Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep"
So many parents object to the line
IF / should die before I wake in the
famous prayer, Now / lay me down
to sleep" that the later version is
now more generally used:
Now | lay me down to sleep;
! pray. Thee, Lord, my soul to keep;
When fn the morning light wake,
Lead Thou my feet, that / may take
The path of love for Thy dear sake.

Flag Day Celebration
Friday was a day of nationwide
celebration, and the motion picture
world celebrated in most fitting way
the birthday Of the American flag.
The National Security League re-
qussted all audiences on that day to
sing the Star Spangled Banner, and
at east one of the songs the boys are
singing in the trenches, The patrons
of the Temple were greatly pleased
with the beautiful and interesting
little program which was put on as
an extra. and the liberality and pat
riotisln of its managers deserve much
credit.
Miss Music Bullock'g appearance on
the staaye was hailed with delight.
She sang most feelings and in fine
voice, "l'he Star Spangled Banner, !"
and as SIZE sang half the Boy Scouts
marched down the aisle bearing the
flags of Tie Allies, with the American
flag IN the center. As the audience
joined in the chorus of this soul
stirring all thenl patriotism was at it's
height. Miss Bullock responded most
graciouslv by giving the French ma
tional anth em, the Marseillase, as the
remaining scouts marched in.
Mr.. Wilfred Harold, one of the
scout bugle Is, came on the stage and
gave "Ame rica's Creed" His rendi-
ton of this was exceptionally fine.
Mr.. DIVA had requested Rev. G. A.
Ottmann, d four minute man, to make
short tall on war savings stamps,
which he did in most appropriate
manner. What was lacking in guam
tity was made up in quality, for his
talk, though short was very instruc-
tive and both appreciated and enjoy
ed.

OF America, the audience standing.
