NEWS -- OF INTEREST IN THE SOCIAL REALM The Resurrection and the Life A Poem Far E*vter ■f JAMES A. EKItTW [<3opyrl*ht. IMS, br Associated literary Prate.] “T HM the resurrection and the We.” •* So sayo the Wring Chrfat Mho to within. “I tore the heart (tow dtocord and from strife. I free the mind from error and from sin. I bring the nations health. I give the spirit wealth. Upon the battlefield of self l teach the soul to win.” cries Nature when the year te young, Hnd when the jkorn leads up her rosy Pours Che same song by the Sun to Garth is sung. “Renew,” be chants, < ‘your colors and your bowers. Drlnh from your springs of dew. Clothe fields and groves anew. Reweave your robes and fill your tap with garlands and with flowers.” “rTfeßaiLD,” says Ufe, “all things T* in which you dwell. Repair Clmc's ravages from day to day. Your house, dress, body and each out ward shell. Reclaim them from destruction and decay s Jour grounds and works reclaim, our catting and your fame, wild, replace, renew them atlWk knows no other way.” ’T*XS only God the perfect alters not Hnd flan, the innermost Ms image true. Cbcsc changeless dwell In their immor tal thought; 'Os but their semblances grow old and new. Cfcctr outer veils receive CMs thought and these they weave Hnd then reweave, a work of Joy that lasts the ages through. TJJfD this to Resurrection, happy SJI word! Che Inner Christ the Sen, the Image Oue, Be to the Builder. On Bfm to con ferred Che gfft divine to render ‘toll things ef In Bto white spirit fire Is burned each base dasfre drill within some human veil the smile of God shines through. Just the Very Best He Can If a fellow’s looking seedy, Kind of run-down at the heel, With the air of one that's needy— Getting more of woe than weal. Don’t be blaming him until you Can his record closely scan — Maybe then you’ll find he’s doing Just the very best he can. If his work is such as doesn’t Put him high in social ways; If he’s toiling for a living At a wage that scarely pays, Till the great procession finds him Straggling far behind the van, Still it may be that he’s doing Just the very bast he can. If you find a fellow’s slipping, When he’s tempted, now and then, Breaking rules and regulations That the Lord lays down for men, What’s the use to try to damn him — Try to help the devil’s plan — When he’s only weak and mortal, Doing just the best he can? Then a helpihg hand have ready For the fellow that is down; Give a smile to him that’s struggling— It is easier than to frown. Though he’s ragged, poor and homeless Yet he’s still a God-made man, And for all you know he's doing Just the very best he can. —Gordon Noel Hurtel. For Mr. and Mrs. Wido Mr. and Mrs. J. M.
