A8OU BEN ADHEM

Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increased,
Awoke night from deep dream of peace,
And saw, within the moonlight in his room,
Making 1t rich and like lily in bloom,
An angel writing in "A book of gold;
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And TO the presence in his room he said,
What writest thou?" The vision raised lis head.
And with q look made of all sweet accord,
Answered The names Of those who love the Lord y
And Is mine one?" said Abou, Nay. not So
Replied the angel Abou spoke more low.
But cheerily still. and said II pray thee then.
Write me one who loves his fellow men"
The angel wrote and vanished The next night
It came again with great awakening light
And showed the names whom love of God had
blest;
And, 10! Ren Adhem's name led all the rest.

LAKELAND THE RIGHT PLACE
{ Miami Metropolis

The Metropolis likes Tampa and wants to see
it travel the progress road at a fine gait but all
the same we are choosing Lakeland as the more
desirable place for Southern College. There is
nothing specially desirable in the locating of
college in busy, hurrying city. Southern College
should be given a campus of hundred acres and
every inducement'to the quiet study that is part
of the best school work. Lakeland is a busy, grow
ing town, but it has few of the distractions that
would be offered in Tampa or Jacksonville,
