THE RHYMING OPTIMIST y Aline MY TASK a A task have I: To bring always My share of gladness to the days, That other lives, perhaps less bright, May gleam some glimpses of delight To cheer their shadowed ways. A task have I: to find content Though stin sometimes with shade is blent, To seek some wiser hand than chance In every quirk of circumstance And solve the message sent. A task have I: to pass along The cadences of carefree song And send their echo far afield Till right and beauty stand re- vealed Where all' had seemed but wrong. For all that comes to me of good I greet with truest gratitude; Good gifts are given only in trust, And I who would be always just Share them in humble mood. Most God-like Dower This, then, is more than all the rest men prize, Than any claims of Earth's most ancient race, Than any group the potentates devise, Or any wonders of a well-loved face, For every race has had unworthy heirs, The proudest dynasties have fallen to dust, And Beauty's boast will all be- come despairs When:ruthless Time has blurr- ed them as he must. This, then, is more -- the power that defies Old Time and all the whims of chance and change, The force that far beneath life's surface lies, But dimly glimpsed as some-, thing vast and strange. Most God-like dower, this, of all Earth's dream, The will that rules, invincible, supreme! Circles of Faith Take from the world its crosses, their sorrows; Seek, openly, elysian enchantments, And, every morn shall bring glad Tomorrows, Spreading God's sunshine o'er earth's escarp- ments. Enchantments are as practical as streets, Within a town, if men will have it so, As there is joy in sharing what entreats, To standards meet, to a fair entrepot. There is a faith which builds on others' loss, As though Life's highest good were to im- pose On fellow-men, restraint$ from what is dross For them, and, on the faithful health be- stows. There is a destiny where man is found, A plaintive suppliant for grace, and sign, That, somehow, he shall make his life redound To mankind's good, wherein '"Thy weal is mine."' To make thyself a hostage to the race, Needing palladium as friend and guide, -- Gives to thy life a truly happy place, Among thy fellows, wheresoe'er abide. To make each day a conscious jubilee, In which unconscious ends are realized Phrough contacts oft unknown, builds sacristy Of life, in which no one is sacrificed. 30-3-29 --R. R.

The political forces of Great Britain are mustering all followers under their banners to prepare for the great onslaught which will take place on May 20th, when a record poll is expected. If the recent by-elections in the Old Country are any criterion, the outlook would appear bad for Premier Stanley Baldwin and his Conservative Government. Mr. Ramsay Macdonald, (left) leader of the Labor Party, is very confident of victory in view of the fact that ninety per cent. of his clashes with the Government and Liberal par- ties in the by-elections have resulted in his favor, while Mr. Lloyd George, war-time Premier and Leader of the Liberal Party, ex- pects to turn the scale with his new unemployment platform. Premier Baldwin (inset) says nothing but continues smilingly on his way. He knows that his Government was responsible for the franchise recently given to the female voters in the Old Country and that means 5,000,000 more voters this coming May. It remains to be seen whether the new voters are fickle. 1 pay for it out of your HOUSEHOLD BUDGET You will marvel at its beauty, cleanliness, efficiency, and re- joice in release from drip pans, drain pipes, and food contam- ination. 7 ERE is the chance you have been waiting for to make your dreams of electric refrigeration come true.
