The Southern Israelite
Children’s Corner
Mv dear Children:
I hink the nicest things in the world are those which one can share with
lh r . That’s why I am so happy to be writing to you all today, for I have
something very lovely to share with you.
this page—for, though it was given to me, I am sharing it with
, now we have something that is ours together.
”ih , corner of ours is going to be such fun! Of course we will have
... everyone likes stories. And puzzles, too, for I know that all of you
„ busy little heads that enjoy a good puzzle to solve. Jokes? Naturally,
• r all of you children are laughing folks because grumpy children simply
can * t live in our happy world.
And, children, this really won’t be your page unless you have stories
i letters and jokes and puzzles of your very own on it. So send them in to
m e and he sure and write your names clearly so everyone will know who has
claimed this page as his own by writing to me.
Can you imagine it, children? I almost forgot to tell you who I am—
j how could you send me your letters and stories without knowing my
nn*? Before I tell you, I want you to know that I think a sister is one of
•he nicest things in the world to have. Not a terribly big sister, or a very,
ttle sister. Just a nice middle-sized sister who loves to read anything
u wn te, play any games you play, listen to all you have to say.
So that is who I am—a sister for you all. I hope to hear from many of
vou very soon.
Always your
“SISTER MIRIAM.”
This splendid poem was sent in by one of my little friends in honor of our
v ,. r y first page. Can you do as well as Sarah?
“SCHOOL DAYS”
When I think that the summer is over,
I begin to get awfully sad,
’Cause I think of the days of vacation
And all the good times I have had.
Then I think thal old school days are here
Making me study once more,
And instead of playing each morning
I’ll have to walk through the school door.
!
But it isn’t so bad after all,
For all of my friends are here,
And new lessons and games are pleasant,
I am glad for the new school year.
By Sarah Levy, Atlanta, Ga., Age 12.
TODAY’S PUZZLE
Here, children, is a puzzle. If you write the names described in each line,
•he first letters will spell a wonderful name. Let me know if you solve it.
First is a man whose faith in God was supreme
The second led Israel into the land of its dream.
The third was driven from Eden in sorrow and tears,
The fourth was won by her husband after seven long years,
The fifth went traveling in search of a wife,
The sixth killed his brother and fled for his life.
The seventh a prophet, a shepherd was he,
The whole is the glorious land of the free.
MEDIEVAL THIRST
lb y, Hry! my vagabond—
W hat so le ye now
if *ager love and fond
lino hied ye forth and how?
Thu? smoldering liquid fire
• v ' / / do not muchly crave,
Taki mre, do not deprave
1 need and make it dire.
List th>re is no hiding here about,
*"'• I must needs converse with care,
ho there be no walls nor voices shout
nil many an ear couldst listen there.
Ah. and rightly the silent hills I bless
.. at gather in an early dusk—
!’ !< ' r l u >ck tis time—no more no less,
' * >( ,Tle the fire within the husk.
NOISE
• a>uf {g noise
• the tinkling of one symbol
Against another ‘
Of love—of hafe _
wlancholy and Vallegro.
. noise but a demon of
’ a nance -
e (antithesis of beggared silence,
pered with the steel of Youth.
OUR FRIEND
By ERNA F. ASHER
Who dares to call upon his God
In any time of need;
And has true faith and confidence
Will find a Friend, indeed.
Why speak our trials to mortal mein
If weighted down with care;
When God Himself stands close at
hand
To answer every prayer?
PHANTASY
From out a myriad shadowed chaos,
I sought a fading sheen—
In which I dreamt a golden floss
Made Life a mad careen—
Of wishes and of avatars—
That carashed as comet stars.
I soared aloft the human plane
And reaped a poignant pain
Of grinning lips and mocking laugh
That reeked with darkness’ chaff,
While passion of a Volscen rolled
And black oblivion was extolled.
So trite a vial to the eye
Thou* torment dost supply—
Thou, bit of death with no alloy,
