OF INTEREST IN THE
SOCIAL REALM
WHY?
By Byron R. Newton, in New York
Herald
The night winds steal over the fields
of France,
Where a million dead men lie,
And a million ghastly faces there
mutely asking, Why?
are the heavens red with hate
From the cannon s angry flare?
Why must the eyes of the pitying
Christ
See myraids dying there?
Why from the Alps must snow-fed
streams
With brave men’s blood run red?
Why are the bodies of innocent babes
Strewing the ocean’s bed?
Why are starvation and sorrow and
pain
And terror in every clime?
Why are the souls of men cast down
With death at this Christmas time?
What has happened, 0 God, to your
beautiful world,
Aflame with the furies of death?
What demon has vanished sweet
peace from the earth?
And loosened hell’s withering
breath?
Answer, O Teuton! —the secret is
thine—
Give us thy creed of hell,
For on the final judgment day
God will make you tell.
Out with your kultur of lust and
blood
And rape and demon skill!
Tell us, O Hun, of the subtle joy
To crucify and kill.
Tell us, vile monster in human form,
By whom your soul was planned.
And where that soul may be at peace
By God and mortal damned!
Blessed is the man who has the
gift of making friends; for it is one
of God’s best gifts. It involves many
things, but above all the power of
going out of one’s own self, and see
ing and appreciating whatever is no
ble and loving in another man. —
Hughes.
Nothing will so much delight the
mind as a faithful and pleasing
friendship. How great a good is it
when the hearts are prepared, where
in a man may safely bury all his se
crets, whose conscience thou fearest
less than thy own, whose words may
terrify thy discontents, whose coun
sel can resolve thy doubts, whose
mirth may dissipate thy sorrow, and
whose countenance may comfort
thee.—Seneca. *

day afternoon, Jan. 10, at 3 o’clock.
The December meeting having been
deferred on account of severe weath
er, business matters of importance
will be discussed at the meeting
next week and the president urges
a full attendance, all present
promptly at 3 o'clock.
CHILDREN AND RIFLES
Christmas week, the small boy and
the air gun seem intimately linked
and the two latter have almost be
come a nuisance_within the city lim
its. There is no common sense in
arming a child with a shot gun or
air rifle and a pocket full of car
tridges with the streets and private
premises for practice. A youngster
either doesn’t know br forgets that
he is trespassing when he goes into
one’s back yard to shoot birds. If
you must buy your boy a gun teach
him to go to the fields and woods to
shoot game.
