Since our last term OF school one OF
our best and beloved friends has passed
away; that friend was Alton G. Lindsey
He was an elocutionist and impersona-
tor but aside from reciting he wrote
many poems and was a poet Of rare abil-
ity. Although he has left us his works
will remind US Of him. The following
selection, entitled Lincoln, is one OF his
writings:-
He whose vast current OF abiding fame
Is sweeping higher as the years Increase
Aspiring 70 the nood-tide OF his WORTH
How small beside the rugged cottager
| A wholesome, homely face with kindly eye,
Whose glance won children and abashed the
A simple, earnest man of wholesome stun.
Majestic In his love OF honesty;
a strong, sagaclous, level headed man
With steady balance OF the heart and brain,
| Weighing the issues OF q jarrIng state
With Justice mixed with love In equal scale.
Along the thorny pathway of his life
| No breath OF faisehood ever stained the rose;
Deepin the calm OF his God centered soul
Was born his swerveless love of naked truth.
| Mid chaos OF confusion he was firm,
Mid frantic hellish terror he was calm,
His sweet compassion burst out like IA star,
| Through backest clouds OF duty's sternest
And like sweet bells within his nature rang.
| mth hiuihtb MS 'iuhlui m'ih hiu htuiu hih
And yet the lifted curtain might have shown
| A tear wet pillow and n haggard man,
| With tortured heart upon u midnight rack,
| What cared he for the final martyr stroke,
| Who suffered countless times the martyrs
| pang!
His friends have collected his poems
and had them published in a Memorial
Volume. This book may be obtained
from Prof. Lenkerd. Price 30 cents.
