Melting Snow

The folks who live in tropic climes,
Miss all the joys we know.
When stern New EnglandS winter
Flees with the melting snow.
The sun has started rivulets.
And they will Join each other;
And flow so swiftly southwark
To reach their ocean mother.
Beside the road and in the woods,
Down at the foot of hills;
Swallowed by weeds and grasses,
Deep greenish pools lie still.
The steady drip. drip, from the caves
Is heard through all the day;
And the sap dripS in the buckets
In the good old March-timo way.
Let this melting snow token be,
OF pleasanter days in store. q
And drive the winter of doubts ant
fears
From our hearts forevermore.

IN BY ATLANTA POLICE.

ATLANTA, February a. The
crime waves which swept Atlanta in
1922 and 1923 brought more arrests
than We're made in this city in any

compiled by Lonnie L. Stone, clerk
in the office of Grief of Police
James L. Beavers.
In spite of the fact that the ma

during both of these years, the
number of DRINKS arrested far ex-

enness in 1923 constitute an I'M

nounces that Southern Methodism
claims the world record in this re-
gard, so far as Protestant denom-
nations are concerned.
Mr.. Sensabaugh has secured re-

cation departments in other protes-
tant boards and comparison re-
veals the fact that the record OF
board in 1928 is we'll advanced Of
showing other boards, as indicated
by the following figures; Northern
Methodist, 10,961 units; Northern
Baptist, 8,01S; Southern Presby-.
terian, 1852; Disciples, 2,487;
Northern Presbyterian, 1900;
United Brethren approximately,
500; Congregationalists, 235.
OF the 2s,542 credits reported by
Mr.. Sensabaugh, 1901 were taken
in the 1876 standard training schools
held in Southern Methodist terri

earned by pastors in IL pastors
