BRYSON Friendliness Has a Loud Voice A last glow of beauty before the night, A glow of radiant colors of delight. Falls upon our trodden land. A call of colors painted by one gifted hand. The night quickly follows these colors so bold. This darkness I long and yearn to hold. I stretch out my smittened hand Wanting to be a part of God’s perfect plan. What is this plan I ask of thee. Is there a wo#d.or some secret key? Is it to be done here on this land? Is it to be done by us, your man ? We will work until that seventh day. Then I hope he can look down and say: “This land so vast it pleases me To see persons strive to make it free.” Oh thoughts come to me of the closing day; The setting sun, the hidden ray. Let us be silent while night is here And hold these thoughts close and dear. Virgil McBride Elected President of Choanoke Virgil L.
