From sluggish case and cynic thoughts of doubt
To deeds of kindly Opportunity

To spread the Gospel of Good Will to all.
To sing the songs of I'eace upon the mart,
And fill with spirit of high festival
To overflowing every human heart.
To carry hope to hopeless ones, and ease
The sufferings of grievous helplessness;
To carry joy to those whose miseries
Have plunged them in a maelstrom of distress;
To lavish I.ight on Darkness, drying tears.
To enter into homes of them that grieve.
And with the touch of sympathy the fears
Of brothers in affliction dread relieve.
That is the song those Christmas chimes ring forth!
That is the summons sent to those who hear.

Not stores of gold, but I<ove in fullest play—
He wins the greatest treasure in the end

knew what a morning was to bring

likely to break loose and to cover wtttt
their deposits the tracks and even the

He signed the letter "Leonard" and
an appo ntment was arranged where-
by Geri was to view the picture at
Milan. The date was set Nov. 17, but
unforseen circumstances prevented
the meeting. A young man, fairly
well dressed visited Geri yesterday.
He said he was ' Leonard" and was
staying at the Hotel Tripoli. He
asked Geri to go with him to see
the picture. Bignor Geri notified Dr.
Poggi, director of the Florentine Mu-
seum, who hastened to the hotel and

to take the picture with him so that
he might compare it with other
works. He made an appointment to
