POEM SINGS OF THE
CULINARY SKILL OF
PRESBYTERIAN LADIES

AT the banquet rendered the mem
bers Of the session, the trustees and
heads of the various departments OF
the Presbyterian church and their
wives. by the pastor Rev. DIR. j. A.
Burnett and Mrs Burnett Wednes-
day night, the following original
lines were read by Mrs. W. z. Bor-
ley. president Of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety:
We women love our work in church.
The Presbyterian one;
You men folks are so good TO as
You make IL seem like fun.
OF course you know that we can
cook,
You've always told us 50,
And when your tummy's out of tune
You let us mix the dough.
We fix you up a fine church meal
That's cheap at any price,
You eat and seem 10 relish it.
And tell us it's so nice.
Now that is why we love our work.
And never find it pail,
So when we need you come again,
You're welcome one and all
If Mr.. Shobe had only known
Our boasted cookery skill.
There's chances he'd survived the
day.
And be among US still.
Of course, when Schuyler's on the
job.
There's scarcely any chance
For one TO get near well again
The Strubbe milk-'tis all thick
cream,
The best the COWS can give;
He'll tell you ii prolongs the life
That he who drinks will live.
There's Ralph the rover, Edgewater
way.
He walks the asphalt every day.
He's worn il out in many spots.
Until it's filled with myriad dots.
There's Stekettee on "scOoping"
bent,
With pencil ready. aye.
He's laying for some story,
Like some voracious guy.
Grandpa Borley. down Race st. way.
Stays up on Saturday nights,
Lest by some chance he might miss
The preachers rectorial flights.
VIM. Babcock, the p. o. bureau,
He sticketh close as stamps;
He's Presbyterian all the way.
And dots on summer camps.
II. f. Suders, our treasurer man,
Who drives a flivver brute;
When eggs are high he cranks her
up
For Plymouth and hen fruit.
T. J. w. an honOred trustee,
And judge of all that's good,
Is still in the realms of singleness
But seemingly likes our food.
Charles F. Clark. a robust man.
OF strength and courtly mien-
You see what Presbyterian cooks
Have done from keeping him lean.
There's Lerner. Morse and Deffen-
baugh.
And Webster. Gardner Neil,
And AIorehouse and Replogle.
All men OF sterling zeal
And last. not least, our pastor,
The Reverend Burnett;
He's all that We would claim for
him,
And more YOU all can bet.
Now here's 20 our beloved church,
May its shadows never fade,
And may II keep on prospecting
And never get down grade.
