Tho River Of Time

(Mrs Juliet Marion Stanley Warren)
The river of Time runs swiftly along
Bearing us on. bearing US on:
1t ceaselcssly flows. its current is
strong,
Bearing us on.
Today is sunny and joyous and bright,
We sing a song, we sing song;
Days past broughc~SorrOw and sadness
and night,
We sang no song.
Our banks are turned toward the set
ting sun,
AS we glide on, as we glide on:
We know not how nearly our journey
is done.
AS we glide on.
But in faith and trust and hope we
rest
AS life goes on, as life goes on:
knowing our Fathers will is best
AS life goes on.

THE LAW OF OBEDIENCE

The first item in the commonsense creed
is Obedience.
Do your work with whole heart! Re-
volt is sometimes necessary, but the man
who mixes revolt and obedience is doomed
to disappoint himself and everybody with
whom he has dealings. To flavor work
with protest is to fail absolutely. When
you revolt, why revolt-climb, get out,
hike, defy-tell everybody and everything
to go to limbo! That disposes of the case.
You thus separate yourself entirely from
those you have served-no one misunder-
stands you-you have declared yourself.
But to pretend to obey, and yet carry in
your heart the spirit of revolt, is to do
half-hearted and slipshod work. If revolt
and obedience are equal, your engine will
stop on center and you will benefit nobody.
not even yourself.
The spirit of Obedience is the control
ling impulse of the receptive mind and
the hospitable heart.
There are boats that mind the helm
and boats that don't. Those that don't,
get holes knocked in them sooner or later.
To keep off the rocks obey the rudder.
Obedience is not slavishly to obey this man
nor that, but it is that cheerful mental con-
dition which responds to the necessity of
the caSe and does the th;Dn
Obedience to the nstitution-loyalty!
The man who has not learned to obey has
trouble ahead of him every step of the
way-the world has it in for him because
he has it in for the world.
The man who does not know how to re-
ceive orders is not fit to issue them. But
he who knows how to execute orders is
preparing the way to give them, and bet
ter still-to have them obeyed.-Elbert
Hubbard in Roycroft

THE LAST SALUTE

We pass and leave you lying No need
for rhetoric, for funeral music, for melan-
choly buglecalls. No need for tears now,
no need for regret.
We took our risk with you; you died
and we live. We take your noble gift,
salute for the last time those lines of pitt
able crosses, those solitary mounds, those
unknown graves, and turn to live our
lives out as we may.
Which of us were the fortunate-who
can tell? For you there is silence and the
cold twilight dropping in awful desolation
over those motionless lands. For us sun
light and the sound of women's voices,
song and hope and laughter, despair, gay
ETY., love-life.
Lost, silent terrible comrades, we, who
might have died, salute you.-From the
Anglo-French ReViez0.

CHAUTAUQUA CIRCLE

On Sunday afternoon, Nov. 9th, regu-
lar bi.weekly meeting of the Pierian
Chautauqua Circle was held, in the school
room, Pres w. J. McC. officiating. At
tendance fifteen.
Following roll call and the reading and
approval of minutes of the last meeting,
Pres. Nice. completed the division of the
Circle into classes from A to F, making a.
permanent formation for the season. Three
new members were seated, classes A, B
and c receiving each an additional men,
her. A few words of welcome and ex-
PLANTATION as to the use of library cards
and general procedures of the Circle were
addressed to the new members by Pres.
McC.
One application was submitted for ad-
mittance and referred to the Membership
committee after which, library books hav-
ing been exchanged, the Circle settled
down to hear the final papers and debate
on the subject, "Why I Believe in the
Open Shop" VS.. "Why am Not in Favor
of the Open Shop" Messrs. M. l. and
F. d. F. read papers on the affirmative
side, followed by Messrs. ]. M. Nc. H.
and A. G. on the negative side. While it
does not come within the secretary's pro-
vince to comment extensively on the papers
read before the Circle, that duty being
ably performed by the critic, it is perhaps
permissible to state that each paper read
contained some logical arguments and
showed studious care in its preparation.
Collectively they covered most every phase
of the subject, especially after the debate
that followed in which numerous knotty
problems were discussed. Awards for the
best papers were given to Mr.. M. L., afir-
native and Mr.. A. g., negative.

