BANNER THOUGHTS IN POETRY
IF HE SHOULD COME
By Edwin Markham
Poet Laureate of Oregon
F JESUS should tramp the streets
tonight.
Storm-beaten ad hungry for bread
Seeking a room and a candle light
And a clean though humble bed
Who would welcome the Workman in,
Though He came with panting
breath.
His hands all bruised and His gar
ments thin
This Workman from Nazareth
Would rich folk hurry to bind His
bruise
And shelter His stricken form?
Would they take God in with His
-. muddy shoes
Out of the pitiless storm?
Are they not too busy wreathing their
1 flowers
Or heaping their golden store
Too busy chasing the bubble hours
For the poor man's God at the door?
And if He should come where church
men bow,
Forgetting the greater sin,
Would He pause with a light on His
wounded brow,
Would He turn and enter in?
And what would He think of their
creeds so dim,
Of their weak uplifted hands,
Of their foolish prayers going up to
Him
Out of a thousand lands?
( Hearst's International.

Lived manhoods bitterest life for you
and tne.
From Bethlehem and angel song melo
dious O, Golgotha, how short the way to
thee,
From "Peace on earth" to wild mob
a clamor, odious,.
And to thy Place of Skulls dark
Calvary!
He was not lost; the tomb brought
resurrection;
The fearsome cross proved but an
interlude:
Hence through the years, when free
from sin's infection,
Each sorrow bears its own beatitude.
Thanks be to God! For, as we work
and listen -Where
whirlwinds of poetry never
cease; -
Like some bright sunbeam in a dreary
prison
Through the fierceturmoil breaks
- the song ofpeace .
Hope on, work on! E'en dungeon
walls will crumble;
At last each cell be filled with living
light;
Forever stilled tbe wild tornado's rum
ble; And heavenly music floods our
Christmas bright.
By Carl Landerholm.

The Banner-Courier has made ar
rangements with the Clackamas Coun
ty Bank of Sandy whereby the accom
panying Banner-Courier Thrift Coupon
will be accepted as 50c when presented
with another 50c in cash to start a sav
ings account. But this is not all.
When you open your account, you will
be presented with an unique savings
bank that is an exact replica of the
famous Liberty Bell that rang out its
message of independence on July 4,
1776. This home safe will assist you
in saving and stand as a symbol of in
dependence, the "very thing everyone
. should save for. -
There are three conditions attached
to this offer but they are simple and
easy: (1) fl.00 of the account must
remain on deposit for the period of
one year before it can be withdrawn.
(2) Only one account can be opened by
an individual, but everyone in the fam
ily an open an account. (3) If a sec
ond deposit is not made within six
months, the 50c coupon will Te de

which time the Liberty Bell must be
returned.
START A BANK ACCOUNT

amas County Bank andopen a Dollar sav

You will not only be credited with a
Dollar savings account, but you will be given
also a beautiful LibertyBell savings bank,
pictured here, , t
Sign your name and address here.
Now, when a generous offer like this is made, there ought not to be a single individual in Sandy
without a savings account. There's not one but would be materially benefited by being a saver. A. sav
ings account builds character; it promotes self-respect; it begets confidence, both of the saver himself
and of others. A savings account smoothes out the rough spots in life's journey and makes future hopes
and desires possible. x .
DO NOT DELAY. .......
President W. A. Proctor of the Clackamas County Bank of Sandy says: "We are glad to co-operate
with the Banner-Courier to make the opening of a savings account so easy that no one who is desirous
of having an account, need be denied." This paper ventures to remark that with such an opportunity
offered them, every man woman and chijd- in Sandy will soon be a saver and if so, this is going to be a
mighty good community to live in, for Thrift goes hand in hand with Happiness and prosperity, to the
mutual advantage of both saver and city.
Fill- out the accompnying coupon and take it to the bank the first thing TOMORROW. . It means
50c and obtains a Liberty Bell Savings Bank.
No Christmas Gift to the boys and girls is more appreciated than the Liberty Bell Bank or a Savings
Account. By clipping this coupon and presenting it with fifty cents you obtain both. DO IT TODAY
and be ready for Christmas morning. ,
