A Mother Speaks
“I hold aloft the torch and set it
farther on.
“I have gone down to the brink
of dark waters and from the cold
shadows brought back warm and
precious life.
“I am an inspiration and a vic
tim.
"I have known reverence and in
gratitude, adoration and neglect.
“I have drunk of joys that
Heaven will njt make sweeter.
“I have felt griefs that endless
torment could not make more
keen.
“I have been borne aloft on
wings softer than those of angels.
“I have seen in loving eyes the
light that never was on sea or
land.
“I have known the callous cru
elty of indifference, the pain of be
ing left behlud jn the path of life,
the agony of ‘superiority.’
“I have known the joy of being
told that my white hairs are the
beauty of undying youth.
“I have known the anguish of
being told that I was never young.
“I have known the gladness of
sacrifice and its sweet apprecia
tion.
“I have known the happiness of
remorse for unmeant indifference,
of regret that ‘they did not real
ize.’
“I have slept on pillows softer
than down, in which no unfilial
hand had ever placed a thorn.
“I have received tributes, no
bler than any paid to kings and
warriors, from those who testified
that what they did and were they
owed to me.
“I have seen stalwart sons grow
into the likeness of him I loved,
and sweet daughters become what
I longed to be.
“I have known the glory of ful
fillment, the fame of contented ob
scurity, the humble renown of a
completed mission, the overflow
ing repayment for having given
myself.

And Yonder Lay
the Tenth Bairn
A divinity professor was asked
to preside at the baptism of the
latest-arrived infant in the already
crowded home of the minister of
the parish in Scotland.
The professor gave out one of
the paraphrases often used on
such occasions.
“I*t us,” he said, “sing from
tK second verse, ‘As sparks in
close succession rise.’ ”
To his consternation he observed
that the congregation seemed un
able to repress a giggle.
Afterwards, asking the minis
ter’s man what had been wrong,
he received the reply, “You see,
the minister’s name is Sparks.”
Gift of Humor
T HAD rather be strong, af-
1 fectionate, loyal, noble
minded, than be the best hu
morist in the world, yet if the
gift of humor be added to these
graces, you have a combina
tion that is absolutely irresist
ible, because you have a per
fect sense of proportion that
never allows emotion to degen
erate into gush or virtue into
rigidity.
Thus I say that humor is a
kind 'of divine and crowning
grace in a character, because
it means an artistic sense of
proportion, a true and vital tol
erance, a power of infinite for
giveness.—Arthur Benson.
A Late Lesson
We learn to walk early in life,
but it is not until late in life that
most folks learn how to keep their
feet on the ground at critical
times.—William H. Stuart.

“Good morning, have you had a
nice rest?” the landlady asked her
new lodger.
“No,” was the reply, "your cat
kept me awake.”
“Oh," said the landlady. “1 hope
you are not going to ask me to have
the poor thing destroyed?”
“Not exactly,” said the mild little
man, “but would you very much
mind having it tuned?”—Tit-Bits

tion - value of manufactured prod
ucts in America amounted to $89.60.
For the year 1929 the per unit of
population value of manufactured
products had increased to a total

the demand that called for the
employment of three to four times
the number of workers and re
