As the years mark time on the mystic page And the white frost rests on the crown of age. And the far call comes from beyond the sky In a sort of sunset lullaby, It is sweet to pause in the rose-red west Just to muse of those that we loved the best! It is sweet to dream of the ones we knew In the far oH' world with its dome of blue; It is sweet to pause in the sunset land bora backward glance at the childish hind; l-'or a ling'ring look, ere the frost w inds blow, At the ones t e loved in the long ago ! Ah ! the ones w e loved in the long ago 1 They have drifted far with the ebb and (low, They have sailed their crafts on the open sea To the harbor's rest or the tide's debris. Ah ! the trusts that failed and the prizes missed., And the cold dead lips of the hopes we kissed ! Like the frost scarred leaves of a ripened rose On the tangled path where the soFi wind blows. We may rest an hour in the warming sun We may rest and dream of the journey run -Mm the night is near and the petals blow To the ones we loved in the long ago 1 MOTHER'S WAY.

You remember mother's way- how she came and went Like a messenger of hloom on sweet missions sent. You remember mother's w ay tenderly ami mild. How ii brought such comforting to a little child. Lverythiug was mother's way - toil and song and rest, l-'rom the dawn until the dream on her tender breast. You remember mother's way no one else could do Just the same as her; at leasi, so it seemed to you. No one else could cook or mend, keep the house as sweet, do and come as soft as dream on such noiseless feel; Sweep and dust and tidy up, and ai,eveniide Sing the sweet old hymns of faith at the ingleside. You remember mother's w ay w hen you fell so sick. Didn't want to lift your head, couldn't turn a lick You remember mother's way - how her presence made Blossoms spring around your bed, gardens cool with shade; Bandage here and poultice there, old-time herbs and things. And her moving around the room as an angel on wings. You remember mother's way - when the aiiic room Seemed so far and far aw ay, horrible w ith gloom, 1 low she'd wail upon the stairs with the light to keep Vigil till her linle child fell in childhood sleep; I low you iust forgot the gliosis and the spooks and frights. When in mother's way she sal in those olden nights. You remember mother's w ay every now and then Some remembered sweetness dawns in the hearts of men, Drifting as the shadows drill, insubslaiilial, frail, i:,i!im;', back the v anished days from the leafy vale; Calling back the echoes lost when siK. eeased to sing In thai laud where April soars on auroral wing. You remember mother's way blessed dream ol her, And her phantom beamy walks where the dead leaves stir; When the winds of autumn touch he.u strings w ith their thrill Memory wanders back again over vale and lull To ihe little home of love, in the shadows gray, l-'or remembered ministries of a mother's w ay.

A gentleman once asked a Sab bath school what was meant by the word "repentance." A little boy raised his hand. "Well, what is it, my lad?" "Being sorry for your sins," was the answer. A little girl in the back seat raised her hand. "Well, my little girl, what do you think? 'i asked the gentleman. "1 think," said the child, it's be ing sorry enough to quit."
