THE WEAVER A weaver sat one day at his loom, Among the colors bright, With the pattern for his copying Hung fair and plain in eight. But the weaver's thoughts were wan- dering Away on a distant track, As he threw the shuttle in his hand Wearily forward and back. And then the weaver looked and saw His work must be undone. For the threads were wrong and the colors dimmed Where the bitter tears had run. Ahl Sad it was for the weaver, And sad for his luckless wife. And sad it will be for us, if we say At the end of our task in life; '"We -wove a' web of doubt and feat,. Not faith and hope and love, Beause we looked at ourwork, and not At our pattern up above." SWEET CONTENT If I might share .A. brother's load along the dusty way, And I should turn and walk alone that day, Haw could I dare, 'When' in the evening watch I knelt to pray, To ask for help to bear my pain and loss. . If I had heeded not my. brother's If I might sing A little song to cheer a fainting heart, Lit 111 Jinni `Ido —John Ladder NEEDFUL VARIETY If all the skies were sunshine Our faces would fain To feel once more upon them The cooling splash of rain, If all the world were music, Our hearts would often long For one sweet strain of silence To break the endless song. If life were always merry, Our souls would seek . relief, And rest from weary laughter In the .quiet arms of grief. Henry Van Dyke.

There are many who believe that there is no •other name so precious as that of Jesus, but sad to say there are many mare to whom His name means nothing. - Let us just mentally pass in, re- view the names of some of the prom- inent nien and women, good and bad, in all walks of life the work of whom has been impressed on our minds, and see just what reaction they,,individ- ually, bring to our very being. Among them are those who have meant much to us throughout the years, . and there are perhaps: those whom -we could wish had never cros- sed our path, and . it may be they wish the same about us. What a feeling of happiness comes over us as we think of many of our friends, both past and present. Some have passed on, but if we cooperate with our Saviour 'we will see them again. They will be waiting on the farther shore to welcome us- with our Saviour as their chief companion. To a, believer there is no name which brings such comfort as the name of Jesus. Sometimes we get, all excited with- in ourselves. We cannot see how af- fairs individually and nationally can possibly work out right. Then the naives of Jesus conies to us and with it such a soothing influence. Our fears disappear as we realize that He is over; not only our little region of the Earth, but is over all the world.
