THE GREAT DAY
George Henry Dole.

From ancient times encircling night oerspread
The world, till faint ray Of light was shed
From hea,'n for those who brayely toed on earth
To give the higher nature heavily birth.
The thickning clouds the ever deep'nlng night,
Discouraged hope, oppressed. o'ertaNed mans might
The thought that God. in some far distant day,
ny Virgin birth would come and light the way.
Sustained faint hope and faith renewed the will,
And gave OF Joy Divine the only thrill.
But now that day has come Increasing light
Resplendent shines and gives the power OF sight
4 great cause hn,c for Joy and love
Than ever came to aneients from above.
The Saviour now is come. His presence here
His kingdom will increase from year TO year.
whoever now the name Of this one knows
His desert blossoms the fragrant rose
Sweet sOlace, comfort deep Il Is TO know
There reigns in all struggles, pain. and woe
The power Divine that safely guides through strife
To give the best in everlasting life.
The tempter's power longer now can fright;
OmnlpOtence Is present in the right
Rejoice! Ne'er grieye for loss whatc'er beiall.
TIE promised day is now. and bright for all.
To bring al grieis OF truth and good One regns,
And in His arms He brings eternal gains;
Then Laws them at thy feet, in love with thee
The Lord the Saviour Jesus Christ, is lie.

 OCCURS TONIGHT
Over 2600 Tickets Have Been Sold and Great Success Is Now
 Assured

Final preparations are being made by Birmingham fremen for the grandest annual ball that they have ever had in this city. These fetes are always successes in every way, but this one is one which will break the record. It takes place tonight.
 over 2600 tickets have been sold to the ball and the committee in charge of the sale of the tickets have remarked that they have met with absolutely no obstacles in the sale of them. They state that everywhere the glad hand is extended them and they are given the support for which they are seeking.
 The proceeds from the sale of the tick cts are to be applied to the Birmingham Firemens Relief association. an organi- zation for the benefit of those who are injured In line of duty, death and sick ness. So great has the demand for room become that the otherwise spacious arm ory has proved inadequate and the old council chamber has been pressed into use. The color scheme is followed out with the stars and stripes.
