Nay, Sir; for song and fragrance are of God. And when you probe Into His mystery, You penetrate the very heart of love. And make of joy a quivering, broken thing. Name me no reasons, Sir. 1 am not wise. And nothing know of logic, save that Love Transcends all reason. If it please you, Sir, Lay down the glass of science for an hour, And touch your finger to the pulse of God. Ah, see the candle in the window frame! Look how it glows and beckons through the gloom— “Come in, come in, who lonely are and poor!” That tree of light upon the Winter snow! Each glistening bough, each tall, aspiring flame $>■.: Breathes “Courage, ye who bear the weary load!” Oh, every uaked tree-top is a harp That swells the angel message “Peace!

What is Beauty, Sir, but God? .VILDA SAUVAGE OWENS. ll Ml Union Semirciry Teaches Modernism The editor of The Palisadian in a talk with a young minister who is a student at the Union Theological Sem inary asked him this direct question: “Is the Union Theological Seminary teaching modernism, or evolution, out right?” Hesitating a moment, the young minister replied: "Yes, it is. But the student body hears very little about it and talks very little about it in its dally intercourse. The subject merely comes into the regular courses through the classes.” "Would this indicate that students must believe in modernism whether or no?” “No; I do not think so. In my own case my father is a fundamentalist, my mother also, but not so much so as formerly.” “Do you think modernism as op posed to the old Bible tenets should be forced as a topic in community churches where the large majority sincerely believe in the Bible as it stands?” “No; I do not.” “You know 1 think it almost cruel to undertake to disillusionize those who have faith enough in the Bible to live their lives by its beliefs, especially when the basis of the modernist faith is no more based on fact than any other theory unproven but merely promulgated. “I think you are right. But at that the theory of modernism seems very reasonable. But I would not question any one’s right to believe as con science dictates. Nor do I believe In trying to disturb the faith of those who choose to believe in the Bible.” “Evacuation” Made For Skating Rink Skating fans of the neighborhood hail with glee the news that the Ori: tani Field Club will again open its rink. The evacuation has been pre pared for flooding, and the Hacken sack fire brigade has promised to fill the pond with water. All will be in readiness for the win ter sports within the next day or two. Last season the Oritani Hnk attracted hundreds of county skaters every day that the weather was fine.—Hacken sack Record. This is Interesting news. But one must naturally wonder how the Rec ord’s sporting writer got the word "evacuation” as associated with an "excavation’’ to be flooded for a skat ing pond. Perhaps this was a “cub” reporter. Community Christma^ Tree .’ * 1 • 1.. * w—^ Cliffslde Park has been enjoying its third community Christmas tree all the past week, and this season, through the efforts of Mrs. George Hall, the specially large tree was se cured. through the subscriptions of cit izens of the borough, in addition to the Woman’s Club contribution, and was decorated with a host of new red, white and blue lights. It has stood, brilliantly lighted, in its prominent position on the. high school grounds, the center of the bor ough, on view from four roads and the trolley, again putting our borough on the map as a progressive co-operating community. On Christmas Eve Professor Hall and some boys summoned the people by bugle calls around the streets to the carol service outdoors, and a group of citizens, including about for ty of our coming citizens in the Amer icanization class, with their teachers, Mrs. Warren and Professor Bagley, gathered around the tree and sang Christmas carols, projected by Pro fessor Hall’s stereopticon.on the sheet hung by the tree. The singing was led by Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Manahan and Mrs. Reeve. A fea ture of the service was the excellent singing of "America the Beautiful” by the Americanization class. Breaks Record All records were broken Sunday In the send-out of gas by the gas depart ment of Public Service Electric and Gas Company when '85,990,000 cubic teet were consumed. The next high est record was made January 19, 1924, when the gas send-out was 79,860.000 cubic feet. Although the send-out Sun day made a record, had the day been a week-day, when the industrial load would have been added, the figures would have approximated 90,000,000 cubic feet. The average send-out for a day in the whole system is about 70,000,000 cubic feet.
