just one thing and to do it well.

We find a great many people Of
the present day who are rather re-
luctant about tackling a job. This
may be due to laziness or the fear
that the job is much greater than it
really is.The former will fit a great
many cases but the latter will I'M
doubtedly fit the majority of unac-
complished tasks. The chapel speaker
Monday morning gave us some ex-
amples of the fear of the job being
greater than it really is. He told of
a little brown bear being chased out
OF his home land by a much bigger
black bear. Several years later when
the brown bear had grown very big
he decided to go back and see if he
could whip this big black bear. He
went back and to his surprise found
he was much larger than the black
bear, and this time he ran the black
bear out Of the country.
At first sight of a job. it looks
big and if we flee from it and never
return it win always be a monster;
but if we jump right in, tackle the
thing, with the idea of getting it
done, our tasks will become light. ,
We must develop a fighting spirit ,
and get the best of our job before
they get the best of us.

Girls
Girls are funny creatures

Girls are funny creatures
As funny as exist on the earth.
It took mans rib to make one
And that's about all their worth
The girls paint themselves all up
And think their cheeks are red,
But it's usually not ther're cheeks,
But they're noses instead.
The girls pride themselves upon
their looks.
Oh! females are SO very vain
But one thing Of which they're
sorely in need
Is an average brain.
The girls are like the heather.
With their heads and ornaments in
their hair
But one thing that reminds us Of an
aborigine
And go around almost bare.

BENJY's PURIM MONOIOGUE
Why He Likes Purim.

81 like Purim first because it's got
a story--a real story-with kings and
queens. and Williams and heroes, and
secrets and conspiracics and killings
and all that. It's exciting-and fun
ny, too.
Take that Old fool of king-Alnl-
suerus: First. he kills his wife on ac.
count of Friend Hannah; next he
turns around and kills Friend Ha-
man on account of his wife.
'Or take Human himself: Remen-
Der the time when he comes to the
King early in the morning. and ASKS
him for permission to hang up Nor
decai. and the King tells him to dress
Mordecai in royal robes and ride him
around town like lord, and be his
servant? Poor devil! He must have
felt as small as mosquitoes toe.
..Then there's another reason why
I like Purim. Most other holidays
have SO many. 'don'ts.' You mustn't
eat this, and you mustn't touch that.
But on Purim there are no 'mustn'ts.'
There's only one big must You must
be jolly,'-that's all That gives n
fellow chance to show what he can
do. You can masquerade like on
Thanksgiving; You can play jokes on
people better than April FOOLS Day
