THE RED CROSS MAN By AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR. Of the Vigilantes. Broken with pain and weariness And sapped with vile disease, Back to the land of ruined towns, Of murdered men and trees, Through Switzerland from Germany The trains of wreckage ran, And on the French frontier they found A Red Cross Man And when to what had once been home Those haggard exiles came, Young wheat was green above the scars Of steel and blood and flame Round new built houses where once more The work of life began. And stili they found to welcome them A Red Cros3 Man. There the husband clasped again The wife he mourned as dead The child was on its mother's breast, The old were comforted. What wonder if they hope to find The Angel of God's Plan Who meets them at the heavenly gate A Red Cross Man! Obituary Died, in Ashland, July S, Lyman K. Payne, in the 91st year of hla age.
