Gymnasium Fund. The public has al
ready been informed of the huge bene-
fit the Committee is to sponsor on May
4. The support of this benefit is a ra-
cial obligation to everyonew thin hear
ing distance of the Committees call.
"The situation" says the Committee,
demands the same partisan support
as, for instance, the Loyalists in Spain
received from their Sympathizers, the
same degree of sympathy the Chinese
China. In comparison with great crises,
of course, the st. Mark project is the
voice of an infant crying in the night.
But let it not cry in vain. When the
time comes, May 4, join hands with the
Committee and support the benefit be-
cause it is your affair"

SuspiratiOn

SuSplraJlOn
By T. BOLDEN STEWARD
All heart! could we do with swift JOY
As Time does with this dropping
year
Wear it until its charms are past,
Then toss it off without fear,
Forgetful of its seasons bloom,
Unmindful of its light perfume,
Nor shrink its after pain-alloy;
Or could we as the year departs
Find fresher hopes and truer hearts
As Time finds each new flower year
Could we but drop this waning toy
OF Time with its dead charms that cloy
And drag us back in Hopes despair
Through Life's stark forest where the
blast
Of changing hate and blighting care
Has snapped the threads of Loves fair
loom
Or twisted them in tangled ways;
All heart were there no cost to joy,
Were there no wage for him that plays,
Life's skies which now so overcast
So like these sad days dropping
year
Would be for us or fair or clear.
