story OF the great man.
Altho grief bit at their hearts, altho
tears trickled down their cheeks
when the Funeral Hymn was played,
the voice Of the speaker was not the
voice of sorrow. On the contrary,
with the leader gone, the duties of
those who remained behind were so
much the greater. "The struggle goes
on. We must be men following the
path that Lenin laid out. The master
is gone. but we, his disciples, must
take up the work where he left it.
We who fought the revolution and
achieved the victory by the side Of
Comrade Lenin, must go on with the
work"
The tears dried. The eyes Of every
worker grew brighter. The women
and children. to whom Lenin was as
father, leant forward drinking in
every word Of the speaker. "If our
leader has gone, then we must COL
LECTIVELY finish the work"
That was the idea-collectively we
must finish what he had left unfinish-
ed. Collectively, orphaned as we are,
we must continue along the long path
until all difficulties are removed and
our Communist goal has been reached.
And when the meeting ended-and
the international was sung with the
fire that only revolutionists can i'm
part to it-one knew that out of these
millions Of breasts come the Commun-
list will and determination that only
man like Lenin could have i'm
planted.
For Five Days and Nights.
For five days and five nights-in
the factories, in the clubs, in the
university halls, in the great halls Of
the cities, in the villages, in the
Soviets-Soviet Russia was one vast
meeting place filled with the workers
and peasants who knew Lenin so well.
For five days and five nights-few
thought of work. And from all cor
ners of the country came the workers
and peasants, sent by their factories
and village Soviets to see the great
man as he lay on the bier, surrounded
by flowers, resting with his hands
folded before him, with a gentle smile
on his face-a smile that indicated
that he was content with what Soviet
Russia had attained-Soviet Russia of
his inmost feelings and thoughts.
For five days and five nights-the
Funeral March sounded in the Temple
of Labor, the workers and comrades
stood guard, and soldiers of the Red
Army kept watch over Ilyitch in
death.
For five days and FIVE nights-out
in the bitter cold of the Moscow win
ter stood the workers and peasants.
waiting their turn to see him once
more-before saying goodbye -
Was ever a man more loved by the
masses? Lenin, giant mind of the
Russian revolution, leader of the
World Revolution - hated by the
world bourgeoisie-loved by the world
of the earth.

 To American Breakfasts

Dublin. Feb, 2S.-Complaint is made in a letter to the Dublin press that American flake metal is busting Irish meal from the shops in large and small towns alike.

 Nevertheless says the Complain- ant, American flake meal is being asked for by the public and pushed in the shops, and every packet bought prevents the sale Of as much Irish oats"
