GREED

Greed, the scavenger of HelFs domain
Teeth that snap with vicious thud,
Minus conscience or pity, thinks but
of gain,
Wallowing deep in the slime and
mud.
Honor or Justice to it unknown,
With iniquitous eye It seeks it's
prey,
In ITS ugly mouth it carries a bone,
'Snatched from some starving thing
On its way.
No care for the weak; or suffering, as
well,
Think only of self, to prosper and
live,
With unscrupulous mein does it bar
gain or SELL
Impoverishing all, yet has nothing
to give.
Beware of the monster, let it never
abide,
To callous the heart, or obscure the
eye,
1t, expel from the mind; from its in
fluence hide,
Fling it back into Hell to suffer and
die

MOTHERS

The hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world. :"
w. R. WALLACE.
1t is a task beyond my ability to
undertake, to compose a proper tri-
butte to Mother, the dearest, grandest
noblest, most persevering, most self
sacrificing being that ever existed
She is the one who has suffered
much to bring us into the world, to
nourish and rear us through child
hood, and then to lose us from her
fond embrace as we go out on life's
journey when attaining manhood or
wOmanhood.
She was the one to whom we went
when in trouble, when we had some
burden on our heart, and it was she
who helped tighten this burden, and
frightened the future for US.
She is a gift sent down from Heav-
en- to us. Her love is our sweetest,
most precious boon. Her companion
ship is the most wholesome influence
of our lives. Her counsel is like wis
dom only surpassed by the wisdom
Of the Most High. We are inspired
by her confidence in us. Her kisses
are balm to our aching hearts and
a seal to our noblest resolves. Her
prayers are signs which we follow
day by day in our struggle onward,
upward.
A mothers love is measureless. 1t
is not limited by any narrow boundar-
les. 1t is as limitless as the sky. She
spares nothing for her children's COM
fort and welfare. sacrifices every day
for her children the qualification of
some desire unselfishly in order to
give them the qualification of every
desire which they have which she
deems worthy. She sacrifices many
times of which we are entirely una
ware.
We never realize what our mother
has done for us until we have gotten
from under her wing, out in the world
and do not have her to go to when
there are things that are touching
our hearts and we need someone in
whom to confide these things.
A girl may at some time realize
what her mother was to her but it is
impossible for man to realize what his
mother has done for him even if he
has family of his own.
Boys, and girls, too, let us alyaws
remember mother, the one who has
done the most in all the world for
us. She is your mother, no matter
who she is beside that and that alone
should make you almost worship the
ground she walks on. If you still
have her with you. make the remain
der of her life on earth as pleasant
as it is possible for you to make it.
And ever strive to live according to
her admonitions so that you will meet
her in the sky.-PAT GILLEN in
Gainesville Scouting News.

You cannot thank God with one
