MORNING AND EVENING.
By Kx Uovernor bob Taylor, of
Tennessee.
"I saw the morning, with purple i
quiver anil burnished bow, stand
tiptoe on tlie horizon and shoot
sunbeams at the vanishing dark-.
ness of night, then reach up and j
gather ihe stars and hide them in i
her tvjsom, and then bend down
and tickle the slumbering world j
wiih Mraws of light till it woke i
with laughter and with song. A !
thousand bugle- calls from rosy
fires of the east heralded her coin
ing; a thousand smiling meadows
kissed her garments as she passed,
and ten thousand laughing gardens
unlurled their flower flags to greet
her. The heart of the deep forest
throbbed a tribute of birdsongs,
and the bright waters rippled a
melody of welcome. Young life
and love, radiant with hope and
sparkling with dew drops of exul
tant joy, came hand in hand, trip
ping and dancing in her shining
train, and I wished that the heaven
of the morning might last forever.
"1 saw the evening hang her
silver crescent on the sky and
rival splendor of the dawn with
the glory of the twilight. I saw
her wrap the shadows around her,
and with a lullaby on her lips.rock
the weary world to rest; then 1
saw her with her dipper full of
dew droDS and her basket lull of
dreams, slip back to the horizon
of the morning and steal the stars
again. The gardens furled their
flag flowers and the meadows fell
asleep; the song of the forest fell
into silence, and the melancholy
water whispered a pensive good
night to the drowsy birds and
sleepy hollows. Life and love.
with halo of parting day upon their
brows and the starlight tingled in
their hair walked arm inarm among
the gathering shadows and wove
all the sweet memories of the
morning into their happy evening
that it might never end.
"Thus life steals us from the
dust. We wake to think and sleep
to dream. We love, and laugh,
and weep, and sing, and sigh, un
til death steals us back 10 dust
again.

LOOK UP.
BALLROOM PATHOS.
Look up, not down I The skies are overhead,
Where still are shining sun and stars and moon;
What if today the clouds make dark the noon ?
The sweet light will return w hen clouds have fled
Look up in hope ? Above the watery waste
God's spirit broods, and some day lite new earth
Will find, out of the throes of this rebirth,
it's Paradise, but God is not in haste.
Look up and trust ! Above the wrath of man,
Above the swirl of jealousies and hate,
Unmoved the throne of God; just wait;
Tomorrow you will see His perfect plan.
I ook up ! The Right nitisi have ihe right of way;
Might is but weakness when allied Willi Wrong;
The powers of righteousness, when few, are strong,
And in the conflict ever win the day.
Look up, O soul, and fear not the ark !
The fl ighted dove her olive-leaf will bring;
The waters will subside, and a new spring
Will tell of bright days glowing from the dark.
Tragedy oi the Yearning Heart
That Was Left to Itself
A UNIQUE ADDRESS,
THIS PREACHER HAS A WAY OF HIS OWN.
J. Whitcomb Brougher has never yet followed in the footsteps of a
living soul. He has a way of bis own; he is different. After tall, there
is nothing so interesting as a variety. The trouble with most preachers
is that they are commonplace. They say w hat they are expected to
say, and what others have said. If they have any originality they are
afraid to show it. They dread sensationalism more than they do dull
ness. No, we would not have preachers preach like Brougher, but
we are glad that he preaches as he does. If he preaches as we preach
he would preach to congregations "as small and select" as the congre
gations to which we preach. At the Los Angeles Convention Dr.
Brougher gave an address of welcome which was "Brougher classic."
In this address he said :
You are as welcome as the sunshine after a storm. You are as wel
come as a summer after a winter in Chicago. You are as welcome as
the first baby in a new home. You are as welcome as a baby at
Methodist christening. You are as welcome as the whale was to Jonah
when "all at sea." You are as welcome as a meal to a hobo. You
are as welcome as a watermelon to a negro. You are as welcome as a
sweetheart to an old maid. You are as welcome as a pretty girl to an
old bachelor. You are as welcome as a moiher-m-law s departure on
a long journey. You are as welcome as a vacation to a school kid
You are as welcome as a base-ball game is to a fan. You are as wel
come as a tip to a waiter. You are as welcome as a big salary to
prcacheis. You arc as welcome as a successful election to a doubtful
candidate. You are as welcome as prosperous times to a Democratic
administration. You are as welcome as European peace would be to
the world. If you can think of anything else that is more welcome
than anything 1 have mentioned, then that is just how welcome you
are.

The fourth dunce was nearly
over, and she was still sitting by
the wall, her hands clasped in her
lap and her blank program dang
ling at her side. The expression
of pleasure which had been spon
taneous at the beginning of the
evening had become fixed and
strained through the long period
of waiting. At last the music
ceased, and ihe dancers Hushed
and laughing, scattered about the
hall.
The girl rose stiffly and tried to
mingle with the crowd. A few
acquaintances, nodded absently,
then moved away. Bold in her
distress, she elbowed her way into
a noisy group and laid her hand
timidly upon the arm of one of the
girls,
"Thai's a pretty dress, Marie,"
she said, trying 10 smile. "Thank
you. Are you having a good lime?"
'Lovely," she answered, with a
brave attempt to smile. Her friend
hesitated, then turned deliberately
to her own coterie.
The wall flower stood awkward
ly outside the closed circle, then
pushed toward another group.
The music started up; there was
mad confusion, and the girl was
caught in a scurry of young men
finding their partners. Left alone
in the middle of the floor and buf
feted by the dancers, there was
nothing for her 10 do but seek the
wall again.
Her cheeks burned in confusion
as she found herself again sur
rounded by vacant chairs. She
moved to the side of two girls sit
ting farther down the hall. For a
moment she felt less conspicuous,
But both girls were claimed by
their partners, and she was left
alone against the wall. Pretty girls
glanced at her with genuine pity;
girls of uncertain popularity eyed
her scornfully as they passed.
At IumI, blinded tiy d I uaii uf liot
tears, she arose and went from the
music and merriment into the si

room. ban hrancisco Kulleim.
