I wasn't worried. l was just

difference. When you are wor-

even my confusion is all over

Everybody that I meet has
explained this whole "infla-

I am going around explaining
it myself.

Hardly less famous than the

These were designed by Sir

SHORT JOURNEYS
BY Temple Manning

The most prominent build
ing in London is the Cathe-
dral Church of st. Paul. When
you realize that this was be-
gun in 1875 and finished 35
years later you see at once
whether the British metropolis
is eager to compete with New
York and Chicago in a sky
scraper building race.
The church bears a strong
resemblance to st. Peters in
Rome and towers to the height
of 365 feet. ST. Paul's con-
tains the nations memorials
to her dead military and naval
heroes and is visited on i'm
portant occasions by King
George and Queen Mary. The
church, designed by the cele-
brated Sir Christopher Wren,
is a splendid example of the
English architectural genius
at its best.
Now, if you travel a little
while through the town until
you come to Portsmouth
Street you'll find an unpre-
tentious little building which,
though only two stories high
and quite humble in design,
Is almost as famous, in it's
way. as st. Paul's.
This is the famous Old Cur

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

The loneliness that comes
From growing wise
The burden one must bear
For being free
It is so hard
To live life gallantly!
Deaths easy
So much easier than life.
For those who die
Need do it only once
And then the struggles done
But those who live
They must keep going on
And face
The same grim problem
With each cringing morn.
And so
We build our tombs
Long years before we die.
Snug, peaceful tombs
OF fear or grief
Or wounded pride
And crawl within them,
Shutting life outside.
BUT BRAVE SOULS
CHOOSE TO LIVE
IN SPITE OF PAIN.
THOSE WHO LOVE LIFE
BREAK TOMB
AND LIVE AGAIN!
Help me love life
Like that my Father
Help me hate my tomb
Until at last
I roll away the stone
And take fresh chances
With myself and life!
And so with each new day,
Help me to fight!
And give me courage
Not to run away
From all the pain
The coming year may hold
But make me glad
And brave enough to go
Through any Calvary
If, with the dawn,
At last I surely know
That Death is but a dream
BUT LIFE AND LOVE GO ON!
