At Children of the Crusade Dy JEANNE JUDSON. Frightened and pitiful, thoy wnlk npnrt, Through tho fumlllur vlllngo street, grown strange," 11 ami claspod in hand, thoy hear weird echoed tnrt From ruined homea. Fear dumbs each small, child heart. No tears rain down Hko dew to enao their woo; Horror has dried the wolla from which thoy sprang, Like weo crusadora of tho long ago, Their phantom banners in tho breezes blow. If ono Bhould call out "Follow 1" they would run, Grimo af tho highway on their tiny feet, Heedless aliko of dust and blazing sun, Forgot, as dreaniB, tho horrors that were done. None calls; weary thoy rest within the shado, Tho ruined church, where onco they learned to pray, Long years beforo tho war had come, and laid Their homes In ruins, made their hearts afraid. Hoforo tho Holy Mother low thoy bow, Perhaps she hears and soon will bring them aid, It must be sho whoso voice Is calling now, For see the cross is shining on her brow l Tho light around hor head, n nimbus gleams, A lted Cross worker, not from Heaven, thoy know. Yet Mary heard and sent her hero it seems, To lead them home to shelter and to dreams. THE SPIRIT OP CHRISTMAS It is almost with us. It lacks the real activity in getting together the gifts.
