COMMUNISM GAINS
GROUND HOLLAND

NEW YORK. Jan. 16--CommunIsm is
gaining ground in Holland at the ex-
pense Of the socialists, declared DR..
Adrian Jacob Barnouw, Queen wilhel-
nina lecturer at Columbia university,
In an address last night on Political
Parties In Holland"
Revolution instead of evolution, is
openly advanced by Troelstra, the So
cialist leader, the speaker said, but in
thls he is not supported by the bulk Of
the party.
Recruits are flocklng to the red stand
ard from all classes Of society, including
the professions, Or. Barnouw asserted.
Two university professors and Holland
most gifted poet, Mrs. Roland Hoist
van der Schalk, being members of the
communist party's executive board.
Winkoop, communist chief, who sits
IN the second chamber, was described
py DR.. Barnouw rs an eloquent leader.
Promise OF n BolshevIkt Utopia Is not
taken seriously by the hard headed
Holianders, the speaker said, and al
though the steady Increase In the So
cialist vote at the cost of the liberal
parties shows a tendency TO radical
thought that does not mean advocacy
OF violence and revolt.
Troelstra and his followers have been
influenced by events In Germany, he
added, and the socialist leaders shift to
radicalism was prompted by fear lest
the communist party should take the
wind out of his sails"

 St. Paul spoke of ''perils by land, and perils by sea-" Are there any dangers aside from those that St. Paul referred to in those words? A wood chopper once said 'I have worked this month and saved up sixty dollars and l am going to town to have a big drunk.'' A friend said to him ''Why do you do that? When it's over you will feel as though some one had knocked you out. :" "Well," he replied, While it lasts 1 will feel as rich as old Vanderbilt" Had not that man been attacked while alone and there met his Waterloo? Do not the great tragedies of life come when men are alone? How to meet these dangers will be the theme at St. Philips Church Sunday evening, Feb. 29. Good music promised. You are invited.

A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM

If all who date would love rs,
And all our loves were true,
The stars that swing above us
Would brighten in the blue.
If cruel words were kisses,
And every scowl a smile,
A better world than this is,
Would hardly be worth while.
If nurses would untighten
To meet a brothers need,
The load we bear would Tighten
Above the grave Of greed.
If those who whine would whistle
And those languiSh, laugh,
The rose would rout the thistle,
The grains outrun the chaff.
II hearts were only jolly,
II grieving were forgot
And tears and melancholy
Were things that now are not.
Then love would kueel TO duty
And all the world would seem
4 bridal bower of beauty,
dream within a dream.

On the banks of the River Smile,
Where the Cheer-up and Be-happy
Blossom sweetly all the while;
Where the Never-grumble flower
Blooms beside the fragrant Try,
And the Ne'r-give-up and Patience
Point their faces toward the sky.
In the valley of Contentment,
In the province Of Twill,
You will find the lovely city
At the foot of No-fret hill;
There are thoroughfares delightful
In this very charming town,
And on every hand are shade trees,
Named the Very-sedom Frown.
Rustic benches, quite enticing.
You'll find scattered here and there
And to each vine Is clinglng,
Called the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
Everybody there is happy,
And is singing all the while,
In the town of Worry,
On the banks of River Smile.
