done? We thought we were
breaking the shackles from the hands
of the weak nations. Has that been
done? We were told that we were
disarming the oppressors of man
kind, but the Infamous Turks are
busy killing Christians and bidding
defiance to their *conquerors.' y
Where are the fruits of our sacri-
fee? For what did our boys suffe,
and die? We find the same old
Fgreed among the nations Of Europe
that brought on the war. They are
still clamoring for commercial ad-
vantage. Broken and bleeding as
they are, the old spirit Of selfishness
seems to be as rampant as ever. The
United States made great >contri-
button of treasure and of blood tt
end the reign Of autocracy in the
world, and now refuses to lift 9
finger to hold the advantage we wor
at so great cost. We are less united
less brotherly and friendly than we
were before the great conflict. We
are allies no longer, but each nation
is fighting for itself. What is to be
the final outcome of it all? Is il
possible that it, will take another
world struggle to bring universe
peace? We do not believe war viii
ever settle any thing. If we cannot
! live in peace without fighting for il
civilization is doomed. The only
hope for us in the world is in the
religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. Il
that fails us there is no other way.

FROM PRIMITIVE TO COMPLEX

As mans methods of communicating
thoughts, ideas and information have ad
vanced he has progressed in civilization.
Authorities who have delved into the
past say that primitive man began COM
munication with few shrieks, growls,
croons, walls and roars, and he was about
as gifted in eloquence as the barnyard
hen. Later he developed signs, interspers
ing these with gestures.
In one historians chronology of COM
munication, it is said that the means of
conveying news long distance began with
the use of beacon fires. AS early as S31
B. c. Sigeum, a tower 400 feet high on the
Helespont, in the Strait of Dardenelles,
existed and was counted one of the won
ders of the world. On this tower beacon
fires were burned to signal messages to
the Phoenicians, who traded with ancient
Britons, passing through the Mediterranean
Sea. Homer in his writings makes refer
ences to beacon fires as warnings of an
enemy's approach.
News of the fall of Troy was sent to
Greece by beacon fires, signalling from
headland to headland. American Indians
used smoke by day and fire arrows by
night. England in the period of the Tu-
dcrs, (Henry VIII, "Bloody Mary" and
Queen Elizabeth), used beacon fires as late
as the 10th century. A system of fires was
organized to warn England of the coming
of the Spanish Armada.
Alexander the Great tried to throw his
voice great distance. He had device
called stentorophonic tube, one of the
wonders of the ancient world A draw
ing of it is still preserved in the museum
of the Vatican. This tube was somewhat
of the nature of a gigantic megaphone.
A writer reports that it would send a voice
Twelve miles, which sounds like some of
the newspaper write-ups of modern scen-
tihc devices.-Selected.

at the last minute Buck was offered

Finally the great day arrived. Two
transports docked one morning and the
news went around that one was for the
troops then at Genicart, No. 2. 1t was.
Early on the morning of December oath,
1913, we marched down to the river, and
after a several hour stay on the docks,
Loarded our seagoing> steed. 1t was the
PocohontaS, formerly the Princess Irene of
the German Transport service.
On the trip across from the U. S. we had
been fortunate, as the transport was the
Olympic, one Of the largest ships aAoat.
That may seen of no great Importance, but
take tip from me, if you ever have to
cross the briny, select the biggest boat
maintaining exclusive passenger service.
The Pocot0ntaS was manned by Ameri-
can gobs, and flew the American flag,
while the Olmpic is an English boat, and
was manned by "limey" sailors. To the
uninitiate that doesn't mean anything, hut
to an A. F.. F. vet it means good chuck on

Then to South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska,

So this is farewell to Buck, Baldy, and
Co. but not farewell to the o. D., Lady
Luck, and her devotees. We will return

and mean that he does not even enjoy his

We cannot reach perfection until we dis
