SAFETY
Written for EVENING JOURNAL
BY JAMES T. cR0ZIER.

No safety for you anywhere in this
land.
Unless you own Christ as your King.
But II led in life's path by His Dear
Loving Hand.
How precious the joy that will
bring.
Your life will be happy. your heart
full OF song.
And your soul will be filled with de-
light:
No troubles will worry you all the day
long.
And your sleep will be sweet
through the night.
There is naught in this world can
compare TO the wealth.
That the Child of God has in their
heart:
II is joy. peace and comfort In sick
ness or health.
And for wealth Of this world would
not part.
You will pass through The Valley
without fear.
For His Rod and His STAFF will be
there
~ NNNN"N ANA anu NNAlAANAA aNu AAN
viii be near;
That His own precious words do de-
clare.
There is no one can help you like
Jesus, my friend.
And His Blood can cleanse YOU from
sin;
He will be by your side every day, till
the end,
And you surely this life should
begin.
For life is uncertain, you know not
the day
When the ssommons may come "a
depart;
And Jesus has said He'll be with you
always.
II You let Him come into your heart
How precious TO know as each day
shall go by.
There's a mansion up there for Oul
home:
It was built without hands for botl
you and I.
: And for all who desire TO come.
So help us. Dear Lord. to always liv'
right,
To even hold fast TO Thy Hand:
Then Wen fall asleep some day ol
some night.
And wake up in Sweet Beulah Land

The news OF the sudden death OF

+ Thursday night. proved a shock to
members of the sophomore class OF
the Women's College when they heard
/ OF it Friday. This was due to the fact
that Miss Beatrice CrOssmOre, only
child Of the deceased physician, was
a member of the first class of the W0-
mems College last year and was very
popular with her classmates. Owing
to her mother being i'm poor health
Miss Crossmore did not return to col

tabernacle Chorus
IN REUNION CONCERT
Prominent City SOloistS TO
be Heard in Musical Pro-
gram on April 4
FIRST REHEARSAL
NEXT WEDNESDAY

Considerable interest has been
manifested in the announcement Of
concert by the Lyon tabernacle
chorus. Professor George e. King.
who organized the chorus and was
chairman OF the music committee Of
the evangelistic campaign, has called
for rehearsal and reunion of the
choir on next Wednesday evening in
the tabernacle.
IL has been called TO Mr.. Kings at
tention that Wednesday is generally
prayer meeting night in a large NUM-
Der of the local churches. and he re-
quests those members Of the chorus
to first attend their prayer services
and come directly after their dismis-
sal 10 the tabernacle. IL is not de-
sired to interfere with the mid-week
church services. IL was difficult. how
ever, TO find a night for rehearsal
that did not conflict TO some extent
with some other church exercise. Mr.
King thinks the suggestion that those
members of the chorus attending
their own services come directly to
the tabernacle from their churches
viii remedy the matter
The concert will take place on
Tuesday evening. April A. and the
probability is that one of the largest
crowds ever assembled in the taber-
nacle will be present The most
popular OF the choruses sung by the
choir during the seven weeks meet
ings will be heard again. From
Every Stormy Wind That Blows" by
Wilder. was probably the most pOpu-
lar chorus sung, and il was repeated
time and time again by special re-
quests from visiting delegations This
selection will be rendered on the
evening OF the coming concert. and
the soprano obligato will he sung 10y
Mrs. Julia Beauchamp-Sawyer. Will
mingtOn music-loving people are al
ready acquainted with the quality Of
Mrs. Sawyer's voice, and she has
been In demand for concert work.
Her appearance on the program will
add interest to the evenings enter
tainment
Professor King also announces that
he has secured Mrs. Eleanor Glitou
Kemery as contralto soloist for the
evening Mrs. Kemery was brought

Quartette choir of that church. Al
though she has been in this city only
short time. she has already won
a reputation as being one of the
hest soloists ever heard in Local
musical circles.
The chorus Of 1000 voices is tho
best ever heard in this city. Their
singing was a strong factor i'm thG
Lyon meetings. and people were un
stinted in their praise Of the won
dcrful singing.

Bertha Moore Visits Black
Hawk Watch Tower

Dear Juniors:
/ thought I would write a compost
ton about my trip to Black HAWK
Watch Tower. :
Last summer when lived In ROCK
Island the church where l attended
Sunday scholo had picnic at Black
Hawk Watch Tower. The little girl
who lived next door went with me to
the picnic. We started from our home
at o'clock in the morning to 90 to
the church where We all met to ooaru
the car. At last we started. In ABOUT
an hour we reached the picnic GROUNDS.
Black Hawk Watch Tower IL q noted
historical place situated on the banks
of Rock river in Rock Island county.
The Black Hawk Indians made their
home there years ago and their chief,
Black Hawk, would climb the highest
tree on the bluff to keep watch for the
pale face. Years ago It was wild, I'M
settled place, nothing but trees and
hazlebrush, but now this Is cleared
away and they have q beautiful sum
mer resort there and amusement park.
Every summer people come from miles
and miles around to have picn1cs ana
enjoy the amusements there.
We rode on rocking horses and merry
go rounds and swung In swings ana
hammocks, but the best part OF 1t all
was the bountiful dinner that was pro-
vided by our parents, and after we hao
had a pleasant afternoon again 1T was
about S o'clock and we had pleasant
ride home on the street car.
