"RETIRED"

He was sprung from the loins of one
A path across a charities span OF
And he was nurtured at a mothers
breast
Who, wanting little, toiled with rough,
red hands
And took a wage of crusts and child
birth pain.
His eyes first opened on an I'M
ploughed world
Where life was only for the sinewed
few;
Pied tiger-lilies in that grassy maze
Gave him a welcome from their ragged
stems
Standing on guard beneath a tent of
blue.
His bare feet came to know the fur
row soon
And soon his palms were curved TO
grasp a hoe:
His ear was tuned to catch the cocks
His back was corded well that it
IulSuI DCIld
To move along above a weedy row.
Choosing a mate, he sought no comely
form
But looked for one to sweep his kitch-
en- floor;
He wanted one with hands to knead
coarse bread
One with firm knees to grip a milk"
pail's TANKS
And strength to carry water to his
door.
Now his broad acres spread and ripple
off,
Marked by the lines of marching corn
and cane;
Great barns are hunched above his
mounds of hay
Fat cattle stand and low at feeding
time
His hills are greening from their
gifts of rain.
But he is gone, and some drab village
street
Each day is conscious of his restless
tread;
Mutely he plods throughout his task
less day
Or sits beside his somber, toothless
mate,
Letting time glide over his weathered
head.

The SANITY Mind or
The Monkey Gland Mind!

(From Bernard Shaw's ST. JOan.)
1t is true that behind all these
quackeries (new rites of Science in
stead of old rites of Religion) there is
a certain body Of genuine Scientific
physiology. But was there any less a
certain body of genuine PSYCHOLOGY
behind st. Catherine and the Holy
Ghost? And which is the healthier
mind? the sanity mind or the monkey
gland mind? Does not the present cry
Back to the Middle Ages" which has
been incubating ever since the pre-
Raphaelite movement began, mean that
it is no longer our Academy pictures
that are intolerable, but our creduli-
ties that have not the excuse of being
superstitious, our cruelties that have
the excuse our barbarism, our perse-
cutions that have not the excuse of
religious faith, our shameless subst1-
tuition of successful swindlers and
scoundrels and quacks for saints as
objects of worship and our deafness
and blindness to the calls and visions
of the memorable power that made us,
and will destroy us if we disregard it?

Middle Ages, running violently down
into a steep place into hell of high

The Dignity of Labor.

No man labors successfully until he
discovers for himself the beauty and
dignity of the things he does when
he does them we'll. And no man la
bors in vain who does useful work, re-
CARELESS of it's character, with his
whole soul in it. The knowledge of
the intrinsic beauty and value of all
human effort sanctifies every task. We
labor briefly in the Masters Vineyard,
returning our talents two, three, five
or ten-fold to the One who gave.
Life's content comes not in pursuit
of that vain, elusive thing called chap
piness." There is nobler work in this
world than the pursuit of pleasure
and the qualification of desire. When
all things are said and all things are
done that we may do, Achievement
stands as mans fulf1llment. Achieve
ment strengthens the soul and clears
the purpose. And in the end it brings
content.

On Sundays in Harlem's Little At

mons, and avenues and cross streets
are filled with throngs of worshipers
vending their way to their respective
churches. Nor do the inhabitants of

them churchWard.
They enjoy singing hymns-with
that rich throb and information, and,
furthermore, they all enjoy a good
homely sermon, especially if the
preacher is eloquent and can quote
aptly from the Scriptures. Rather
than miss the Sunday service they
would miss their Sunday dinner.
