Out of the crushing burden of might Into the light of the growing dawn Into the sunrise where fear is gone Into a, venture to sail away Into the promise of new-born day. Berniece Hasking Balle FORSAKEN Just an old adobe cabin With it's windows broken out. Across its sagging doorway Swings a battered water spout Its chimney's toppling over The roof is caving in, Perhaps it may be yearning For those loved ones back again. It appears as sadly weeping When the rain so gently falls. Is it sorrow caused from "ghost-sounds" "ghost-sounds" - Within its crumbling walls? J It may hear the merry laughter Of young folks gathered there Or the sacred tones of worship While holding family prayer. I fancy it hears the patter Of a baby's tiny feet Or the faint ethereal strains Of melodeon music sweet 7 A delicious spicy perfume Still lingers in the air From its old abandoned garden, Once a grandmother's pride and care. Whither the cherished loved ones Long since come and gone ? Some no doubt have journeyed To their Mansions Far Beyond While those carefree little folks To adulthood now have grown And are happily raising families In a cottage of their own. Mrs. Theo Pierson ALTERNATIVE The ideals of peace tower high! When all the motley crowds Of earth transcend the clouds To touch the lofty, clear, clean sky Of reason, No more men will die On battlegrounds. But since that radiant insight Is' obscured by flourishing greed That fattens on another's need, An omnipresent parasite, I wish my son well trained to fight His foes in war.
