THE SONG OF THE ANVIL
BIZ RAYMOND

BY Raymond Browning
"Cling-clang. cling-clang, c-ling-clang-
clang,"
Merrily the young smiths anvil rang.
He smiled in the forge as he stirred
the fire
And mused and dreamed as the flames
leaped higher.
The hearts new thrill made the toll
seem play
His giri-wife bore him a son that day
He gripped the tongs and the hammer
sWang
To the anvil's "Cling-clang, cling
clang clang."
"Cling-clang, cling-clang, cling-clang-
cling"
Years tripped by to the hammers
swing.
The b~lacksmith's hands grew hard as
horn,
The wife of his youth was gray and
worn;
Their fondest hopes were wrecked
one day
The willful irst-born ran away
Yet sweet and low would the mother
sing
A hymn to the anvil's @Cling-clang.
cling"
"Cling-clang, clang-clang, clang-
clang-clang,"
Joy to the world" the church-bel
rang.
But the minister scarcely checked his
AS he thought of his wanton hoyhood
years;
The village home and the shop long
still,
The grave on a lonely shaded hill,
While a sweeter song than the choil
sang,
Was the distant anviTs "Cling-clang
clang."

The editor kindly allows me ana,

The editor kindly allows me space
to address you through this medium
this week. I desire to cali your at
tention to the fact that we have just
three Sundays before the converting
of our annual conference at Mon
roe. 1t is desired to receive in
to the membership of our church
those who have recently pro-
fessed faith in Christ and who desire
Ito unite with the church. 1t is i'm
portant, too, that we should give es-
pecial attention to the assessments
upon the charge for missions, edu-
cation and all the benevolences of the
church. 1t may be encouraging to
know hat we lack only $4,000 in
meeting the support Of our mission
airy to Korea, Rev. M. B. Stokes, for
this year. Let those who have not
contributed to this fund see Mr.. H. F.
Stewart at the earliest convenience.
Under the conditions that exist It
lis important that we should come to-
gether in our church services at the
first opportunity. And now, since the
order of the board of health closed our
Ichurches only through October the
18th, which is next Saturday, let us
meet in Sunday school and for church
services Sunday, unless there should
be another order of the board extend
ing the time of quarantine.
Should there be another order, Leg
US meet for an open air service Sun
day at eleven o'clock on the church
llawn, provided the weather condi-
itions will permit. In the meantime, in
these days of anxiety, suspense and
suffering, let us be much in prayer
1 would earnestly beg all heads OF
families to pray at their family affairs
both morning and evening.
Yours in Him,

Dan Morgan Smith, of Chicago, for

National Anti-SalOon League for

about conditions in France, says:
'The country has been destroyed

tortured and women ravished and yet
the French smile.
God! What a PBEgple.
"We thought them frivilous, but no,
they are a simple sweet people who

n ON THE Run.

PARIS, Oct. 1sThe entire Ger
man front. ST. Gobain to the Argonne
has cracked OF q sixty-mile front and
it now appears that the enemy will be
forced to retreat to a depth Of some
thirty miles before finding a suitable
line of defense. At the best, his po-
sition will be menaced as its TANKS on
the Disc to the Sambre canal from
Ribemont to Landreoies, which lines
are very near the Belgian frontier.
There will be nothing here like the Him
denburg line. The Germans are ex-
pected to cover their retreat, as us
ual, with the best natural defenses
the country affords, the principal as
set in the present instance being the
forests in the area of the backward
movements.

