Again have our hearts been warmed,
our zeal and ambition inspired, and a re-
newed covenenant to our God and oun
try been made, after enjoying the even
ing Of April 2Ist, together with many
Others, when the school at this place
rendered a program in commemoratlon
Of the completion 0 fanother years work.
Although the weather was anything but
favorable, raining almost necessarily,
vet we rejoice to see how the patrons
lfacedEthe storm and virtually took up
all the available space when the school
building was thrown into one large room.
The hour and half required in render
ing the program was only too short, and
when the last number vas finished and
we had to depart, it was with regret.
How these incidents call back to the
pleasant memory Of our childhood days,
when we thought that our lot was sc
peculiarly untitled for US, yet not a bur
den, care, or worry rested upon oul
shoulders. Many times have we longed
for the time that we could live them over
that we might really enjoy the care
free'' life Of aschild and know better how

we pass this way but once, idle moment!
gone, and opportunities lost cannot b,
recalled, and to-day finds us fast sliding

days numbered. But we must get bacl
to our subject.
Again on the evening of April AZ
conditions changed, the storm had bee
spent, and the sun had again shone OF

with its soft bright light, and the stars i
their splendor, wanted to lend their as
~sistance in bestowing their individua
blessings and wishing Godspeed to TIL
