THE FAILURE He wasted days a-dreaming In fields and pleasant ways-- He wasted time unseeming In voicing honest praise-- He stole away to wander "Beneath the woodland's shade To dream awhile and ponder On all that God has made He loitered in his roving Where suffering was near, To speak a word of loving And plant a seed of cheer He wasted his to-morrows In seeking after men Who bowed beneatH their sorrows, And brought their smiles again, He turned from paths of duty And all the gain it yields, And took the path of beauty To childhood's rosy fields; He shared the pleasure of them. And heard their childish lore, Like Him. who bade us love them Two thousand years before. His precious time was wasted And now he's growing old, And never yet has tasted The fruits of fame and gold; A love of life and wildwood, A heart of hate bereft, And love of men and childhood, Are all that he has left. --John D.

Take down your trusty battle axe for amputation stunts, have remedies for dammaged backs and much disfigured fronts. Oh. let us grease the amby- lanee and make it snug inside. for now with pomp and circumstance the football teams collide. They have de- brutalized the game so certain ex- perts say; it's now so inmmocenf and tame that even girls could play. And vet I notice every year that grew- some stories come of players who bave had an ear or head knocked out of plumb. And some go home with broken ribs. and some for life are lame. which makes me think that maybe fibs are told about tha game. Far be frond an old fat{ poke to kick at any sport that does not get' the player's goat and put him out of court. But foot ball in the ages when it hadn't been refined has kill- ed and crippled scores of men--but all that is behind, They have it now so tempered down, it's safe as blind man's buff; no player get's a busted orown--there's nothing fierce or rough, And yet. oh Sawbonés, just the same. I'd grease the ambulance, for in the sweetest. tamest game, some accident may chance. KINGWOOD. Miss Pearl Freeborn. of Berlin, spent a few days this week at her home here.

AFTER ONE HUNDRED YEARS ee Toronto Star One of these days there will be an international celebration of a hundred vears of peace between the British Empire and the United States. The other day Canadians celebrated the eentenary of Sir Isaac Brock. the bero of Queenston Heights. It is worth while to note the atti- tude of oir American meighbors to- wards that celebration, all our own, which occurred a few weeks ago. The Detroit Free Press states in an edit- orial that it feels that the honor shown to the memory of Brock was deserved. and that all the raneorg of those old days have long since dis- appeared. But it adds; ""It'is fitting too, to rejoice that in this hemisphere the wars we glory in belong to the distant past. and that while mations of our owm age are even mow fighting one another and shedding ,humam blood on the field of battle. America is preparing for another celebration mot far away which better suits this twentieth cen- tury and our civilization. The mem- orial to a hundred years of peace be- tween these two countries will be more admirable and more significant of true welfare than the mosti elo- quent laudations of martial feats or triumph in conquest at the price of human life and humam progress." Opinions of this kind are common- lv expressed in the best mewspapers of the United States. We are pleased to quote this from the Detroit Free Press. showing as it does, tha& the sentiments always expressed in these columns are as heartily expressed by a Detroit paper. DRA. F.

Guardiaw Now. it is easy enough for a ERuro- pean to assume that a man who pro- fessed the Christian faith without really believing in it must be a mere imposter. But before arriving at such a conclusion we ought to try and understand tha Jewish faith. to interpret its commandments. to un- derstand what a man professing it may do and what he may mot do. _ To understand the Jewish religion is for Europeans a task of quitel ex- traordinary difficulty. But it is quite certain that many things which to Christians would seem simply. dis- honor and apostasy. are regarded by the Jews as perfectly legitimata strategy. In this conmeotion it is interesting to note the oase of the 'Nuovos Chris- trianos' in Spain. on whose adventur- es Disraeli was fond of dwelling and from whom he insisted on Claiming descent. although as a matter of fact he seems to have derived "his ancestry from a Jewish money-lender in Ven- ice oalled 'Israel', Nevertheless the Spanish story is well worth telling if only because it illustrates the Jew- ish religion and the characteristio re- ligion of Europeans. It is am unquestionable fact that in Spain a large mulmber of influential Jewish families decide for pruden- tial reasons to profess the Catholio faith. It is further a fact that these families seoretly practised Judaism and that when. after the lapse of two or three centuries the special re- strictions placed upon the Jews were removed, these families returned to their ancestral faith. -- ' In his noveld and phamphlets Dis- raeli is meyer tired of dwelling on this fact. and undoubtedly it is a startling and arresting one, Thero have been cases enough. mo doubt in Europe of religion maintaining itself in. the face of persecutiom; butt such oases have always involved 'the eéle- ment of resistamce. Thus the Irish have remained Catholia in spite of the most savage efforts to force them into Protestantism. But all the time they have said that they were Catho- lies. If the whole population of Ire-. land had from say. 1692 pretended to be Protestant umtil 1829 and had then suddenly avowed themselves 'Gatholics--that would b e like a parallel to the ionably historical. u Se DEL 'was so fond of insistin Sn ae THE FAILURE On MILITARISM?'
