CHAPEL PROGRAMS
This year we have been visited by both a princess and a duke. The princess came from Damascus and gave us an ancient story of her city—the story of Naaman the Leper. The duke, who was from France, showed us pictures of beautiful old French buildings, which he is trying to keep from being destroyed.
Early in March our own class took part in a chapel program by demonstrating some lessons in musical appreciation.
Piping merrily William the Piper floated down the meadow Brooks seated at the Helm of his boat. Being a New-man in this country he stopped to ask his way of a Miller. The miller directed him across the Lee to a little town called Goldsborough. There he stopped at the inn of the Van Nest. After a good sleep, a shave with his Gillette, and a hearty meal of Thomson’s baked beans and Wagner’s canned Pease, he was much refreshed.
The next morning he continued his wanderings, but unwittingly he trespassed on the land of a farmer named Hineline, who threatened to take him to the village of Simonton and throw him and his Junk-in jail. Finally he made his peace, but he had to leave his boat behind.
“However, I’m not so unlucky,” said he, “for I have stout Douglas shoes to tramp in, and my faithful dog, Benjamin, to bear me company.”
