1-; THE SUT-HERLAND Thousands of slaves now left the South and joined the North- em forces, thus providing an important factor not only in an earlier victory for the North but also in securing peace. People now began to see that all Lincoln had done had been for the good of the Union and the people as a whole. The politicians, both Democratic and Republican. saw where their views had been wrong and that Lincaln had beeh right nut only in freeing the slaves but also in gradual emancipation. After the war. the Northern border states declared the slaves within their boundaries free, thus freeing the last slaves in the United States and finishing Lineoln's great work. At last he had redeemed his boyhood pledge that if ever it wouid enter intc his power to help the slaves he would do it. The blow was well timed, directed by the full force of his sage acity and never hindered by personal ambition. As the years have rolled by. it has become apparent that Abraham Lincoln's service to his country and humanity were not limited to his life-time. for the memory of these achieve- ments continues as strong and inspiring to this generation as to the preceding. -Bernard McGarry '29. WW APPLE BLOSSOMS. Apple blossoms in a mag, Alive yet never waving- Dainty, lithesome, full of grace Like tiny shreds of hanging lace, Each blossom alone, a cushion 3w For the golden pins of yellow, Who charmingly balance on slender toe Until each petal droops to go. Oh, what beauty you possess, Children of May adored. Enchantment is imparted in one caress As 'gainst you now my face 1 press. I almost seem to hear you say, Oh, let us come again next May. -Mu1'iel Elam '30.
