  • 28 Dec 1918: PEACE. Albert J. G. Black, who lives at Beaconsfield Upper, writes:-Dear Uncle Ben, I am sending you a copy of a poem that I have composed entitled "Peace," which I wish to be published in your page in "The "Weekly Times." I am 13 years and 4 months old.
    When the light of a new-born world
    Shines through the sky like a dazzling light:
    When the calm of peace is hurled
    Through a dark and strife-filled night;
    When the people of God are filled
    With a new desire for life,
    And the nations' soil is newly tilled
    To cover the signs of strife.
    When the world is changed from a place of strife;
    When the boom of the gun is gone;
    When one King only rules over life
    Only then shall peace be our song.
    When sleep is unbroken by clatter of hoof,
    By soldiers who march to war;
    When safely the people can stay under their roof.
    Then shall there be strife no more.7
