BY Letiise Morey Bowman - The sunshine was spattering oyer the floor' In a frolic of golden rain, And the little green leaves were whis- pering And tapping outside the pane. Thele were their college banners and books; And, hung on the plain gray wall, Sir Galahad,' shining and tall, Waiting there for his vision, In the dream -filled days of yore. But now they have seen a vision And shall they come back no more? Through the open door I heard the step of the brave little brown -eyed mother, And though she smiled on the thresh- old, I'n her eyes the big tears gleamed. "I've been such a happy woman! We've always dreamed That little grandchildren might come some day, And get out the old toys, and romp and play Just as they used to. lent now, you know, There is something far greater than ,that, and, oh, Sometimes one almost grows afraid to dream! "Fred writes, 'You taught us to "Fol- low the glean", With gay old Galahad there on our wall. Cheer up, mother, all'. Think. of Fred—our that. Well, We must go down There's the bell.' This life's not joker—writing to lunch, dear. • And so we silently closed the door, And left the room as it was before, With the sunshine spattering over the floor In a frolic of golden rain, And the little green leaves a -whisper- ing And tapping outside the pane. But now when we talk of the war, I see, . Above -the horrible, death -filled 'gloom That rises before me, "the.boy's old room"- • - A vision whose beauty shall never pale; A temple that still guards the Hol' Y Grail. --From The Canadian Magazine for November: SERIOUS ILLNESS AVOIDED Many a serious illness has been avoided by the prompt use of Dr. Wil- ,looking as this one.

Success and happiness depend upon the way in whieh we adapt ourselves to the realities of objective life. If we fight against change—and change we. must meet at every turn and in every department of life --we soon' become, exhausted, wear ourselves out "" and sink back into ourselves -into the sub- conscious ---and fail and grow old be- fore our time. If we cling to past experiences, re- fuse to live in the present, let our faith die when disappointments come, the results are the same. The life forces ebb and we sink into the great sea of the unconscious and are on the road to being submerged. Desire, will, concentration, purpose, faith -these can be applied to keep. up living in the present, to keep our en thuejasm active and our creativeness expressing.
