PRAYER Great Father, others have been strong and confident, They too have had their wispy, starfdust dreams. To them the world has seemed a flowering continent That bloomed in life's invigorating beams. ,,.,,.f vw'- And we who are as they were, look for them today, 5 -73--'- Uh Father, with their sterling visions. Where are they? Blind giants swing their axes, chopping grass Within a wood of oaks. Swift ships from stormfraked seas Have lost their figureheads and drifting, pass. A racer prays for speed, but stays upon his knees. Yet, if this is the end of those who dream and hope, We still shall smile and challenge all the world. For man is always puny in his vision's scope, And dreams are marchingfbanners, never furled. Our own horizons are a neverfending call: Ch Father, may we answer well before we fall.

HERSCHEL MCCARTY 1908 f 1926 IN MEMORIAM Deep within the vase of memory I keep my dust of roses fresh and clear As in the days before I knew the smart Of time and death. Nor aught can take from me The haunting fragrance that still lingers here - As in a rosefjar so within the heart. X Wherever the bright sun of heaven shall shine, His honour and the greatness of his nhme shall be, and make new nations. . 12 V X Y'-. A 'J E , s N x ZZ' X Q
