When you awake at break of day '-'
And leap with vigor from the hay
And feel the world is. in a way.
Prolific in its beauties: ''' -'
When you are bending DER your work
And in your bosom there will Turk
A notion that you ought to shirk'
Such most unpleasant duties;
When signboards are repainted and
The moving van throughout the land
Is ruling with despotic hand
And charging out of reason:
When you discard your overcoat
And in the sunshine stand and gloat-
If you're loyal fan you'll note
The coming of the season.
When practice games are played each
day
And exhibitions. too. hold sway
And all the managers will say
They've got the aggregation:
When Easter fashions are displayed
And girls in peekaboos arrayed
Upon the sidewalks promenade
In idle conversations;
When pitching wings are working fine
And all the boys have got in line
And there are no holdouts to sign
Or show a trace of treason,
You greet your pals and gayly say:
This surely is the life that's gay!
Our boys will have walkaway
And win the rag this season.

wrong on the links you will catch
shadow or two between smiles.

was stretched out in comfortable

Babtists, What Think You of This?

Rev e. j. Forester, LID, has charge of

He is Man; also a genuine Christian-one
whose life has been unselfshly devoted to
good works.
Listen!
DR.. Forester and | have long been fast
personal friends. He was our PASTOR at
Thomson, for some years. In my home, he
has often been the welcome, honored guest.
But differing from me in the matter of
Foreign Missions, he wrote me a strong let
ter, putting 'the other side" with the utmost
power In answer to this letter. / wrote to
my FRIEND defending my position.
It occurred to me that here was fine
chance to get The Christian Indep to give
both sides fair hearing. Accordingly, Dr.
Forester was requested to forward his letter
and my reply to Messrs Bell and Graham
for publication. The Doctor readily agreed
to do so, and did forward the correspondence
The Christian Iode@ refused to publish!
What sort of men do you take Messrs. Bell
evidently
They refused Miss Leonora Sheppard the
privilege Of explaining that my position had
been misrepresented. They fatty refused to
publish anything from me. and, noac, they
treat, ecith the same supercizious arrogance, a
similar request made by so eminent and pop
uzar a minister as Rec. DR.. E. J. Forester.
BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE
BAPTIST CHURCH, WHAT DO you
THINK or THE CONDUCT OF
MESSRS. BELL AND GRAHAM?
Isn't their persistent refusal to let their
readers hnoac the truth about mission meth
DDS the uery best evidence that those methods
are indefensibze?

Boys, won't you fair fight? Make
