Dare Be the
I Thing You Are !
| By DOUGLAS MALLOCH |
/T* O DARE to be he you are,
-* N-?t something else to seem.
Your Journey near, your Journey far, .
- ? And dark, or itl- (gleam?
. ^iv m ?Ik your way with heaJ erect,
Whatever it may be.
Will bring you ;n<?rc -?f men's respect.
Than cheap chicanery.
To wear a gloss, a r' in veneer.
Your inner self to bile.
Rome other person to appear,
Mav please voitr petty pride.
May satisfy you for a day,
A little while deceive?
But men shall tour the mask awajr
And doubt who now believe.
If you are poor, to dare be p*?or
Is truly to be rich;
To live. If n.'ed he. on tho m?K>r,
If fated walk fhe ditch
Will bring you more regard, I Kno^
Than velvet garment* gay.
Than till the artificial show
For which you cannot pay.
If rl^b or poor. !f small or
If ^g?? is yours, or youtli.
Whatever fortune, 'ever fate.
Your greatest -harm la troth;
And they . ore quickly ttinl the dream.
The goal, however far.
Who 'hi a s. 'Miethiug try to seem
Hut so.'iu tho thing they are!

It is a picture hard to comprehend
because it :s so foreign to anything
most people of this country, blessed
I with neace and plenty, huma nkir.dness
and a wholesome fear of God
hi-ve ever witnessed. It is possible
; to the near east because there, instead
of Christianity, is a setting of
Mohammedan cruelty, of Turkish
brutality that beggars the most terrible
adjective of the language to describe.
Could Dr. Yonan speak to all
of the American people a she spoke
last night, there need never be an:
other appeal uttered on behalf of the
Armenians, tht near east. Provision
