♦ BUT YOU BELIEVED IN ME. ♦
♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*
When dreams were morning-stung,
And every heart-beat flung
A challenge in the wind;
And when the purple end
Os every common road
Was Fortune’s bright abode;
When every calling sea
Was shored with Arcady,
I was so foolish—young—
But you believed in me!
When dreams were burned from gold
To gray, and manifold
Gaunt figures haunted there,
And ghosts were everywhere;
When Hope, with withered wing.
Could neither soar nor sing;
When Trust was Treachery,
And God had ceased to be!
My blood was clammy-cold—
But you believed in me!
Your faith has built the fears,
The wreckage and the tears
To daring dreams again.
The God who fashions me
Knew well, my dear, that you
Could build me back so true,
And cause my will to be
So strong that even He
Could trust me through the years—
If you believed in me!
-—Perrin Holmes Lowery, in South
ern Woman’s Magazine.

> CHORAL CLUB TO MEET
► MONDAY AT ARGO STUDIO.
k There will be a meeting of the
recently organied Choral club Hon
day evening at 7:30 o’clock, at the
studio of Miss Helen Argo, in the
Times-Recorder building.
Members of the Choral club parti
cipated the past week in the produc
tion of the “Deestrick Skule,” under
auspices of the Music Study club cf
Americus, and the usual weekly meet
ing was dispensed with last Mondav.
Tomorrow night, however, it is the
hope of leading spirits in the de
lightful assembly that a full attend
ance will be present. It is proposed
to broach at the meeting oMnday
night a matter of universal interest
to vocalists here, and as the season
is already far advanced, it is thought
best to push rapidly whatever plans
may be agreed upon for Christmas
music to be produced under direction
of the club, as well as to decide upon
seme definite policy of study and
progress.
