THY SEA IS GREAT, OUR BOATS
ARE SMALL
O! Mak%r of the "Mighty Deep,
Whereon our vessels fare, /
Above our life's adventure keep
Thy faithful watch and care.
In Thee we trust, whate'er befall;
Thy sea is great, our boats are small.
We know not where the secret tides
Will help us or delay,
Nor where the lurking tempest hides,
Nor where the fogs are grey.
We trust in Thee, whate'er befall; .
Thy sea is great, our boats arev small.
When outward 'bound we boldly sail
And leave the friendly shore,
Let not our hearts of courage fail
Until the voyage is o'er.
We trust in Thee, what e'er ""befall;
Thy sea is great, our boats are small.
When  homeward   bound   we   gladly
turn, *
O! bring us safely there,
Where   harbor   lights   of   friendship
burn
And peace is in the air.
We trust in Thee, whate'er befall;
Thy sea is great, our boats are small.
Beyond the circle of the sea,
When voyaging is past,
We seelc our final port in Thee;
O! bring us home at last.
In Thee we trust, whate'er befall;
Thy sea is great, our boats are small!

Born September 15, 1848, in' New

was graduated -from -the medical
school of University of Michigan in
1876, and had since practiced in

Vilma/Banky has become an immigrant again. Only for long
enough to take one sequence of a
moving picture, it is true, but nevertheless she has gone to Ellis Island
and revived the old memories of her
entrance into this coutttry five years
ago, an unknown picture actress trying her luck in America. The reason
is that "This Is Heaven," her newest
starring picture which, comes to the
.Liberty theatre Friday and Saturday,
gives her the role of a Hungarian
immigrant girl finding her way about
in New York.
In order to make the atmosphere
as authentic as possible, the portion
of the story which shows her entering this country was actually filmed
in the closely guarded government
buildings on Ellis Island during the
company's location trip to New York
last fall. It made Miss Banky recall
how strange and frightened she had
felt when she. got her first glimpse
of New York harbor, especially since
she had taken out her first citizenship papers' only a short while before
shooting was begun on "This Is
Heaven."

At   Meeting   Week   Ago—Entertaia
Manchester Brothers.
Rotarians enjoyed .a double treat
last Thursday. Instead of the usual
noon-day luncheon meeting, a six
o'clock dinner, at which half a dozen
Manchester Rotarians were present,
was held. Also they had a distinguished Argentine Republic member
as honored guest. Professor Dawson,
who is spending the school year at
the University of Michigan, cam-
over at the invitation of the local
club to speak on various phases ot
South American life.
The speaker is connected with the
observatory, department at the University of Argentina, some fifty miles
from Buenos Aires. For an hour he
spoke of many interesting things in
the country of his adoption: the vast
grazing regions, the extensive territory devoted to corn and wheat raising. He stated that the country can
never hope Co do much in a manufacturing line because of -the almost total lack of minerals. They do have
tungsten deposits; but that is about
all. Down in one corner of their
domain they have found a little oil,
but production is nothing when compared to that of the United States.
Inasmuch as most of the government officials are owners of large
tracts of land, there isn't much of a
tax on real estate; they depend almost altogether on duties on imports
for revenue. '
Mr. Dawson gave a graphic illustration of- the size of Argentina by
inverting a map of the country with
one end at the southernmost part of
the United States; the other end
reached way up beyond Hudson Bay.
Winter begins down sthere about
the first of May, but they never are
very severe in the region where he
makes his home. In his 17 years residence he never saw the ground covered by snow more than once.
The country was first settled by
Spaniards and their language predominates. The native Indian, so far
as those of pure" blood are concerned,
have about disappeared, intermar'
riage over the centuries with foreigners being responsible.
Mr. Dawson stated that there is
one barrier to service clubs in South
America. There the residents are
very strong for home life and do not
take readily to anything that interferes with their taking their meals
at home. No clubs such as flourish
in the United States can be organized
there in a city of much less than fifty thousand population.
A i male quartet, Messrs. Henne,
Hildner, Martin and Miller, contributed a number of vocal numbers, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Merritt Martin.
All in all it was a very much worth
while affair, and one that will be repeated at some future date when the
Manchester brothers can come over
in greater number. * Counter attractions prevented many of them from
attending' this -meeting.
