"I have gone down to the brink of dark waters and from the cold 'shadows brought back warm and precious life. 1 "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 not 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 behind on 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. “I AM A MOTHER.”—Frank A. Marshall. 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. “^et us,” he said, "sing from Or 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 I 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.
