However that may be, it can be safely set down that Mr. Elam is a young singer of much promise, and that the future ought to bring rich and rare results. Some of his hearers classed it as one of the best recitals of the season, and this may not be considered as altogether too enthusiastic. His offerings were reecived with appreciative interest by a goodly audience of discriminating musical taste, and the singer was compelled to respond with several en cores. His program included 16th cen tury airs by Purell, "When I am laid in earth" and "I attempt from love's sickness to "My lovely Celia" by Lar Wilson: "Come and trip it" by Handel; French songs by Hue, DeFontenailles and Vi dal; a group of Kussian songs by Rahmaninoff, and a group of Spirituals by Dett and Burleigh.

It is' a marvelous sign of the times that there is a vast stir among most of our people, a waking up from the lethargy and indifference of a state of servitude, an eager desire for learning and all of the accomplishments of polite society, a noble resolve to rise to a higher phase and wield a mightier power.

Here lies our hope for the future. We shall not always be crushed to The blood that flows in our veins will grow warm and a new light will kindle in our eyes as we start climbing. The great leaders of the race have lifted up a high standard before us and happy are they who shall climb until they reach it. Some may contend than all cannot be leadersthat is true but all must admit that any may climb high in their endeavors, pluck the laureis tor which they are reahc ing, grasp the prize held out be tore them and by their brilliant achievements have honor conferred upon their people and have their names written deep in history. wnere are our rising young women.

You are needed now as never before. We call you to come torward. We bid you lift your eyes to the heights of knowledge and power. We point you to those whose names have become house hold words, and bid them press on to the front rank in the struggle ot lite. The lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime.

And departing leave behind us footprints in the sands of time. A GOLDEN THOUGHT And beyond the dim unknown Standeth God behind the shadows Keeping watch above His own. LOWELL.

Sometimes, especially on a hot day, by the appearance of the different faces that one meets on the one is puzled as to just why such faces use face powder. Not only is the shade undesirable for appearance, but the enormous amount that is heaped upon the face, shows lack of choice in selection, extravagance in application and the loss of modesty in the feminine sex. In short, such a face is so conspicuous and puzzling, that one wonders whether such a character is a member of the Barnum and Bailey group.
