Quaker Meditations
The trouble with a mutual
admiration society is that it is
seldom mute.
Patriotic ambition is the yeast
that causes a private to rise from
the ranks.
Poverty is no crime. In fact,
some people seem to think it is a
patriotic duty.
I
Some marry for love,
some for money and others for
khaki and brass buttons.
Mucins - "What do you think
of the proposed war tax on lux-
uries?"
BuRKins-"Luxuries? What in
the deuce are luxuries?"
The gossip may repeat every-
thing she hears except the mean
things she knows of herself.
Don't Break the Faith
Don't break the faith
They died to see us keep —
These lads of ours
That in old Flanders sleep!
They gave so glad. so freely,
In that strife—
And they, too, loved
The ease and swing of life!
They did not lag.
They heard with joy the call.
Though well they knew
That they might also fall.
Don't let them rise
Accusing us at last
That we forgot, forsook
The cause for which they cast
Their young hearts glowing
On those altars seered
With hate and lust,
And faltered not, nor feared!
