It singeth low in every heart, We hear it, each and all— A song of those who answer not, However we may call; They throng the silence of the breast. We see them as of yore— The kind, the brave, the true, the sweet, Who walk with us no more! ’Tis hard to take the burden up, Wnen these have laid it down; They brightened all the joy of life, They softened every frown; But, O. 'tis good to think of them When we are troubled sore! Thanks be to God that such have been, Though they are here no more! More homelike seems the vast un known Since they have entered there; To follow them were not so hard Wherever they may fare; They cannot be where God is not. On any sea or shore; Whate’er betides, Thy love abides, Oud God, for evermore! THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY. There is no good, there is no bad, These be the whims of mortal will. What works me weal, that I call good, What harms and hurts, I hold as ill. —The Kasidah. • • • It is true that often the things we hope for, fall to put in an appear' ance, but think of the wonderful com pensation we get in the good things that so appear unexpectedly. —Lloyd. • • • 1 i j Thinkers are rare.

DORSEY Clayton Street, ATHENS, GA. RED CROSS SEALS. The Red Cross Seals have all the significance of the regular Christmas stickers, but that does not begin to tell their story. In addition to a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year greeting, the Red Cross Seals typify as nothing else of their kind does the real Christmas spirit of love and sym pathy and service for a brotherhood of suffering humanity. They carry message of helpful interest to for lorn hearts which cannot be directly reached, however much we may be willing. They give expression to the best impulse that comes from the heart of man—that of helpfulness to the unfortunate victims of poverty, misery and distress. They represent a real and potent effort to translate this spirit of helpfulness into efficient service toward alleviating the sorrow and suffering which follow in the train of the Great White Plague. They give joy alike to the heart of the sender and to the recipient and help to save the life and happiness of some less fortunte brother beyond the personal reach of either who has al ready or may become the victim of tuberculosis. And tuberculosis Is so largely a community sin. Placed on correspondence, Christ mas gifts, pay envelopes, they carry at once a gladsome message, a cher ished hope and a symapthy that can not be misunderstood. INFORMAL TEA FOR MISS BRAND.
