PINING FOR REST AND GUIDANCE
So tired and weary Oh, give me a
place
To lay my head and hide my face
From the cruel world, just for while,
Then will look up again aud smile,
Take up my load and plod along.
Singing an humble little song.
May seem to you worthless part
The bubbling OF a broken heart.
But so comes truth in its purity
Out of the gloom and obscurity.
The river is treacherous that we must
ford
Oh. give me thy guiding hand, dear
Lord.
The question: Resolved, That sale o.

ed was ably discussed at literary Fri
day night. The debate was amusing
stimulating, entertaining, instructive
Arguments of affirmative were system
attic and telling, and for time com
pletely repulsed attacks of negative
out finally a negative speaker discov
cred the vulnerable spot in prohibition
and made breach around which b,
and his colleagues stormed until vic
tory crowned their efforts. Evidentl.
some speakers had planned for loft!
lights in oratory but lateness of houl
made it doubtful about getting dowI
for breakfast, so they cut it out Tn
sensation of the evening was the fill
clustering of leader on negative side
He held the floor until the aftrmativ
leader was cramped for time in clos
ing argument; however, the closin
speech contained more real beaut
Than all others combined. including
tribute to prohibition that doubles
divided the judges, giving affirmativ
one vote.
