CVJIH IDEALS By Iames Allen As you think, you travel, and as you love, you attract. You are today Where your thoughts have brought youp you Will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. You cannot escape the result of your thoughts, but you can endure and learn, can accept and be glad. You will realize the vision tnot the idle Wishl, of your heart, be it base or beautiful, or a mixture of both, for you will always gravitate toward that which you, secretly, most love. Into your hands will be placed the exact re- sult of your thoughtsp you will receive that which you earn, no more, no less. Whatever your present environment may be, you Will fall, remain or rise With your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desirep as great as your dominant aspiration.

THE SMILING NURSE How like an actress in this drama real, She plays her part with unfailing care, Yet, a thousand sorrows she must conceal Beneath her gay assuming air. No task too great in her daily role, Her path of life with sacrifice filled, She strives to reach no faraway goal, Only that her pledges be fulfilled. How, like the Warmth of the summer's glee, The stormy clouds, she would disperse, Yet endless though her duties may be, She ever remains, the smiling nurse. --Andrew C. Harvey MY LADY IN WHITE She stands by my side, The Lady in White And watches my soul depart Frowning the while at the devils' delight As he gathers my ebbing heart. She is neither my sweetheart, My Wife or my mother As she stands by me, thru the night But only a sister who fights for a brother My faithful Lady in White. The World is four walls and heaven nearly The past and the present my bed, Time stands still as she watches me die Yet calmly she pillows my head. It is good just to know there is hidden from sight Grim tears that record my plight, And to feel the cool hands that comfort so well Of the fair little Lady in White. Oh nothing shall linger of birth to the grave But the force of the Lady in White Beginning or ending-there is no pretending- A nurse is God's spirit in Life. CVMH
