(To be continued next month.) JM Va Earth names make earthly music on the ear. There is a still name, high and lifted up — Too full for sound. Mortality can hear No word recite it, but the hollow cup Of silence holds it on far mountain-tops; Great trees have felt it when wild tem pests cease; Between huge billows, when their tumult stops, The ocean knows it for the hand of peace. It is the name Jesus Christ — a name Like banners lifted, wings against the . sky, Above all others, like a white star-flame. A name for living, and a name to die Having, and holding with the last spent breath: The only name that ever conquered death. — Helen Frazee-Bower
