HIGH CHURCH OR Low
ANNIE TRUMBuLL sLossoN

You ask me whether I'm High Church,
You ask me whether Pm Low;
/ wish you'd tell me the difference,
For I'm sure that don't know.
I'm just plain old body,
And my brain works pretty slow;
So | don't know whether Pm High Church
And I don't know whether I'm Low
Pm trying to be Christian
In the plain, old-fashioned way
Laid down in my Mothers Bible,
And I read it every day;
Our blessed Lords life in the Gospels,
Or comforting Psalm of old,
Or bit from the Revelation,
OF the city whose streets are gold.
Then I pray why, Pm generally praying
Tho don't always kneel or speak out,
But ask the dear Lord, and keep asking
Till I fear He is all tired out;
a piece OF the Litany sometimes,
The Collect, perhaps, for the day,
Or scrap of prayer that my mother
So long ago learned me to say.
But now my poor memory's failing,
And often and often / find
That never prayer from prayerbook
Will seem to come into my mind,
But know what want and I ask it,
And / make up the words as go;
Do you think now that shows ain't High
Church?
Do you think that it means am Low +?
AF,,- y,ia.sa5 rld b,,sbnnd hos lafk mo.
'Tis years since God took him away;
know he is safe, well and happy,
And yet when kneel down to pray,
Perhaps it is wrong, but | never
Leave the old mans name out OF my
prayer,
But ask the dear Lord to do for him
What I would do il was there.
| OF course He can do it much better;
But be knows, and he surely won't mind,
The worry about her old husband
OF the old woman left here behind.
So pray, and pray, for the old man,
And I'm sure / shall till / die
So may be THAT proves amt Low Church,
And maybe II shows I am High.
VI Olu iatueI MAS never ObufSlsHlaut
But Scotch Presb byterian saint;
Still, his white bead is sbiiling in Heaven.
Idon' care who says it ain't.
To one OF our blessed Lords mansions
That man was certain to go,
And now do you think lam High Church?
Are you sure that I amt pretty Low?
tell You ii 5 all just muddle,
Too much for body like me
will wait till join my old husband,
And then We shall see what we'll see.
Don't ask me again, il you please, sir,
For really it worries me so,
And | don't know whether I'm High
Church.
And Idon't know whether Pm Low.

Mr.. Clark states that he believed
the only fair way to act to all of
those. charged with drawing illegal
fees, Is TO bring suit to recover the
money at once. There are a great
many different opinions concerning
the meaning of many statutes govern
ing the fee system and the various
suits eh0nld settle those questions
for all time. Mr.. Clark states that
without any doubt the examiners
have construed the law incorrectly in
many cases and money that II Is
claimed is due the county, was leg
ally taken by the officers.
lf It is proved in the courts that
the fees were lawfully collected
then the actions at law will vindicate
