Shading SEPTEMBER 21, 1916 ji N THE beginning was the Christ, and the Christ was with God, and the Christ was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, but the world knew Him not. He came to His own but His own received Him not. But as many as did receive Him, to them gave He power — power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. And the Christ was made flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth. And of His fulness we all haw received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared Him.

A atui I hear a song — ' tis the song of the sea, As it breaks on its granite bar; I hear a song — ' tis the song of the wind. As it blows o ' er the waves from afar. I hear a call — ' tis the call of war, And it rings from sea to sea; I hear a call — ' tis the call of the fight. On the earth, in the sky. in me. I hear a shout — ' tis the shout of men, As they rise to answer the call; I hear a shout — ' tis the shout of our boys, As they follow the colors, all ! Madge Bryan
