Five emerald sepals round the whole He deftly did unfold. And to support this new-made flower A thorny stalk He chose. He placed on it His living jewel- And lo! it was a rose!

She paused before the water. Gallantly Sir Walter seeing a lady ln distress threw his cloak down. She walked over it and offered Raleigh a grand reward. Our young friend is amazed as she watches history repeat itself. Tired physically from dancing and mentally from the flow of knowledge poured forth everywhere, she and her partner, lanky Abe Lincoln, retired to a remote corner. Abe observed Ophelia crying and went to her. He left our senior to her own whims and she wandered away from the joy- making crowd to the peaceful shores. In a far off place she saw hapless beautiful Dido weep- ing as if her heart would break. Pitying her the dreamer went to her and inquired her grievance. Reluctantly Dido explained that she was longing for a sight of Aeneas, her beloved who left her years before. Some distance away, she came upon Shylock counting his gold. As he laid down a stack, he looked suspiciously at Crmsus, the Lydian, who also summed up oodles of money. 0h! now I know why we say as rich of Crcesusw and as miserly as Shylocku, said the adventuress, as she left to rejoin the party. Arriving at the scene of festivities, she found the men enjoying a good cigar and the women chatting. She joined the latter group. Oddly enough she found them extremely human, even after their years in Elysium Fields. .lust when she was becoming acquainted, funny Charon's bell tinkled, and ere our senior had time to run, she awoke to find it was all a dream.

q9V ug FU 7 A ' 'WLVQ tithe Saupremz Actor Behold the Supreme Actor, the Actor of Actors, to whom was given the extraordinary and difficult role requiring the deft touch and the boundless sympathy of an Artist who thoroughly understands the sufferings and hardships of human nature For is He not the Maker of the universe and its populace and did He not assume our nature that He might show us the correct way to walk the straight and narrow path to heaven? The stage is the world surrounded with a trellis of dark and bright colors Casting shadows on the earth now dark and resisting, now cheerful and inviting Before the stage is seated the most distinguished Audience, Almighty God, and the Heavenly Court The understanding between the Actor and the Audience is perfect In the maiestic role the part He is about to portray, the lofty standards of truth, beauty and goodness reign supreme As each scene changes necessitating greater skill, the act is performed in an unhurryin and unperturbed manner It concerns Him not whether the setting is now in a cave nom in a temple-now in the mist of tears, now under running laughter He played His part and played it well in every scene Neither did the faulty performances of His comrades trouble Him First it was the heard hearted Herod then the rude Fishermen, once the hypocritical Pharisees, at another time the weak Pontius Pilate and the cruel executioners There IS a sharp contrast between these and the sublime characters including the Blessed Virgin and St Joseph whose home is governed by obedience He took the part of a humble child before the three Wise Men a marvelous young prodigy among the great doctors of His time, the affectionate Master of St John, while at the same time He was the Lord Whom St Peter loved even unto death This cannot be called a vain display because the one and only purpose in revealing His talents was to please His celestial Audience among whom was His August Heasenly Father It was Love alone sweet, tender Love that urged His every movement There was no ennui, no tarry ing in His acting, even as the end of His career drew nigh and darkest moments threatened' shadows and gloom dared to enshroud the stage, when His passionate love incited His begging the Father to permit Him to drink the bitter chalice to the dregs. At times His fellow-actors faltered in their parts forgetting their lines and doing in- ferior acting before this select Audience. Then with all the pomp and grace of a king Our Supreme Actor showed forth the truth and beauty of His acting. It required self-mastery and the conquest of human feelings to keep ones soul in peace while others failed before the ever-knowing and kind Audience. Now what made His acting supreme? The answer is simple very simple for He was just His true self no camouflage. Without effort or excessive exertion His part formed one continuous prayer-the union between the Actor and Audience. He was always Himself, just giving Himself. His Audience understood Him perfectly and their applause made Him put forth every effort to win their favor. Then. when the scene shifted from Calvary to Heaven the Invisible Choir chanted the sublime, unending and everlasting praises of an Actor, true to Himself, the Supreme Actor.
