Are you too—
you wherever you are tonight,
high in whatever scarred and violent
sky—thinking how little we under-
stood,
how much we have yet to verify?
Are you too-
far off, alone: in tragic flight
where no birds fly—hearing the words
go round and roma, your set head,
hearing it said:
Nowhere on earth entrust a tryst
to stone and iron, to glass and lead.
for lead and glass and iron and
stone
are mist—are mist;
nowhere on earth expert to see,
defined for touch, finality;
nowhere on earth declare the bright
shape of substance seized by sight.
Are you too
finding this night that though heart
grieve
mind may receive.

THE VILLAGE GREEN

The green is conscience of the town.
At night it combs its dark leaves down,
And views with militant alarm,
Couples walking aria in arm.
By day, it spreads its petticoats 1
In soft green patterns, and devotes !
The hour to genteel gossiping

thing is certain as the old lady said
if we do not put forth every effort
now along that line our enemy -should
come over here, we certainly will ser-
ve. May God grant that such a thing
may never. happen.
We look at our uniformed young
men and women, many of them' nob-
lest of the land and how we long like
them, to be able to serve.
1 The voluntary band of workers of
our country are to be commended.
The trouble is many of us do not real-
ize
ealize the responsibility which lies be-
fore us andeven yet wo'are ready to
stand to one side and say "Let some
one eine do it." We should realize

those who are realizing to the full
just what this war means and that we
individually have an important part
to play. Even if our efforts do not
amount to much yet added to what
1
some oris else does it makes a great
deal.
Then we can serve in our own som-
anuniYbut haw often this seri ae
is
hampered elfishnes . We want
P bys s to
hold a certain position and if we 'can-
not have that then we refuse tow ork
atall.It may some oneelse is
be a
Y
fitted to do a certain task much bet-
ter than we are and why will we not
school ourselves to allow them to lead
and we can use our ability to help.
Take for instance in our churches,
the, work of the Lord is so hampered
by)jealousy. Some one has a higher
position than we have; we do not like
,the choir leader or organist. therefore
VE
we allow our God given voice to re-
main idle while we should be singing
His message and if for any lea en,
except one which we can give to the
Lord Himself, we refuse to use that
talent to help on Christ's work, then.
we will some day have to account to
Him for our neglect.. Those' who can
sing and will not should realize that it
is to help' on the work of God we
should be singing, therefore let us
settle our differences and just be so
thankful that God has endowed us
with health and strength to go to
church Christian (or should we say
Christian people?) who are allowing
dispute to hinder the work of the
Lord, should take time and go quietly
to one side and ask God if they are
really Christians.
Then the greater service to which
we can give our time is to serve our
Lord and Master who gave Himself
for us. As we read the story of'His;
life, as .we find it written by those in-
spired by Rim, we can hardly be-
lieve that He would do so much for
us, nor can we think that we would
be so ungrateful as to disregard His
invitation to come unto'Him. We pay
large sums of our money to find
pleasure in things of the world and
yet how little we regard His invita-
tion. Were we to receive an invite
tion from our Earthly King to appear
before him we would know that we
would not dare refuse to go. No more
dare we refuse to accept the invita-
tion of our Heavenly King, but yet
we will persist in doing so. This is
worth very serious thought on our
part. Punishment would be our lot if
we refused to appear before our
earthly King and much more serious
punishment, a penatly lasting through
'all eternity will come to us if we re-
' fuse the command of Jesus Christ,
I .'Conte unto me. All the have to do
is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
That is a simple thing to do and
really means Life Eternal or a separ-
i ation for all ages from Jesus and
'those we have loved and lost awhile.
"From Thee all skill and science flow,
AU pity, care, and love,
All calm and courage, faith and hope;
C. pour them from above.
And part them, Lord, to each and all,
As eaoh and aII shall need,
To rise like incense, each to Thee.
In noble thought and deed.
And hasten, Lord, that perfect day
When pain and death shall cease,
And Thy just rule shall fill the earth
With health and light and peace;
When ever blue the sky shall gleam,
And ever green the sod,
And man's rude work deface no more
The Paradise of God."
