MRS. ANNIE ALFIB
mt ROSE BEYOND THE’WALL
Near a shady wall a rose once grew.
Budded and blossomed in God’s free
light.
' Watered and fed -by morning dew.
Shedding its sweetness day and
night.
As it grew and blossomed fair and
tall, ■
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall,
Through which there shone a beam
of light. 1
Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or
pride,
It followed the light through the
crevices length
And unfolded itself on the other
side.w
The light, the derw, the broadening
view
Were found the same as they were
before.
And it lost itself in beauties new
Breathing its fragrance more and
more.

hail that day! And just as he returned to his gold-

* Weather prevailing in this section
for Christmas week was not con-
sidered the most beautiful, but to the
farmers and ranchers the several
inches of fine slow rainfall apparently
was just what they would have or-
dered. It was not especially needed
badly, but the rain which had pre-
viously fallen during the past few
weeks was not considered enough to
wet the ground sufficiently to be a
'’ground season,” and with what has
fallen this week there should be no
doubts of the requirements being fully
filled.