tion," was read by Vice-Pres. L. ]. w.

little places"
"Sure, Senlis was that kind of joint"
agreed the youngster from the A. E. F.
''We were encamped along an old
washed out road, all of the regiment that
hadn't been left at the Wilderness and
other places" the older veteran continued.
Across ravine through the timber, we
could see the old Mclean house. We had
seen generals and their stats entering it
and coming out all day and we believed
we'd seen flags of truce"
"Bet the camp was chuck full of
rumors," the A. E. F. ventured
at was" admitted the former private
of the Seventh Indiana. "But finally we
saw a group of horsemen trotting up. /
recognized the old forage cap and the
hook nose of Gen. George Meade, COM
mander of the Army of the Potomac. We
hollered Hey, general, have they surren-
dered ?'"
"What! All you buck privates hollered,
Hey, general?'"
Certainly, we were old campaigners to-
gether," replied the old-time Yank. "The
general hollered back, The whole army of
Northern Virginia has surrendered. You
get to 60 home, boys'
"Then we started to celebrate. There
were from sixty thousand to one hundred
thousand Union soldiers around about.
Every flag in the army was unsheathed.
We wrapped our officers in the colors, put
them on stumps and made them make
speeches. All the din and noise was ter
rife"
"We were quiet after II o'clock" Of
fered the A. E. F., "but some of us got
into Paris later"
"But most all were wild to 90 home"
the old Yank said, while the young one
nodded vigorously and sympatheticalIy,
"That was April. After the grand review
in Washington was discharged in July"
"Some speed" commented the A. E. F.,
enviously. "Say that's the way to end a
war."-Es.

ARM1STICE DAY, 1865 AND 1921

Grandfathers, fathers, uncles and great
uncles of the A. E. F. remind those young
sters that there is another date beside
November II that is bright on the calen-
dars of war. It's Sunday, April 9, 1865,
the anniversary of the surrender of Gen.
Robert E. Lee, commander of the Con-
federate Armies. g
What was that "armistice day." or
rather that unconditional surrender day,
ffty-six years ago like? What happened
there at Appomattox Court House, Va,
when the Gray gave in to the Blue? The
khaki would like to know. Let John M.
Surface, one time eighteen-year-old pri-
vate in the Seventh Indiana volunteer in
fantry, and entitled to a wound chevron
for a. bullet hole through the right shoul
der, received in the Battle of the Wilder
ness, tell about it.
''It was Sunday, April 9, 1865, and
fine day." Mr.. Surface said. "Just one
week beforea we'd captured Richmond,
the Capitol of the Confederacy. From
there, we'd fought rearguard action with
the retreating Confederates 70 miles west
to Appomattox Court House. We were in
sparsely settled, rolling country, tobacco
plant and not much else sprouting in its
red-black soil. We camped near the little
town and stacked arms. 1t was an out-of-

This paper gave, in Mr.. WIS. usual erudite
phraseology brief synopsis of past
achievements and glimpse at the probable
future conquests of the air.
While the literary part of the session
was in progress Mr.. G.. H. S. gave
demonstration of his artistic abilities by
painting woodland river scene in natural
colors. Upon its completion he was asked
how many basic colors he had used. His
answer of five seemed almost unbelievable
for the finished picture depicted the azure
of the sky, tinted with the rays of a setting
sun; the verdant lights and shadows Of
the forest; the multiplicity of greens and
blues reflected from running water nestled
between vari-colored banks of sand and
rock formation, while over all warm,
summery atmosphere seemed to linger. To
portray all that by blending or placing
five colors in juxtaposition so as to form
consonant whole requires knack, talent
and skill-Mr. SIS. applause was well
merited.
The critics report, given by Mr.. M. G.,
ably summed up the merits of the papers
read and contained few helpful sugges-
tions. His awarding the honors of the
contest to Messrs. l. and @. met with the
members approval. Mr.. G's. frank,
CHEEKY, criticisms are always of con-
structive nature-not "bad medicine" to
