Thy home was Virtue's Castle Where flowerlike hearts grew fair, But thou in perfect beauty Surpassed all other there. Thy child-heart throbbed for Jesus, Thou didst pledge thy early vows. For yet in childh0od's springtime He sealed thee as His spouse. v mai To The Little Flower St. Therese of Jesus O Little Flower Of Jesus! Transplanted by His Hand From Carme1's lily gar- den Unto the Eternal land. The sweetness of thy power, The burning words of love ,Are now in Showers of roses Sent earthward from above. O Child-Heart. fragrant lily! Enthralled by joys above. The earth thy erstwhile dwelling Still claims to share thy love. Thy favors, Showers of roses, Thus answer every prayer. O Little Saint of Wonders May we your roses share? -A Client of the Little Saint. ONE HUNDRED AND THREE

SPRING In the songs of birds, so sweet and clear In their little hops, so blithe and gay In the balmy breeze, which ceases not With the night, nor yet at break of day Spring is evident. In the changing hue of grass and trees Which for many months were drab and bare KH not still clothed in a sheet of whitel Now in fresh green beauty everywhere Spring is evident. In the corresponding change of dress VVhich all, yes the old and young affect In the lazy gait of passers-by In the groups that here and there collect Spring is evident. We all do know it when it comes It is not known to just a few We all have learned to read the signs Why in every shape and form and hue Spring is evident! SUNSHINE Friendly meetings Now and then, Friendly greetings Cheer us when All seems uselessg We're so blue, Thinking: Fruitless All we dol Hearty handclasps When we meet, Make life seem the More complete. Kindly wishes Oft-expressed Urge us on to Do our best. Just a gay smile Here and there Is worth-while Yes, everywhere. just a gay smile Any time Helps to keep our Lives in rhyme. -AGNES KESSLER 26 ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE
