The following is a supposed diary of Joshua from the time he stood looking westward across the Jordan , to the day after the fall of Jerico. First Day; I told my people we would pass through the Jordan within three days, and go into the land which the Lord our God giveth us. God has told me he will be with me. I said to the fteubenites and to the Gadites and to half the tribe of iianasseh, The Lord your God hath given you rest and hath given you this land, They answered me saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and withersoever thou sendest us, we will go. Second Day; I have sent two men to spy on Jerico. They lodged at the home of Rahab. I wanted to know as much as possible about the defences. The city had two walls. Fifth Day; The spies brought unexpected news. The king of derico was terrified because we were near, even though they are on guard against our attack. The messengers had escaped through the kindness of Rahab. They told how she had hidden them and they had promised that when we took the city, she and her family should be saved if she wound the same red rope on the bars of the window from which they had escaped. Rahab had heard of the great deeds of Yahweh and believed that he would give victory to his people. Sixth Day; We moved from Sitim to Jordan and we are now camping there. ninth Day; We must cross the river. Yahweh has told me the men who take care of the Ark are to carry it down to the waters edge and step into the river. The Lord is with us. Eleventh Day; When the priests stepped into the water the water parted and we passed over the Jordan. They placed the Ark in the center to show that the Lord was present among us. God put it into my mind to make use of the unusual, though not unnatural, state of the river-bed. I ordered that one man out of each of the twelve tribes should take up a stone from the river-bed, where the men had stood with the Ark, and place them where we spent our first night in the promised land, as a memorial of what our Lord had done for us. On the tenth day of the first month, we encamped in Gilgal. Fifteenth Day; We kept the feast of the passover. Later; I met a man who said, as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. He commanded me to take off my shoes and I did so. For the next six days; Our men of war went around Jerico once each day. Seven priests bore before the Ark seven trumpets of rams horns. Seventh Day; We compassed the city seven times and the priests blew the trumpets. We made a long blast and the people shouted and the walls of the city fell down. We destroyed all that was in the city except Rahab and her family. God has been good to us. -Ruth Horsman

A Tribute to Sister Elvira, SSJD, The dawn creeps up upon us As we sleep without a worry As Sister walks along the hall To Chapel in a hurry. The day has just begun And the birds begin to sing, Already in Chapel she has sung Of her Saviour Lord and King. The day and work are hard, But Sister does not mind- She has a word for everyone And that word ' s always kind. The bell at four then rings Classes are out on time . And angels tumble from the rooms The walk list they must sigh. Sickness comes and sickness goes With aspirins, temps and pills; To Sister Kleenex please, my nose - She busily ' round us mills. It ' s ' prep ' time now till nine, The school is quiet as a mouse, And Sister, in Chanel, spends her time Then rests in the quifct of the house. By Carol Lovell The younger ones are let out first And she rushes them off to bath, Then tucks them in just like a nurse With many a cheery laugh. The older ' folk ' are then dismissed They sometimes seem a bother, They gallop round the rooms and halls And yell You ' re just like father ' . Another day thus oasses, Again she makes her call- Her welcome voice then ends the day With the familiar God bless you all . Where Have W e Heard This Before? The College Professor. 0 . Such Rawness in a pupil is a shame. Lack of preparation in the high school is to blame. High School Teacher,.. Heavens, what crudity. The child ' s a fool. The fault, of course, is in the grammar school. Grammar School Teacher... From such stupidity may I be spared. They send them to me so unprepared. Primary Teacher... Kindergarten blockhead. And they call that Preparation. Worse than none at all. Kindergarten Teacher... Such lack of training never did I seel What kind of woman must the mother be. The Mother... Poor helpless child...he ' s not to blame. His father ' s folks are all the same. 50
