PEACE
By ROBERT WHITTIER

By ROBERT WHITTIER
God of the nations rise;
Oh, bring the age of peace;
Make Thou our cruel battle cries,
Our wicked wars to cease.
Teach us a kindlier mood
Than patriotic pride,
Since once for men of every blood
The Man of Calvary died.
Teach US larger love
Than land or flag may give,
Our banner be the blue above,
Our fellows all who live.
Teach US wiser skill,
A lustre not of arms,
Teach US the wisdom of good will,
And its unfading charms.
Give US real conquest, Lord,
Let this our triumph be:
To conquer self, in deed and word,
And in Thy truth be free.

CoIonists Not Blind
to Beautiful Things

The gold and silver trades of Amer
lea are among its oldest and most
picturesque industries and have played
q not unimportant part in our his
tory. The earliest settlers brought
with them treasures in gold and silver
ware from their homes in England,
France and Holland. Although the
Puritans frowned on the vanity Of
personal adornment they brought large
silver buckles to wear on their shoes,
AND women wore brooches.
At an early period craftsmen skilled
ip making beautiful things of gold
and silver crossed the Atlantic and
Continued their work In the new land.
The first gold and silversmiths In the
colonies did all their work by hand,
using few and simple tools. In gen.
eral, each artist knew how to work in
ell metals. He made a variety of ar
tcles-brooches, rings, forks, spoons
spd the larger pieces of silverware
f6f the table.
One Of the best known craftsmen
Of the early period Of our native art
was Paul Revere. His father had been
q silversmlth and Paul inherited the
business when nineteen. Like other
artists of his time he was extremely
vStsatile and could engrave crests and
cQats-of-arms, making bookplates and
Prints, carve wooden frames for por-
Jaits, cast bells and design and ex-
ecute silverware.

Lasting Monument to
GLORY of Early Rome

Ell Diem, Tunis, contains one Of the
finest Roman monuments in North
Africa, an amphitheater of FIVE stories,
the third largest in the world. Stu
ated on a plain near the desert from
tier 1t can be seen many miles off
rising like a mountain Of stone, domi-
mating the surrounding landscape, and
completely dwarfng the shabby little
Arab village at its base.
The immense pillars and blocks Of
stone used IN its construction had to
be hauled over specially built roads
BY an army Of slaves and teams of
oxen from quarrles twenty miles
away. The Roman occupation ceased
at the end of the Third century, but
this massive, well-preserved structure
still stands, a silent and enduring
witness to past glory.
No trace Of the luxurious city Of
Thysdrus remains, which, with its
100000 inhabitants, once occupied the
site of the present-day squalid village

A boy named Holman Walsh, a resi-

High-Sounding Names
GiUen to Foundlirq

So long as there are foundlings
doubtless there will be the problem:
what to name them
Recently the Lewisham board of
guardians, in England, tried a more
elaborate device-wlth rather compli-
Gated results, according to newspaper
reports. An infant was found abAn-
d9hed IN motor car, and, striving to
find name that should contain ref
erence to the history Of the case, one
member of the board suggested that
the baby be called Alice Motor An
other member urged that they choose
a decent name" and then still an
other objected that as yet they didn't
know whether the founding was a
girl or a boy.
The chairman Of the board thought.
1t was a girl But the deputy clerk,
Having made inquiries" made the
emphatic announcement that the child
was a boy. This detail established,
the quest Of a name was resumed.
"In what part of the High street
was the child dlscoveredf" asked a
board member, reminding the assem-
bled company that 1--WE had a child
discovered In Lewisham park some
years ago and called it Park"
The clerk said the child had beep
found near the Kings hall. Call It
George King" some one ventured.
And since the discovery had been
made close to Granville park, another
thought the boy should be named
George Granville. Compromise ended
in the bestowal Of a very grand name
indeed George Granville King. And
as such It was duly christened by the
chaplain.

Hops did not attain their present

danger the lives OF the people" But.
In spite OF this, hops had come into
