"ARCADIAN" JINGLES. 

 By Fannie E. Blakely. 



The Singers. 



Who sings in "Nymphalia" 

 When singers are few? 

 Dear little Hyla, 

 We're grateful to you! 



Rain falls in torrents, 

 The wind roars on high, 

 Low clouds go racing 

 Across the gray sky; 



But, dear little froggy, 

 We know by thy note 

 That somebody's glad 

 When "Nymphalia's" afloat. 



The Decorations. 



Pretty brown cat-tails 

 In bright green and dun, 

 With feet in the water 

 And heads in the sun, 



Standing on guard 

 O'er the swamp's mystery — 

 Pretty brown cat-tails, 

 Pray lend us the key! 



''This Worship of Facts and Things!' 



Some folk think that we are veritable 

 heathen for this worship of facts and 

 things, but we have Jesus as our leader. 

 When they pointed him to the temple 

 he answered with disdain, that those 

 stones would soon be thrown down, so 

 completely that not one would be 

 piled on another. Look, rather, he 

 said, at the lilies in the field or at the 

 wheat that grows, and let those that 

 have ears to hear, hear and those wh< i 

 have eyes, let them see. Let those that 

 have hearts understand, now as then. 

 If Jesus were alive today they would 

 call his discourse science, and elect him 

 president of Wisconsin or Cornell, 

 while the churches were debating his 

 orthodoxy. — E. P. Powell in "In the 

 Woods at Eighty." in "The Indepen- 

 dent."
