Life is like a journey taken on a
train,
With a pair OF travellers at each
window pane.

Let's be pleasant travellers;
ITS so short a ride"
This original poem is the compost

the staff members. Mrs. Greenlee
is the wife OF Nicholas Greenlee,
prominent musician OF the city. Mrs.
Greenlee is extremely modest, the

tope that soon she will have her
poems published for the enjoyment
of the public. Thank you, Yvonne,

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April "a.
Six hundred and seventy-six dele
gates from all over the world, half
of them ministers and half laymen,
began in the Municipal Auditorium
here today the first general confer
ence of the year-old Methodist
Church.
For three weeks they will study
the first quadrennial message from
the Council of Bishops, sift 105 "me-
MORALS" from individual Methodists
and groups of Methodists, and adopt
legislation to strengthen administra-
ton of a far-fung spiritual en-
pire.
They will coordinate women's
work in the church, decide whether
to continue, modify or discard sew
eral youth" organizations inherited
from the three previously estranged
branches of Methodism, and they
will review, but probably won't
change the articles of doctrine be-
queathed to Methodists by John
Wesley back in the 18th century.

Police said they had closed every

Consolidation Praised.
Bishop Boyt M. Dobbs of Jack

The Methodist Episcopal Church,
the Methodist Protestant Church

a year ago after a reunion move
ment which lasted 20 years. The
M. P. Church had broken away in
1928 in protest against the Meth
odist Episcopal Church's administra-
tive setup. The Southern church
broke away in 1874 after a disagree
ment on the slavery issue.

was just like him to tell Tiny to take
a tablespoon of cough syrup and then
decide to leave her bottle of sleeping
medicine instead. Five drops of Oscars
sleeping dope is the usual dose. Tiny
Pride is probably the only person who
ever took a tablespoonful.

though, is that if Oscar weren't the

HEAR ABOUT TINY BROWN?
Continued from poss five

All day she kept expecting Eli Pride
to come into the store. She didn't
know why she expected that, or what
she expected he'd say if he did come
in. Anyway he didn't.
BY -suppertime, Oscar Brown was
in dither. Tiny, you've got the
jumps. What we're you doing coughing
this morning before daylight? I'm not
going off and leave you with the store
tonight. that's what!'
"Oh, Daddy -"
well, maybe you're right. Anyway
I'm going to mix you up some cough
syrup, that's what I'm going to do!
And you take full tablespoonful. you
hear me, right after you've had your
supper. that's what!'
Yes. Daddy"
Oscar dithered around so in his pre-
scription room that George Wharf had
to call him three times and finally yell,
You Oscar! We're ten minutes late
right now Come onv'
Oscar came and George rushed him
out of the store so fast that there
wasn't time for last kiss or even
pat. Tiny was sort of whispering.
"Goodby Goodby. Daddy" when
the door banged and she was left there
Thinking about never seeing him any
more - at least not for long time.
Tiny made her own supper at the
fountain - hamburger on toast, glass
of milk, chocolate marshmallow sun
dae with nuts. And she had promised
her father about the cough syrup. She
got the bottle where he had left it for
her on his work table and conscien-
tiously poured out her brimming
tablespoonful. 1t was bitter and raw
and made her eyes run, but probably
there might have been tears in her
eyes anyway Because Tiny stood there
stroking the little bottle and whisper
ing, "Oh, Daddy. Poor Daddy"
OF course Eli Pride knew that Tiny
shut up store on Merchants nights.
He knew she walked home alone.
Maybe that had something to do with
his being in the neighborhood that
Thursday evening. But he didn't have
any plan to speak to her, and when he
