WILL THEY SEE THE LIGHT? to the Writer by Nelson Harding's Cartoon in The Eagle of May 16.1 "Will they see the Light?" God grant they will Turn round and go the other way. And with God's held, in Jesus' name, Save all the world from sin and shame. Oh! Brothers, it makes one's blood run coldThis killing of the young and old. Hearken to a still small voice, "Save, don't slay." When Jesus comes, what will He say? Remember the sweet Child in the manger. Quit strife, we all are in danger.

It is better to sacrifice the whole Than to lose both life and soul. Remember, Brothers, that the Wise Men came To the City of Jerusalem Seeking Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, A little Baby, born in a manger. A King told the Wise Men to come back that way And let him know where Jesus lay. But they were warned not to say a thing About the Lord Jesus to the King. Then the King in a terrible rage Killed all babies of Jesus' age.

A King more powerful than he Removed the Lord Jesus to safety. In heaven there are many mansions. To get one there's no need of guns. Just end all wars and do all we can For God's peace and good will to man. God don't ask so much of us while here.

Do what is right, and others cheer. Pray to our God in Jesus' name. Be kind, God will treat us the same. BAILEY TAYLOR. East Orange, N.

The seniors always go with Dr. Callahan and Miss Hayner, and as usual the girls did not know, even when they finally started, where they were going. After their departure, however. it leaked out that they were motoring to Sunnyside and Sleepy Hollow, and they had a wonderful day, visiting Washington Irving's old home, the Andre monument, the Sleepy Hollow churchyard and, later, the Hackley School.
