The sparrows vary in sizé more than they v: or markings, and the manner of the bird and its warbling, and any pecu- iarity of flight, are helps to_its iden- v which serve better than distinetive marks which are not always in evi- dence. The fox and white throated sparrows began to arrive from the niorth on the closing days 6f Septem- 'ber, with other migrating bifds; and sparrows in flocks are exploring gar- dens for seeds. A flock of English! spartows, old and voung birds to-! gether, carry nearly every color known to sparrowdom. even to white, al- though I have never seen an English sparrow with white tail feathers, éx- cept in case of an albino. The chippy and the white throat, white crown and fox sparrows may be told at a glance | as well as the male English or song sparrow, but the others are difficult to identify. We all have to face the inevitable; and it is something the human soul has never been able to get used to whatever our hopes or our faith. But béreavement is & challenge to all that i best within us. and through tears and heartaches we rise to greater con- ceptions of truth and a fuller recog- nition of Divine power. “Through the valley of the shadow of death Thy rod and Thy staff do comfort me,” is mur- mured by Memory With angelic im- pressiveness—with the force of a reve- fation. In the hour when we seem to lose heart and voice We are not per- mitted to 10se hope. Hope is strongest when it shines forth from the dark background of affliction. ‘“The best antidote for sorrow,” says Young, “is employm, and- Tennyson reminds us that “Sorrow’s crown of sorrow is remembering happler things." Do you. realize that no book can hold all of truth, and no mortal mind can comprehend if, for truth pervades the universe, and is it! We find it mucl easier to speak the truth than to liv it; and the fruth we take from others and do not let possess us and become our possession, is like a false tooth or a mask. There no fooling with truth. There are times when eyen the truth is dangerous, when ptudence re- quires that it should be hidden in silence. That old proverb, “Tell the truth and shame the Devil” was made before it was discovered that “Dis- cretion is the better part of valor. It is always more profitable to apply the truth to ourselves and t6 try to make it manifest in our lives than to at- tempt to use it to measure others. The more we keep truth within us the better we shall know the way of truth. We never can be as great as truth; but truth can develop greatness in us. While we are pitying the afflicted in these death-dealing times we oves look the demands of the nurse upon our consideration and sympathy. Therc are few patients who are amiable to the nurse; or regard her with the af< fection she deserves in civil life. Mrs. Blaine in her reminiscences says: “f call the nurse everything I can think of: “Goody, a Witch, a Crone, an old Fag, a Circe, & Fateful Sister: in fact, she is only a nurse, but if you will transpose the n into a c you will hit her character much better.” - This is olaimed that it is reclatmed the.

There is & cele- brated answer to General Trevino which was a model of resolution, in térms that could not be misunder- stood. It probably averted a war with Mexico. Beyond ‘doubt General Pershing would never have been s lected for the command in France if he had not powerfully pressed President Wilson with his discern- ment, restraiit and patience as well as with his soldierly qualities. . Some day the whole story of Gen- eral Pershing’s organization and training of the American army in France will be written.. It was herculean task. It bristled with dif of of American troops as little moré than raw material and the = requirements that they be brigaded with the Allies was reasonable. American officers had to go to sohool to French and British officers. The men had to take 4 long and_ vigorous post-graduate jcourse in the A B C of warfare. But all the tims Pershing was working for a separate, a in a place of danger in the line in any emergency. At the end of a year, or less time, the Americans under his skillful hand were ready to fight like veterans when called upon.
