spirit that is in them and turn dark

in the universe a heaven-inspired soul
to comfort those cast down. God bless
each of you.

*??????:?????*?????????????
The linotype made u slight error in
>ur notice of Red Cross knitting in
ruesday's paper, which entirely re
versed the original meaning. The
sentence should have been, "The Chap
:er will be glad to furnish wool free of
rost to all wishing to knit for the Red
Cross." The knitters will not be
isked to bear any expense at all, ex
cept the price of the needles, which is
very small.
