Is held high aloft, and the many
pronged antlers branch backward over
the shoulders. The ears are cast for

Henry Longfellow was poet Do
YOU know what that means? A man
that writes poetry. When he was
twelve years old. while sitting behind
his fathers barn he looked over into
Mr. Finneys garden and saw a turnip
growing there: and so Ilongfellow
wrote these verses about that turnip.
This was his first poem:
Mr.. Ffnney had q turnip,
And 1t grew behind the barn,
1t grew there and 1t grew there.
And the turnip did no harm.
't1t grew and II grew.
Till it could get no taller,
Mr.. Finney pulled II up
And put It in his cellar.

Good Lord, be gracious to all men

lord, without Thee we would not go

wander into forbidden places and our
imaginations that we may look back
with penitence and gratitude and for

thank Thee for thy forestalljng and

to thy heart and has helped us in
thousand cares and fears and sorrows.
Let us not go grumhiing on our road,
