Charter Board
Candidates Plan
Mass Meeting

A mass meeting is planned for
some day this week when all the
charter board candidates-both
Home Rulers and opposition-are
to make public declarations of
their policies, according to plans
now being laid.
With seventeen anti-candidates
opposing fifteen Home Rulers, it
looks as though the ants are not
running on solid ticket.
That members of each ticket
viii be elected to the board, is the
prediction in political circles.
Not much interest so far has
been aroused by the charter board
question. The mass meeting may
develop something, but according
to present indications, a vote of
one thousand will hardly be
polled. The date of the meeting
will be announced shortly.

cherished hopes shall be realized in
the future, no one can foreteH. But,
my young friends, as you go forth
into the unknown future, whatever Of
sunshine or cloud, JOY or sorrow, you
may experience, of this you may be
confident. The same gracious hand,
which scatters the sunshine for our
gladness, paints the petals of the rose
for our pleasure and cares for the
songster, trilling an anthem amid the
branches for our delight, viii not
withhold any good thing from those
who walk uprightly. His goodness in
the past and loving kindness today
are but prophecies Of future blessings
to those who love and serve Him. His
immutahle word warrants an unfal-
tering faith and hope as bright as
His cheering promises and unhesitat-
ing faith. 1.-THE word of the Lord
endureth forever; His truth is our
shield and buckler," amid the temp
tations and trials of life and though
it may be that
Truth is ever on the scaffold,
Wrong forever on the throne,
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And behind the dim unknown

Keeping watch above His own"

Every variation of the yoke skirt 10
fashionable for spring and for summer.
This one is quite novel, for the front
and back portions are extended to form
the yoke and the full sides are joined to
its lower edge. These side portions may
be either plated or gathered and which
is preferable will of course depend upon
the material. For serge, gabardine and
fabrics of such sort the plaits are de-
sirable but the thinner and lighter ma
terials are pretty with the gathered sides.
In one of the views. gabardine is shown,
in another soft taffeta. The trimming OF
buttons at the sides of the yoke makes a
pretty feature. Later this model will be
good for washable materials.
