WISE THE LOR
Thanksgiving Song in Bos
ton Harbor Rings in
; the Ears Today.
V
kralse ye the Lord!" Th psalm
u
today
Still rises on our earn.
JL Borne from the hills of Boston
bay
Through five times fifty years
When Wlnthrop's fleet from Yarmouth
crept
Out to tho open main
And through the wldenlns waters wept
In April sun and rain
i "Pray to the Lord with fervent lips"
i Tho leader shouted "Pray"
i And prayer arose fiom all the ships
As faded Yarmoihh bay.
They passed the Bcllly Isles that day
And May-daya came and June
And thrice upon the ocean lay
The full crb of the moon.
And as that day on Yarmouth bay
ifiie England sunk from view. I
While yet the rippling Solent lay I
In April sklea of blue. '
"Pray to the Lord with fervent lips"
Each morn was shouted "pray"
And prayer arose from all the ships
As first tn Yarmouth bay; I
BleTt warm the breeze o'or western seas
Through Mayttmo morns and June
Till hailed these souls the Isles of Shoals
Low 'neath the summer moon;
And as CaMj Ann arose to view.
And Norman's Woe they passed '
The wood-doves came the white mists
through
And circled round each mast.
"Pray to the Lord with fervent lips"
Then called the loader "Pray;"
Antl prayer aioso from all the ships
As first in Yarmouth bay.
Above the sea the hill-tops fair-
God's towers began to rise
And odors rare breathe through the air
Like balms of Paradise.
Through burning skies the ospreys Hew
And near the pine-cooled shores
Danced airy boat and thin cacoe
To flash of sunlit oars.
"Pray to the Lord with fervent lips"
The leader shouted "Pray;"
Then prayer arose and all the ships
Sailed into Boston bay.
The white wtnga folded anchors down
The eea-worn 'leet In line
Fair roe tho hills where Boston town
Should rlso from clouds of pine
Fair was tho harbor summit walled
And placid lay the sea.
"Praise ye tho Lord" the leader called;
"Praise yo the Lord" spake he.
"Give thanks to God with fervent lips
Give thanks to God today"
The anthem rose from all the ships
Safe moored In Boston bay.
"Praise ye the Lord'" Primeval woods
First .heard the ancient song
And summer hills and solitudes
The echoes rolled along.
The Red Cross flag of England blew
Above the fleet that -day
While Shawmut's trlplo peaks In view
In amber hazes lay.
"Pralso yo the Lord with fervent lips.
Praise yo the Lord today"
The anthem rooo from all the ships
Safe moored In Boston bay.
The Arabella leads the song
The Mayflower sings below.
That erst tho Pilgrims boro along
The Plymouth reefs of snow.
Oh! never be that psalm forgot
That rose o'er Boston bay
When Wlnthrop sang and Endlcott
And Saltonstall that day;
"Prolso ye the Lord with fervent lips.
Praise ye tho Lord today;"
1 And pralso arose from all the ships
Llko prayers In Yarmouth bay.
That psalm our fathers sang wo sing
That psalm of peaco and wars
While o'er our heads unfolds Its wing '
Tho flag of forty stars.
And while tho nation finds a tongue
For nobler gifts to pray
'Twill ever sing the song they sung
That first Thanksgiving day:
"Praise ye tho Lord with fervent lips
Pralso ye the Lord today;"
I So rose tho song from all the ships
Safe moored In Boston bay.
Our fathers' prayers have changed to
psalms
As David's treasures old
Turned on tho Temple's giant arms
To Illy-work of gold.
Ho! vanished ships from Yarmouth's tide
Hoi ships of Boston bay
Your prayers have crossed tho centuries
wide
' To this Thanksgiving: day I
Wo pray to Ood with fervent llp
We praise the Lord today
As prayors arose from Yarmouth ship
But psalms from Boston bay.
' Hezeklah Buttorworth.
All Should Be Grateful.

Treatment to Destroy.
Early
Stilwater. Wheat stored in bins
and warehouses of the state this year
is subject to more woelll infestations
than for several years according to
reports from many county farm agents
to the extension department of the Ok-
lahoma A. & M. college. Grain stored
under damp conditions causes it to
heat and soften making the grain sub-
ject to weevil attack the agents re-
port and much of the loss already
sustained this year is attributed by
them to improper storage.
The extension department in reply-
1 ing to the agents suggests that in-
! Testations may be controlled by dry-
ing; fumigating of heating the grain
I the latter method being" the most ef-
I fectivo. One method may be appll-
able where in another case it would
not be advisable it is explained and
farmers confronted with weevil con-
ditions are urged to consult exports
before treating grain by any measure.
