INSTALL IT...FOROETIT!
Here at last is the battery
science has been trying to per
fect for more than 100 years!
Think of it-now you can
install in your car the most
powerful battery ever built,
then forget it completely for
at least ten long years!
• The SILICON WATERLESS BATTERY
delivers quick starting power for
10-ton truck engines at 70 degrees
below zero... far more than your
car needs.
• The SILICON WATERLESS BATTERY
makes your lights burn brighter by
Westinghouse light meter test.
• Tachometer R.P.M. tests prove that
the SILICON WATERLESS BATTERY
turns your engine over faster.
• The SILICON WATERLESS BATTERY
is powerful enough to start your
car engine 50,000 times a year for
at least 10 years!
• In competitive laboratory tests, the
SILICON WATERLESS BATTERY
produced 400% more power than
one of the nation’s top-selling,
nationally-advertised batteries!
• The above statements of fact are
certified to be true in every respect.
50,000 STARTS A YEAR
FOR 10 LONO TEARS!
What other battery stores such
tremendous reserve power that
it can deliver the equivalent of
more than 120 starts a day for
10 years or more? The Silicon
Waterless Battery did it in
the toughest battery test ever
devised by any laboratory
made a total of half a million
starts!

THE CRYSTAL CHRIST
But thee, but thee, 0 Sovereign
Seer of Time,
But Thee, O poet’s poet, wisdom’s
tongue,
But Thee, O Man’s best man, O
love’s best love,
() perfect life in perfect labor writ,
O, all men’s eoinrabe servant, king
or priest,
What "If” or “yet”, what mole,
what flaw, what lapse,
What real defect, or shadow of
defect.
What rumor, battled by an enemy,
Of inference loose, what lack of
grace.
Keen in torture’s grasp or sleep’s
or death’s,
Oh, what amiss may 1 forgive in
Thee,
Jesus, Thou good Paragon, Thou
Crystal Christ?”
—Sidney Lanier
In this poem, Lanier contrasts
Christ with all the great and good
of history —Shakespeare, Homer,
Socrates, Dante, Milton, Emerson,
Tennyson, etc,
In his "Ballad of the Trees and
The Master”—-“Into the woods my
Master went”, we see that he had
learned the meaning of the words
of Jesus, “if 1 be lifted up, will
draw all men unto me.”
To Lanier, Christ was creator,
lie placed the Bible before all other
books and Christ above all other
personalities in history. In recom
mending books to be read, he plac
ed the Bible first and Shakespeare
next. He believed that the world’s
greatest need was Christ. By faith
in Him, he wrote his greatest poem,
“Sunrise”. He dictated it to his
wife when in Tryon, N. C., and
when on his deathbed with a 104
degree temperature.
“But I fear not, nay I fear not
the things to be done; I am strong
with the strength of my Lord, The
Sun”. Fed. 3 is the anniversary
of Lanier, born in 1842.
Anne Kendrick Sharp
Chairman Poet’s Corner Creative
Writing Club, and one of the three
members of the N.C.U.D.C. com
mittee to make Lanier better
known in the state; also, N. Y.

Fame”, N. Y-. University.
