bnAYER OF THE lingo,

i \
As recited by Chamberlain Rhodes
Oh, God Of Gold, be with us yet,
Lest some small island we forget,
And in Thy cause our feet should lag,
Ere hosting there the British flag.
oh let Thy will be Britain's care,
Till British flags fly everywhere.
We are a chosen people, Thine;
Oh. grant Thy children one more sign,
And fill us, Cod, with holy rage
lis Thine, the battle that we wage.
Oh, God of Gold, lest we forget,
Let lingo valor fume and fret.
Against Thy kingdom and Thy rule,
Uprose the Boer, arustic fool;
In vain his cry for mercy rings,
AS Ger the veldt the dum>dum sings.
God steel our hearts little yet,
Till all are slain, lest we forget.*
Oh, God, our humble prayer hear,
And stay our hearts and bid us cheer;
And if Thou deign to grant sign,
We pray it be diamond mine.
Oh, God of Gold, be with us vet,
We need Thee much, and don't forget

Margaret Hallett, with Mrs. Nellie M.
Richardson as president Of the board.
In calling attention to the fact that the
board was composed entirely Of women,
Mrs. Richardson said this had become a
necessity in the onward march OF events,
as it had been plainly demonstrated in
kentucky that men we're too emotional
to engage in public affairs. After the
call to order. roll call, minutes, petitions
and reports followed each other in rapid
succession. The obstructionist, Mrs.
Field, objected, interrupted and contra.
dicted in the most approved manner
per Lincoln school board. Mrs. A. A.
Scott, as superintendent of city schools,
and Mrs. II. P. Eames, as high school
principal. brought in highly interesting
reports, while Mrs. Mcdonald and Mrs.
StulI appeared as petitioners before the
board. The fine hits made the affair
most laughable and the situation seemed
to be much appreciated by the audience.
The nominations made for officers OF the
womsn's club for the coming year are
as follows:
