cost to the individual will be according
to the number in the class. The expenses
for each evening will be car fare, Soc;

sum by fifty and it amounts to little for
each.
1t has been said that certain things
cannot be done in Thurmont because the
people will not work together. In this
venture let us meet on common grounds;
this is not UNCONVENTIONAL, it does not be-

I'm the beauty of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfig-

AS he lived to make men holy, let US live
to keep men free,
While God is marching on"
