Mfg, water gushes forth from its hidden spring and sallies into the ggagmhx sunlight. Slowly it gathers intoa dreamy pool 3 lazily it starts on its long journey.

Now it slips into a shady grove, now it rushes forth down '. f ' 1i a rapid, ever growing as it meets other rippling streams. Their ls, combined waters twist and turn, gather for a moment in a deep f q, E, cool baylet, and then are off again, gurgling noisily into a small - 'l ' -' 53,5 lake. , , -'W The water still flows on,'rippling and sparkling as it is stirred by thecombined gambols of spotted fish and the sports of men 'ff 'JS N - - , - Q 1 which yearly revolve about the lake s pleasant, coollng depths.

It is running faster, now leapng from rock to rock, efgglfig 'agnwf swirling and roaring. Woe to anything that now attempts to fififv ' rf, oppose such a living, crushing force. The spray is flying-the ' gf -' deep, booming roar is unceasing as the river gathers its powers, ,,. ,gif hesitates, and then hurls itself headlong off the cliff, flashing like I 92 lg a sword or a curtain of gems into a downy mass of white mist. i ' But, already on hundreds of wires goes the electric power gener- ,W-. hugo' ated by this leap of water.

To its bitter, turbulent billows are channeled the fresh, sweet waters of the 9.5 M river. Is this, then, the last chapter of the life story of water? , ..,, r Un the contrary, it is but the eternal first. For, from the rising , 7, .Q of the sun to the going down thereof, little drops are being drawn from that immense reservoir of water, being assumed and con- . densedg again riding on the wings of the winds, for the millionth If time carry lifegiving health to nature and man, and beauty to the 'Air f i5 whole world. , ELMER W.

He is tired from the day's labors, his body aches from earning ' Qjfrf' ., ,aj his daily bread by the sweat of his brow, and his ,gli.fh f, fu O mind is worn from the troubles in this vale of SQ ss,a,,6 tears. The struggle and turmoil of the world have sapped his M' '. at - - Qu, fl We strength. At night, as a remedy, comes the Wonderful gift of Ntgggj ff v 5,5 I .V God-sleep. 311352 God alone knows what sleep is and God alone could grant such rg , Nb a gift to mankind. First, sleep purges the body of its poisons. is 4, Next, it gives the wearied body la healing rest. Finally, its enrich- 'A gf fwge ing qualities renew the worn portions and invigorates them for figs, QR Hy ii? their work on the morrow. Sleep does this for the body, Pen- W 3lg1'. ance does all this and more for the soul. Q l DIA,-' The first and most important work of Penance is to rid the . X1 soul of its poisonous and heinous burden of sin. This is accom- plished in a two-fold manner. First, it cleanses the soul in the 2' , ajxt, sig t o o . econ y, it ceanses our sou in our own sg t ., J QWA' 'h fed s dl '1 1' sth ' and gives us the pleasing frame of mind called a clear cron- - ' sf science. All the stains of the soul, gathered from its conrtact with the world is also cleaned away. 'Q Tis Following that, Penance gives that wonderful and Heaven- like rest to the soul. When the soul has been freed from the JV heavy burden of sin, it rises from its ignominy and cringing posi- ..- fggfg. N L, tion to face the world. Feeling rested, with this depressing load ' :L ll- removed, the soul is free and full of lvigor. In a forward mood, -p ,gh , it marches forth as a soldier of Christ to fight for God against 'Jig-gfsf2w4 ' . the devil and other enemies of God and man. In the terrible 'gif struggle with the devil and forces of the world, we need all the - , Q s . . gijygh QF-9 .4 strength and v1r1le forces we can muster to fight a successful a ghgcg battle in the army of the Church Militant. For thegrueling and painstaking work of a priest, one must '-51.53 i 15. have .the aid of these two sleeps, the physical and spiritual- ' ' especially the spiritual. As with all virtues, regularity is the key 4.4522 to success. So, now, in the habit-formin time of our outh, we 'Ei' ' Vu ce-le . . . gi . . y . A3 ' ,ld should lay the foundation. With this beautiful habit acquired ',.,-sqif now, we can look forward to spiritual rest later in life. We will , 'ix ,f QQX be priests worthy of the name and privileges conferred on us by my pie Almighty God. JOHN S. MALONEY, '30, 'I G ...fa v .l ,I H 3 AL' is , A5 -s,--.ss sl' 'fail ' 'Y . I .
