nurse, who battle with life and
their own natures with all the

"Recompense" tells the story
of Peter and Julie from the time

Africa. Alone they work out
their individual salvation, grow

process, until circumstances bring
them together again in happineas.

TWICE A TREASURE
(A true Christmas story).
Part 1
A picture hangs on our living room
..wall -
Encircled In a band of gold.
A pure white cross in the center
stands.
Beneath is a cluster of graceful
ferna
Of many different kinds.
Some are short and some are tall
And 'round this cross they twine.
It was given me by a teacher, dear.
When 1 was a little child,
And it came from deep in Santa's
sack
Who came bounding Into our room
one day,
AU dressed in fur with a long while
beard,
As Jolly a Santa as ever could be.
1 loved it then because of the mem
ories that came
Each time I ran across it upon, the
closet ahelf.
For It told of happy school days
and a teacher fond and true.
Part II
In after years, 1 drew once moro
This treasure from its hiding place
And hung it on the wall.
The change la me, then revealed
in it
The artist's meaning hidden there
And then I thought "I wonder j
That I had not seen it so before." j
O' beautiful cross! With arms out-
stretched I
To all who are In need of peace
With your stately shaft so straight
and strong
PolnUng heavenward, all day long!
You tell me of the Infant Christ
Who came to earth so long ago.
To teach us how to live.
And the ferns beneath are the
blessings that come
To those who try to obey his will.
And tho' centuries have come and
gone
Since the Savior of mankind was
here
His truths still stand like a marble
cross
And the happiest people In all the
world
Are the ones who put their trust In
Him.

WHOSE BOYf
If I should fill Die wood-box up
Or pick up every toy
Or sit quite still to read my book
Then I'd be. mamma's boy, -
If I should always shut the gate
And not tease nor annoy
And- always help to do the chores
Then I'd be papa's boy.
And once when uncle came to dins
He said hed much enjoy
My company If I'd agree
To be ins little boy.
But grandma said one dav to ma
"You always bring me Joy,
No matter what you do or be
xoure always my little boy."
