The home town is the glad town Where something real abides; Tis not the money-mad town That all its spirit hides- Though stranger* scoff and flout it .\nd even jeer its name, It has a chann about it N'o other town can claim. The home town skies seem bluer Than s-ties atht stretch away, .A.r=d kinder through the day; ArA whether glum or cheery, Light-heared or depressed, Or struggle-fit or weary, I like the home town best. Let him who ^v^ll- go wander To distant towns to live. Ul' some things I am fonder Than all they have to give- The gold of distant places Could not repay me quite For those familiar faces That keep the home town bright. â€" Edgar A- Guest. Not long ago. I had occasion tr pass through the little village where ha'ppy years of my boyhood had beer spent. There had been several de lays during the day and already 1 was three hours late in reaching mj lav over a smOe cajne to my face as I bered some of our boyish pranks both in and out of school. I was glad to see that the building was nicely painted. It was time for me to start tke car, and we reached the bottom oi the hill, but instead of turning to tiie left in the direction of my destio*- tion- I turned toward the old home of my grandparents. Strangers own the place now. In fancy I could see my grandfather as he patiently er- plained to me some problem which I could not master myself- And my grandmother â€" only God will know what she meant in my- life I How often had she called me to climi) Ae the glories of God's sunset hour hill behind the bam with her, to »«< the glories of God'' svmset-hc-ur. Many times ha->/e I heard her slag softly, as we stood on thy hill, "Untr the hills around do I lift up my long- in? eyas." In spite of the lateness jf the hour, I went beyond the vi'iage. to tie little graveyard. Leaving the car on the road I walked up the ^hady paths to a quiet corner- and spent a pre- cious half hour at tlieir arraves. Soon, our old boys and girls will be comirtg home for a fe^v days.

As the car reach- ed the top of the hill overlooking the little village I knew, that in. spite ol delays which had held me back. 1 could not pass hurriedly through that little village in the valley- I stopped the car on the hill-top, and drank in the beauty of the country-side- The beauty was enhaiiced as memories of childhood crowded into my mind. The little silver, winding river, so similar to our little stream. "The Boyne." held precious memories.