DANGER OF TUBERCULOSIS
FOLLOWING INFLUENZA
(By North Carolina State Board II
Healthy

Try North Carolina State Board af
Healthy
The epfdemic of inluap.a now pre-.
valent throughout North Carolina and
the country at large, is serious in its
.'fec;s, but in itself influenza is not
deadly. It is the pneumonia and tu-
bereulosis following an attack of in
haenza that becomes really dangerous
to life.
Unless care be taken the presen:
influenza epidemic may be expected
to be followed by y greatly increased
death rate from tuberculosis. Point
ing out this danger Dr.. L. B. McBray-
er, chief OF the Bureau of tubercu-
losis Of the State Board of Health, to-
day made the following statement:
ANY disease affecting the respiraS
tory tract, such as Spanish influenza,
has a tendency to light up any tu-
~berculosis infection that might have
been lying dormant. Any person who
fails to recover promptly from an at
tack of Spanish influenza shOlld be
very careful. If such person shoulc
find a little rise in temperature, 80 or
above, in the afternoon, with a sub
normal temperature, 90 or below, in
the morning, such person should sus-
pect tuberculosis, and should at once
have a thorough examination of the
lungs by the family physician, or a
specialist"

INFLUENZA, ITS SYMPTOMS,
TREATMENT, RESULTS, ETC,

observation-disclosures is an acute
contagious disease. It's chief symp-
toms are due to catarrh of the re-
spiratory tract, together with pro-
found muscular and pros
t~ration, and grave complications es-
pecially pneumonia. The disease may
be epidemic or pandemie.
H1St0ry-It spreads more rapidly
than any other disease. 1t usually be-
gins in the east and spreads in a
westerly direction.
In America the case began to. appear
about the middle of Dec. 1889, in Jan.
1890 it wRB an explosive epidemic.
Then in 1912, then again in 1923.
Observation-Disclosures case
the catarrhal change after death.
In complicated cases especially pneu-
monia the LESSONS appear after death.
Modes 81 OOnVeyanee.-A specific
germ that is propagated with unusual
EE2R1diy THAT marks the bacillus OF
Pheiffer must be air-born. All are
subject to 1t. There is no doubt that
influenza ms communicable by cOnta-
.gion, and evidence is becoming album
'dant to show that it may be trans
.mitted by fnrmitis.
Manner of InYaSiOn-The cOntagiOm
.prOhahly enters with the inspired air.
P~redispGGing CauSeG.-There are few
since all are subject to the cOntagiO1-
Age has slight influence
1mmun1tE-A primary attack Of in
fnenza does not hestow immunity,
since relaRses r frequent.
General &8mptOmSs-The incubation
period is qnite brief, two or three days
The onset is usually sudden with
a severe rigOr or repeated chills
or shiverfng with a rapid elevation of
temperature, 104 or 105 degrees F., in
tense headache, distressing pain, and
great prostration, restlessness, insom-
mia and degiEinm.
The infection may set in (a) by YER
tigo, (b) by apOpletic features (c) by
bilious vomiting, (d) by and about and
profound p~rOStration. Nose bleeds
sometimes. The most striking symp-
tom is pain The diagnosis is usually
not difficult. PrOgnosis is on the
whole good.
All fatalities are due to complica-

Treatment-First prophylaxis. Sec

CREDIT OF EVERY COURSE In

MEAD TO EXTINCTION IN THE
SCHOOLS OF AMERICA.

NEW YORK May 3.-Teaching of
the Germans language and literature
at the College of the City of New York
probably will be hard hit by new
policy announced to students who at
tended yesterday the semi-annual cleo
tive meeting in the Great Hall. The
trustees of the institution have decreed
that the academic creait of every
course in German, whether it be pre-
scribed or elective, will be reduced
by one point after July /, the open
ing date for the summer session.
For practical purposes. the decree
means to City College students lesser
value for such instruction, and, who
would ordinarily have ordinarily rave
prescribed German in their course now
have an option, with full credit, Of
French, and Greek and French or
Spanish.
Faculty members were reticent
when questioned concerning the out
come of such policy, which is moth
ing short, according to present stu
dent standards of choice of subjects
yielding the greatest amount of cred
its, of extinction of German Within
week, they said, the actual outcome
will be made known. By then ali the
elective cards will be returned to the
deans office. These will indicate the
language preference of the pupils One
instruction asserted the measure is not
as drastic as ones adopted by West
ern State universities.
