IN  SOUTH AMERICA
Mr. and Mrs* Charles Dickson of
Seventeenth avenue, Altoona, have
received tfae following fatter from
their grandson, Charles Dickson,
who is aow touring South America,
and who will be reri-embered by
readers of tfae BuUetia:
Juno 29, on hoepd ttw S. S.
Uruguay. This ship is exactly like
the Argentine, except for tfae crow
and passengers. It isn't very crowded for tfae fact that many passengers disembacked at Rio and Santos. We slipped out of dock at five
tids morning. Today is very bright
and sunny. Probably the last day*
of sunshine we will have on account
of our getting near cold climate.
Most of the ballet members are
sleeping today, and I don't blame
them, because they really are tired.
I certainly am going to take advantage of these four days raA.
Tomorrow's my birthday, ninteen
years old, June SO.
I had a very pleasant birthday,
because they all made it a* for me.
All congratulated me and sent me
gifts at the dinner table. Even ao
I felt so lonely for you all at
home. July 1, We were te Montevi-
dio for ten hours. Did lots of sight
seeing and window shopping and
went to * show. We bad to board
ship before midnight because that
waa the sailing time. July 2, Its
about 11 A. M. now and are due
fo Buenos Aires about one o'clock,
so it will mean going through
customs again, then looking for a
hotel. I believe there is a rehearsal tonight. I hope there wtil be
some letters from you st the
theatre.
THE  CLOCK
What would we do without tfae clock
To tell tiw time of day;
And also tell tfae time of night—
For night-time follows., day.
iWriii*-*!*;
ar tithe
You're busy as can
But every minute by the clock
Is kept quite perfectly.
You're tired before the day is done
You take a little rest-
But for the    clock    the time    you
slept
You never would have guessed.
So every minute of tiw houra
it takes to make our day
Is ticked off by the faithful clock,
Whether we work or play.
Let us be faithful as the clock—
(For others follow us)
And on the sabbath morn arise
Someone has put it thus.
"When you am lying late in bod
On God's appointed day;
When you forsake assembling
. In. Christ's appointed way;
•smember, there is sfomeone else '
Will sleep and drive out, too;
You cannot get away from' it—
Someone will follow you."
—Ellen  Irvin.
