That 'round earth's treasures site will gently fling. And turn then, into sacred, holy shrines. Yet war strikes first at Beauty, everywhere, Smashing the places where she sought her rest - Old, stately churches, castles, gar dens fair. Small, happy homes where love had dwelt secure. But Beauty is eternal and will liv In summer flowers and opalescen clouds Hearts a safe tenancy to her will give And Heaven will grant ther an aibid ing place. E. Lillian Morley, V WHEN WE COME HOME Home is the ending of the road, The place where we lay down our load; We cross the threshold, and forget Life's work and worry, fuss and fret, We need no longer strive or strain, With wearied limbs and busy brain, For here, when sunset paints the west. At close of day, we take our rest. But Home means more than hearth or chair - A tender heart must greet us there With kindly. words and loving smiles, Drowning the memory of the miles Se even those who never own A dwelling -place of brick or stone, can rest content at journey's end - Home in the heart of one good friend. Claire Ritchie. SACRIFICE England if thou shouldst ask of me This life I hold so dear, my son, My hope of perpetuity, Then grant that I may willingly Make this one sacrifice far thee; And think on Him, who freely gave His only.
