What is the sorrow ? A little space
The cry of fallen in thj race;
The dying cry which the world heeds noi

Joy or sorrow will end in rest
Dust, and a rose on a dreamless breasi.
What is ihe sighing? It is noi long:
One in the end are the sigh and song,
One in faith, and one in doubt
The cry of the vanquished ihe vicior's shout.
Victor and vanquished musi creep for rest
When the dust is blown o'er the dreamless breasi.
And what is the transient gloom and glow;
Is ihe beautiful love thai we cling to so,
The rose-red lip, and ihe sparkling eye ?
A gracious greeting a sad goodbye!
With pallid faces and lips grief-prest,
The lovers creep to ihe rose for rest.
So we smile at the dark on the pathway rough;
There shall be sunshine and rest enough,
After the siormy ways are past,
Rest shall be the sweeter at last ai last !

Policeman's Stand Against Im

Two girls were crossing a Coney
Island street. One had on a heavy,
old-fashioned brilliamine bathing
suit, with long skirt, high neck and
elbow sleeves. The other was in
street clothes. A policeman slop
ped them.
"You!" he called to the bathing
beauty, you can t pass here
dressed like that. Go back and
put on some decern clothes!"
The girl looked down at herself,
then up at the policeman and
smiled.
"Why, look at Mme!" she ex
claimed, what about her gelling
by?" The officer glanced ai ihe
oiher eirl. She wore a filmy nei
waisf, glaringly iransparent;gener.
uusly decollete, and a skirt ending
a few inches abover her knees.
"But she is dressed, said ihe

go and put some clothes on or you

THE POWER OF POSITION.
'If I Be Lifted Up I Will Draw
All Men Unto Me '
We began our trip with a day at
Niagara Falls. As we siood watch
ing the rush of mighty waier the
iremendous power of it fascinated
us and made us forget ourselves.
There is enough power in the falls
turn all the wheels of ihat
pari of the country.
Where does Niagara Falls get iis
power? And how is ii thai such
vasi power is stored up in the wa
ter of Niagara, whereas water of
many limes ihat volume, such as
ihe Dead Sea, is powerless? Of
course the power is noi inherent
in the water itself; if ihe Dead Sea
could be raised 10 the top of a cliff
and poured over ihe edge, it also
would have vast power; but there
it lies thirteen hundred feel be
low ihe level of ihe sea
licking ihe power even to lifta tiny
stream oui or us own depths 10
serve the world. No, the power
is not inherent in the water itself:
it is ihe poer of position!
And as I looked at ihe rushing
water, I thought of another power,
not ol water, but of souls the
power of an endless life. What
was ii thai made Paul able to say,
lean do all things through Christ
which strengtheneth me"? It was
not ihe power inherent in Paul
himself, for not many years before
his spiritual power was low like
the water of the Dead Sea. He
had suuk into ihe depths of selfish
ness and sin.
The power of Paul and the pow
er of every soul mighty in Christ
is the power of position. It is he
power of ihe life lived above the
sordid world. Christ said, "And
I, if I be lifted up, will draw all
men unto me." He was "lifted
up," and He has shone down with
his infinite light and warmth into
the sea of sin and raised souls to
himself. There in that position of
power beside Christ we are no
longer helpless like the Dead Sea
but have infinite powerso thai we
can say, "I can do all things."

An Ever Expanding Problem
That the problem of the disabled
service man Is ever-expanding and
probably will not reach the peak be
fore 1925, li the assertion of well-in
formed Government officials aud that
2,387 Red Cross Chapters regard It
as their most Important work la evi
dence that the expansion la In nowise
confined to a particular section but Is,
en the contrary, nation-wide. At the
end of the fiscal year, June SO, 1921,
there were 26,800 disabled service men
in the 1,692 United States Public
Health Service, "Contract and Govern
ment Hospitals and Soldiers Homes,
and that number la Increasing at a
rate of 1,000 a month.
Thousands of these men receiving
medical treatment, compensation and
vocational training from the Govern
ment today, started their efforts to
obtain them through the Red Cross
Chapter. The Chapter, acting as the
disabled man's agent la claims against
the Government, Informs the man ai to
the procedure necettary to gain for
him that which It provided him by
Federal itatute. Hit applications for
compensation, medical treatment and
training are properly filed with the aid
of the Red Cross Cbipter.

If there is delay before the man's

from fear on this score, the msn's re

Every month during the last year,
the American Red Cross has given
service of one kind or another to an

Our mono is "For God and home;" we answer calls of need,
We iry to make a better land, and do ihe kindly deed.
With cheerful minds and willing hearts we do our work each day,
We are too busy for the right for wrong lo lead astray;
Willi nerve and grit that none can break, with strong hearts brave and irue
We'll fight on Lite's great battlefield, and win its honors, too.
We dearly love and will defend our Banner of the Free;
Whose stars and stripes speak to the world of glorious liberty;'
Hail to the colors that we wear, the red, the white, ihe blue,
The emblem of the nation grand, to which all Guards are true.
