Address-“The Significance of
Thanksgiving, A. D. 1919,”

::::;:Rerrv;e“
The song in costume, “Pinks of pro
priety ” as led by dainty little Miss
Bizzell, was exceedingly pretty, and won
a generous round of applause from the
appreciative audience.
The central feature of the evening
was the address by Rev. Mr. Milne, rector
of St Luke’s Church, Salisbury.’ This
address sounded the note of optimism
and strength in pointing out the causes
for thanksgiving in the year of our Lord
1919, not the least of which is the
growing victory of reason and justice
over the forces of radicalism and dis-
ruption in our country.
VVe hope to have the pleasure of hav
ing Dr. Alilne with us again.

The Fellow Who’ll Take My Place
The following is Earl M. Morgan’s
farewell to Badin:
Here’s a toast that I want to drink to
a fellow I’ll never know;
To the fellow who’s going to take my
place when it’s time for me to go.
I’ve wondered what kind of chap he’ll
be, and wished I could take his hand,
Just to whisper, “I wish you well. Old
Man,” in a way he’d understand.
I’d like to give him the cheering word
that I’ve longed at times to hear;
I’d like to give him the warm handclasp
when never a frier^^ seems near.
I’ve learned my knowledge by sheer hard
work, and I wish I could pass It on
To the fellow who’ll come to take my
place some day when I am gone.

of the autocratic old Colonel being espe-

actors, and of Mrs. Coffman, who was
business manager.

such a sweet and appealing way that
she was compelled to repeat her song.
The playing of the Badin Orchestra
added much to the pleasure of the audi
