Look not on life's dark side; For just beyond these gloomy hours Rich, radiant abide. Let hope, like summer’s rainbow bright, Scatter thy failing tears; And let God’s special promises Dispel all anxious fears. To every grief a Lethe comes, For every toil a rest; So hope, so love, so patient bear- God doeth all things best.

Shakespearean Comedy An enthusiastic rendering of “The Comedy of Errors,” an early play by William Shakespeare I appeared on the stage recently at Windham College In Putney, Vermont. And pictured above, I “clowning around,” are two Windham College students who appeared in the college’s production, one of them [on the right] being Wayne Griffith, son of J.C. and Gaynell Griffith of I Burnsville. The play won resounding applause for the comedy, in which Shakespeare’s blank verse was preserved, but embellished by scare wigs, slapsticks, chairs on wheels and bubble machines. The action included death defying leaps, duels with seltzer bottles, heartbreaking pantomimes and frantic chase scenes across the boards. | Note Os Thanks j We would like to thank / everyone for the beautiful M flowers, cards, food and every act of kindness shown us during the recent death of our loved one.

Ufo Aflfppl And, not? Simple interest loans can save y OU money. Because you pay interest only on the outstanding balance, you pay less when you make your payment a little early. You can set your own payment date, too. , So, next time you want a loan. . . for a new car, home improvement, or whatever. . . stop by your nearest Northwestern Bank office, and ask for a simple interest loan. It can save you money. We agree with you. . . THE NORTHWESTERN BANK special thanks to Dr. Melvin Webb who was so kind during the past sixteen years.
