A Psalm in Accounting MITH is my teacher. I shall not pass. He maketh me to explain | debit and credit, and exposeth my ignorance to the class. He restoreth my sorrow. He causeth me to take bank reconcilia- tions for his check-book’s sake. Yea, though I study till mid- night, I shall gain no knowledge, for discounts do sorely bother me. He prepareth a test before me, in the presence of mine class- mates. Surely distress and sadness shall follow me all the days of this course, and I shall remain in my Accounting class forever. AMEN!

CLOSE TO NATURE In a verdant woodland nook, By a babbling crystal brook, Where the sunbeams gaily play Hide and seek the livelong day; Where the happy flowrets nod To their brethren of the sod; And the pine trees softly sing With the birdlings on the wing— There in that spot so woodsy I ate in peace my Hoodsie.
