HEART YEARNINGS 13 Of verdure and of flowers 3 so round about Eyeing the light, on' more than million thrones Stood eminent, whatever from the earth Has to the skies returned. -Il Paradiso. Robert L. Chambers. 61112 Bamning Bag The darkening shroud of night now slips away, The cloudless east is Hooded with a light And painted, as by artist's touches, bright With crimson welcome to awakening day. No motion of the vessels on the bay, No hurry of a bustling city's mightg But only peace and solace in a sight, When man still slept and nature yet was gay. Oh ne'er can sight be seen, a sight more grand, A sight more full of nature's beauteous charm, Than when the night is rolled away from earth, Defeated by the first appearing arm Of burning sunlight, that to all the land Is herald of the joyous daylight's birth. Chas. B. Lafferty.

12 IGNATIAN great gifts by an intimate association with their Author and Creator. Through revelation we gain a knowledge of God, but this knowledge only causes us to seek a more perfect understanding, and hence a greater love of the Divine Being. Perfect happiness, we can therefore see, must consist of a union with God in all that would serve to make this union perfect-in knowledge and love. As St. Paul says, In Him it hath well pleased the Father that all fulness should dwell. What joy and happiness awaits those fortunate among men who pass within that abode over whose portals are writ- ten the words No sorrow enter heref' no pen such as mine can describe. The mind will find opened to it the eternal truths of the fountain of knowledge, the heart will be en- gulfed in Divine Love, to the exclusion of all fear or unrest, and then will the possession of these two great gifts so per- meate the soul of man, as to bring with them a life of eternal rest, a haven of perpetual peace, where warring passions cease to trouble, and where heart yearnings are no more. Here shall be beauty and joyance and light, as Dante says so beautifully: O Prime Enlightener! Thou who gavest me strength On the high triumph of thy realm to gaze, Grant virtue now to utter what I kennid. There is in heaven a light, whose goodly shine Makes the Creator visible to all Created, that in seeing Him alone Have peace, and in a circle spreads so far, That the circumference were too loose a zone To girdle in the sun. All is one beam Reflected from the summit of the first That moves, which being hence and vigor takes, And as some cliff, that from the bottom eyes HiS image mirror'd in the crystal Hood, As if to admire his brave appareling

Qnprlema Tinting HISTLING cheerfully, Jack Hardy was cross- ing the campus when Patsy Horgan, the yy varsity coapqh, firsthespiedhhim.

Even the unsophisticated Freshies knew him for what he was-the man, who since the dawn of the Rugby era upon the Pacific Coast, had turned out team after team of winners for Stoneiield University. Strange I haven't seen you out for practice, my boy, pursued the coach as his eye measured the splendid build of the younger man. What's your name ? he continued. Not strange at all, drawled Jack. I haven't been out. That's the main reason. My name is Hardy-Jack Hardy, he supplemented, eyeing the coach with frank curiosity. Well, then, why haven't you P demanded Horgan, again surveying the massive shoulders of his companion. I've just been in college about a week, retorted Jack, and moreover I hardly know the goal posts from the dress- ing-room about Rugby. I knew it was too late in the sea- son to come out for elementary practice. You're a Freshman, then? interposed the coach. No, Sophomore, smiled Hardy. I spent my Fresh- man year at Michigan. Coach Horgan viewed the youth with newly awakened interest. Last fall,', he remarked, a Michigan Freshman's drop kick won the game from Chicago. That Freshman's name was Hardy, he added with a questioning glance up at jack. For Horgan was as small in stature as his successes were great. Hardy reddened under the coach's gaze but finally an- swered. I guess I'll have to plead guilty as charged, he smiled, and then sought to change the subject. But Patsy Horgan was not to be denied.
