4 -Q, 5 1... ,. 1 zu M E 'ROE' .gf , iss A Page's Desire Once in the days of Chivalry At the time of king Arthur's reign, There served in a castle over the sea Pages attending a lady's train. One night these pages stood, round a Each dreamed of the day that would n a knight, Each told to the others of his desire. Thus they chatted far into the night. One page, who served at his master's feasts, Spoke of the grand knight he would be, How bravely he'd fight both men and beasts! Then praise of fair ladies will be mine, said he. The dreams of another were hazy and slow, fire, lake him He scarcely knew of any desire, He thought his ambition with the years might grow, But he doubted if he cared to be even a squire. Another then spoke of the ehivalrous deeds That surely would win him acclaim, The tournaments and the heroic feats, Surpassing in valor all knights of fame. But one small page, quiet and shy, Yet lacking not spirit when courage was sought Made answer, when questioned, as he looked to the sky, My only desire-to be a knight of God. Gaoncn SHAFFER The Holy Grail According to legend the Holy Grail is the cup or bowl from which Christ drank at the Last Supper. After the Last Supper the cup came into possession of Joseph of Arimathea, who caught in it some of the blood that flowed from the wounds of the crucified Saviour. Being miraculously brought to England to escape per- secution, he carried the precious vessel with him. Throughout his life it furnished him with food and drink, and with spiritual sustenance as well, and at his death he charged his successor to guard it faithfully. It was handed down from generation to generation. According to other versions, the grail chose its own knights. It possesses miraculous properties, and at times is instinct with divine life. To discover its abiding place and become one of its guardians is the ambition of good and valiant men, but only the pure in heart may find it. One form of the legend represents three of Arthur's knights, Galahad, Perceval, and Bors, as being blessed with a sight of the holy relic. Galahad is said to have had it in his possession, and at his death transferred it to Pereeval. After the death of the latter the cup was taken up into Heaven. When the French romancers of the twelfth century began to develop the grail idea,-the idea of a sacramental symbol, dwelling among men but discoverable only to the brave and pure, they wove into their narrations tales of chivalry, mysterious adventure and legends of folklore. GERALDINE MCHENRY. Crowned Success T'is not the man who knows his goal, To whom successive graces flow, But he who works with heart and soul, For work makes small successes grow. To know that something can be done, I s nothing great, we know, 26 By doing, will success be won, For work makes small successes grow. And countless work, will bring to end, A life that's reached its goal, As sure as countless prayers will send, To heaven, cleansed, a soul. L. R. Hnnzmc
