WINGS OF TIME

Old years passing, new years coming,
Peacefully they come and go;
Look! how quickly time is running
Evening shadows, morning glow.
Each year like a trained battalion,
Each day like a messenger;
Fostering hosts and souls of millions;
Carrying them as passengers.
See, how all the hosts of nature
Patiently await the day.
Waiting for its gifts, its nurture.
Arms for conquer, chance for play.
Cropping with anticipation,
AS do blind men with their cane;
Each day one new recitation,
Never closer to explain.
Moving onward, upward. downward,
With each day mystery;
Thankless of what time has showered;
Wondering what the dawn will be.
Planned with that immortal fire
Answer to life past gone;
Thus the creatures never tire
Waiting for the unseen dawn.
Anxiously, as for the morning,
Souls do also wait for night
Rest, then, from their tired wandering;
Refuge from a ceaseless fight.
Greetings to thee, friend of nature
Daylight, messenger of life;
Hope and rest with thy departures;
Waiting thee at morning rife.
Oh, thou soul of man that spyeth
Ever mid tomOrrOw's realm
What when no such morrow lieth
Waiting yond the eastern helm?
When the shadows of the evening
Fall upon that strange expanse?
When that cherished breath is leaving,
And escaping finds no chance?
Oh, thou mortal SOUL why culver
At the strangeness of the deep
Seest thou not, beyond that river,
Christ, the shepherd, and His sheep?
Happy, then, that soul whose spirit
Wanders in that shepherds way
Waiting ferrybOats shall bear it
Heav'nward at the close of day.
Daylights fading, years fast passing
Carried on the wings of Time;
Each day closing, each year dashing
Nearer to that shore sublime.
oh, those wings that never tire.
Shirk nor halt from age to age,
To sustain this morbid choir
Humans on their wanton stage.
Halt, thou chosen, crowned of mOrtals;
Grid thee with that Sword of Life!
Lest thou perish in that portal
Just beyond this world of strife.
Wait, thou burdened and thou weary!
Lean upon that Shepherds breast;
He will gladly, safely guide thee
Yonder to that blissful rest.
Time unceasing, Time eternal
Attributes of God above;
Parting finally the Internal
From the hosts of heavily love
Old year passing, New Year coming
UP to bear us on our way;
Morning soon fades into cleaning,
AS we pass from day to day.
May we hold each hour precious,
AS the day moves gently on;
That, in turn, each hour may bears us
To that last celestial dawn.

Hints for HOmenlakers
By Jane Rogers

Pressed wood, especiually the tempered grade, has almost un- limited uses in home improvement and decoration. A friend recently called to my attention two uses that may be of interest to other. She used it effectively to replace the bottom of 8 piano bench that had fallen out long ago; and now the music is no longer scattered in window .sills and on chairs. She also used it to cover the unsightly top of a general utility table. Made entirely of wood and being warp proof and moisture press ed wood is sturdy; it yields easily to the saw and does not chip or crack under pressure of nails or screws.

Solution to Previous Contract
 Problem


 Here's another of the interest ing slam hands selected from the eastern Pennsylvania tourna- ment at Reading. Contracts big gest thrill. of course, is to bid and make a grand slam. Grand slams are seldom bid unless they are a spread.
 I want to say this to the begin ner at contract: Do not be too eager to bid small slams unless you feel you are capable player. When you are in the small slam zone. you can lose only one trick. To go down two tricks gives you a terrific loss on the board. On the score sheet it may just appear as minus 50, but if you had not bid the slam, your side would have made five odd, plus the game bonus, which really is a loss for your side of 450 to 500 points. In looking over today's hand, you might say that the declarer has to lose a diamond and a trump. but let's watch the way Mrs H. L. Peterson, of Philadelphia, who for the second time won the mixed pair championship. played the hand.
