there might not be some good Elk to

He has written play which l have

Mr.. Hart in reply said there was
always a serious side to every mans

That carries a blessing benign;

And glows with a splendcr divine

The spirit OF mutual strife;

With an Elkin fidelity true,
| Keeping faith and regard for each other
In the labor that each has to do.
There is something divine in the marriage
OF rivers that flow to the sea,
There is something benign in the carriage
OF a leaf from the glad olive tree:
And mutual endeavor advances
The glory Of all that's to be,
As the brooket the river enhances,
And the river enhances the sea.
As the tide OF our own Lackawanna
Flows on with its murmurous song,
To gladden. the bright susquehanna
That winds in its beauty along;
lesson the union impresses
| As onward the welded streams move
'Tis, that fortune and fate ever blesses
The mystic endeavors Of love.
Then hail to the fair cities springing
BY streams that in unison move;
Let us hope that the future is bringing
To each a message OF love-
And led by spirit frsternsl,
That carries a blessing divine,
May the progress OF each be eternal,
And earnest endeavor entwne.
