He well knew of the preparation that
was being made for the supper, but
little did he think that he was to
the guest of honor until he went to
the hall to participate with his friends
the splendid repast that had been pre-
pared. Four tables were very tastily
arranged and laden with edibles that
would fill the heart of the most exact
culinary artist with pride. Near the
entrance was placed a center table
which contained the birthday cake, a
beautiful angel food in layers and de-
corated with candles, furnished by
Mrs. L. L. Dahl. The proceeds of the
supper amounted to 20, which together
with other donations from here and
Bentley, makes a very neat birthday
gift and n which the reverend
gentleman assures us he appreciates
greatly. The Elgin band did their
part in making the event one to be re-

FRIENDS OF MY BOYHOOD DAYS
Written for TIE EVENING JOUR-
NAL By James 4 Cro7ier.

Of the numerous friends of my boy
hood days.
There are just three left today,
And the scores of those when l was
boy,
Save these have all passed away.
Now we four old boys are all that ara
left,
And the pleasure to me how sweet
For the pleasant word and the hearty
shake,
When l meet them upon the street
There is one of those boys I've moi
met for a while,
But today got a letter from him
Which said he read poems in THl
JOURNAL quite oft,
Did they come from his old friend
jim?
He said when he read Information
for friends"
And then saw address and tbs
name.
Well guess when he reads the an
swer I sent
He'll be certainly sure It's the same
And now comes the thought that eacl
Of us four
Are nearing our journeys end,
May our hopes be secure and our live
be so pure,
That each will eternity spend
With Him from whom blessings W.
each have enjoyed.
And for each suffered terrible pain
We know if we love Him and trus
in his word.
We shall meet one another again
In that home of the blest where n
night shall come,
And where flowers are always i
bloom.
And wen never more part from thos
that we loved.
Who were long ago laid in th
tomb.
Then help us Dear Lord to have fait
love and trust.
And to serve Thee be honest an
brave,
And to know that our lives are sal
hidden in Thee.
When our bodies are hid in th
grave.
